But like if we just had America's pastime baseball on the front lawn of the White House and the MLB set up the game and they promised to cover the costs if grass was destroyed, like I don't think I would have a major issue with it.
My issue, however, is that Trump is so buddy-buddy with Dana White and that whole UFC sphere, and it's the one environment he can go to that's a sports environment, and he won't get pooed out of the arena.
He'll actually get cheered.
So it's just the latest example of him trying to give out goodies to his friends, and they in kind, of course, will support him for his 80th birthday.
That's the thing about this that rubs me the wrong way.
And in addition, I think it's probably not a good look to have such a violent sport at the White House.
And I'm not against the UFC, but I don't think that it's a good mixing of imagery.
There's always another layer when it comes to these Trump controversies.
Often that extra layer has to do with hypocrisy.
Sometimes it has to do with corruption.
Sometimes it has to do with racism.
Like, for example, last week we covered the story about Trump posting to Truth Social that fake video of Hakeem Jeffries and
Chuck Schumer and Jeffrey said the sombrero and the mustache.
There are a lot of people, of course, who are talking about that.
That was a racist post.
We didn't even get to that on our analysis of the story.
We just talked about AI because with Trump, there's often a layer of racism underneath it.
So when it comes to these different things, we just often can't get to everything because there are these other side stories that seem to always be there when it comes to Trump.
