“Every one of our national park battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250,” Trump said at the “America 250” event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on the eve of the Fourth of July, adding: “We’re going to have a UFC fight – think of this – on the grounds of the White House.”
God, he’s so trashy.
It goes beyond trashy. He's riling up his base with a show of violence and normalizing bloodsport. This is an intentional shift in social norms. His base laps it up-- government that's fun like a wrestling match!!??-- and it takes the place in our public life that we had reserved for sober discussion of our nation's wellbeing and handing it over to gleeful violence.
It's not "UFC bad," this is "drinking whiskey for breakfast," the context matters. They are exterminating their enemies and it's going to get worse.
I'm expecting that UFC fight to have at least one fight on the undercard that pits two ICE detainees against each other. Winner gets permanent residency (and gets to go back to their family). Loser goes straight to the Everglades. I bet they even ~~detain~~ fly their families in for the fight so you see the crushed look on the losers' kids when they realize they will never see their parent again. (It will sell even more on TV if the fighters are pregnant women....)
Kristi Noem literally suggested a gameshow where the winner got citizenship.
“Think of this: blood sports. Just like Teddy used to do. Remember Teddy? They called the teddy bears after him, can you believe it? Maybe we’ll make some, Trump Teddies-“
You're no Teddy Roosevelt. Not even close. For one, he respected the position, he didn't ruin it.
“It’s a diamond now, the Oval Office! Look what I’ve done to it! Most respectful EVER!” /s
Hey, if the President is looking to have boxing matches at the oval office like Teddy did, then sign me up. Teddy faught in those fights. Believe he got blinded in one eye from a fight as well.
The man got shot during a speech, finished the speech before seeking medical help. Actually had a wound, didn't have to make it up to feed the ego.
You bet he’d never pass up the chance to make a quick buck off trashy narcissist merch.
“We’ll make them in America, I think? We’ll look at the numbers and see, but I think it’s going to be a great time. Maybe we’ll get WWE here next? Linda knows something about that. I’m in the Hall of Fame-“
He’d never have them made in the US, too expensive for a cheapskate who loves cheap foreign labor.
Some smart entrepreneur in Vietnam should convince the town where their factory us based to rename itself "America" just so Trump merch can say "Made in America, ~Vietnam~"
“That’s a great idea! Who is this guy? Can we get him on staff? I love this guy!”
You're reading from last week's script
He gives president camacho vibes all day, but I will take Camacho over him any day
At least Camacho found the smartest guy in the world and listened to him
Nobody makes this comparison anymore, out of respect for former president Camacho.
