Tacky Is As Tacky Does

We are celebrating our 250th year of existence and Uncle Donny has the perfect event that will explain his administration to the nation and the world.

The White House South Lawn is getting a temporary makeover, the BBC reports. Construction is underway on an octagonal wire-mesh UFC cage and temporary arena outside the White House, ahead of a June 14 fight card marking 250 years of American independence that President Trump has billed as UFC’s “biggest event” yet. (June 14 is also Trump’s 80th birthday, the New York Times reports.)

UFC Freedom 250, as the event is called, will feature two title bouts: Brazil’s Alex Pereira vs. France’s Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt and Georgia’s Ilia Topuria vs. interim champ Justin Gaethje at lightweight. UFC president Dana White says about 4,300 people—largely military personnel—will watch on the lawn, while as many as 100,000 people will be allowed to watch the fight for free at the nearby White House Ellipse grounds. Ringside, there will be a full marching band providing music, the Guardian reports.

There will be no public ticket sales, though VIP “high roller” special access packages are reportedly being offered to some for $1.5 million. Parent company TKO Group says the UFC won’t profit and is treating the spectacle as a long-term investment. It will be the first professional sporting event staged on White House grounds and comes amid a series of Trump-era renovations, including added gold accents in the Oval Office, a new patio over the former rose garden, a refurbished Lincoln Bedroom bath, and a rebuilt East Wing to accommodate Trump’s new ballroom. The president is also planning an IndyCar street circuit racing event in August that will go past the US Capitol, Washington Monument, and other iconic sites.

How fucking tacky is this?

No public access it is for the making of obscene profits at the expense of this country’s dignity….but how can we be surprised look at who’s is pushing this abortion of an event.

Only an idiot with no sense of honor would consider a gladiator game a rich example of celebrating this country’s independence.

This is a pathetic attempt a from pathetic individual.

  1. UFC cage fighting to celebrate 250 years of the USA says so much about your country in 2026, chuq. And at the White House too, that is a new low. But it will appeal to the lowest common denominator of America in 2026, MAGA followers and Trump fans. The rest of the country can hang its head in justifiable shame at what is happening, and the non-voters can remember that they didn’t vote for anyone else to beat Trump. And -hopefully- regret their decision to stay on their sofas watching soaps, Netflix, football/baseball games, and playing video games, instead of voting.
    Best wishes, Pete.
