Well, the only connection I had with Trump's birthday was to watch the news coverage of the utterly hideous...
UFC cage fighting on the lawn of the White House.
Did you watch a bit of it?
I watched a bit of it.
No, it's brutal.
It's absolutely brutal.
And of course, that's partly why he loves it.
And Pete Hegseth keeps talking about lethality is his favorite word.
Now, I think the thing is I find most troubling, because there is something about the White House that is very special.
and it's a beautiful building replete with history, beautifully kept, and suddenly that lawn where you normally have meetings with heads of state or big events, well, it was a big event, but it's got this sort of makeshift stadium put together.
You've got a whole load of Evel Knievel-type motorbike riders kind of flying through the air.
The honour guard, which is normally there to greet people
Xi Jinping or Keir Starmer or the King, whatever it might be, they were there standing there as an honor guard for the fighters as they came out.
The worst moment, and I think even the crowd, even though the crowd was pumped up USA, USA and loving Trump, was one of the fighters who did an in-the-ring interview afterwards and said, first of all, Donald Trump's the only man in the world who could deliver shit like this.
It's probably true.
Almost certainly true.
Then went on to say how the only person in the world that he loved more than that was Jesus Christ because Jesus... Could he also deliver Evel Knievel and stage fighting?
He could do all that stuff and he could probably ride a mean motorbike himself.
And then went on to say, and Michelle Obama is a man.
