Call me an elitist now and get it over with, because I am very extremely totally elitist about this thing of holding a trashy fight punch hit contest in the front yard of the White House. It’s intentionally trashy, it’s rub our noses in it trashy, it’s suck it up libtards trashy. The trashier the better in Trumpthink. Everything he touches turns to trash.
Trump, who turned 80 today, will spend this evening hosting an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on the South Lawn of the White House. A mass media spectacle months in the making, it has transformed the White House grounds in ways that presidential historians say are unprecedented.
Late last month, construction began on the towering superstructure known as the “Claw” that now sits complete on the South Lawn, taller than the White House itself. White House staff members were told to work from home on Friday while the U.F.C. put finishing touches on the production, which it and its affiliates have spent more than $60 million to put on. Fighters are expected to be filmed walking through the Oval Office, out onto the lawn and into the claw, where some 4,000 people will be waiting to watch a total of seven fights.
It’s vulgar vulgar vulgar, and that’s why they’re doing it.
Much of the White House real estate has been given over to the U.F.C. for this. A crew of motocross stunt riders performed backflips on the South Lawn on Saturday. Another place to watch the fight was set up on the Ellipse, just beyond the White House gates. That space can hold more than 75,000 people.
This fight night is a marketeering extravaganza: The octagonal cage for the fights is plastered with the names of sponsors who paid for their brands to appear with the ultimate backdrop. It’s heavy on crypto and light beer.
Ah yes light beer. On diets are they?
Maybe there will be a miracle.
The U.F.C. event on the White House’s South Lawn faces the threat of severe weather on Sunday evening. Bob Oravec, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center, part of the National Weather Service, said storms were expected across much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, including Washington, D.C., especially between 6 and 9 p.m., with damaging winds, lightning and heavy rain possible. Organizers have said lightning would be the main concern for the event, which is set to begin at 8 p.m.
Send that lighting bolt right to the “Claw”.
