Yet another White House construction project is underway, though this one is meant to be only temporary.
Crews are erecting an octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn that will host next month’s UFC bout, helping mark the nation’s 250th anniversary — and President Donald Trump ‘s 80th birthday.
Online renderings depict what the completed, wire-mesh-fence-ringed fight space is expected to look like ahead of the June 14 event. It will be ringed by a red, white and blue stage under a towering arch featuring stars and stripes patterns and two large screens carrying the action live.
The cage and stage will themselves be surrounded by thousands of temporary seats, including ringside space for a full marching band that can set the entire scene to blaring music.

And this is okay, why? Why not build a football field in Congress to celebrate the 251st?
When do they throw the Jews and Muslims to the lions?
We are officially a mock-up of the declining Roman Empire.
It looks worse than I ever imagined.
In what possible alternate reality do UFC Cage and Presidential belong in the same sentence? We really are at Mad Max stage…
It’s amazing how prescient the movie Idiocracy was.
I’m going to assume this won’t be open to the public. It will probably be trump and his cabinet watching half naked men roll around in a cage.
It’s funny when you juxtapose the numbers like that and realize dude is almost a third the age of the country.
Oh look he found a way to make the country’s independence about him
Bread and circuses. I just want healthcare and affordable gas/food.
This ranks up there with the most historic tacky shit country leaders have done. And for the 250th anniversary as well.
I want to see his entire inner circle locked inside the cage like a scene from Hunger Games.
Trashy but likely will go over well with his crowd. The guy who described Trump as embodying the WWE theory of politics hit the nail on the head. Politics-as-entertainment, Crowd-rousing pantomimes and kayfabe is how he won over the little people. I guess it was natural that second-term Trump would be a little more UFC. After a while you need the brain damage to be real to get the same entertainment value.
Nothing says class like two people trying to kill each other to celebrate Dear Leader’s birthday.
It’s so much uglier than I expected. That’s quite an achievement.
Does it eat at anyone else that the worst human gets to be president during the epic milestone of 250 years for America? Same with World Cup and Olympics.
Mad Max Thunderdome.
We are at this point in dystopia.
So corrupt too.
What a fucking dipshit
What an absolute embarrassment, at least for the American citizens still capable of feeling embarrassment.
Corrected title: Trump is building a 5,000-seat UFC cage outside the White House to celebrate ~~the country’s 250th and~~ his 80th birthday
how the fuck is this reflective of america??? this shit is pathetic
Just plain gross.
Im so tired at how normal our media is just taking all of this.
Fuck you if you voted for him.
Hope it rains….
Wrong. It’s just a pedophile birthday bash.
The country’s birthday is July 4
Trump’s birthday is June 14.
Guess which one of those dates the UFC event takes place on.
Ok, so they need a billion dollars for ‘security reasons’ to construct a ballroom IN the White House but are willing to host 5,000 people who love violence OUTSIDE on the White House lawn. Got it.
I hope he has a big chest burster of a heart attack on live tv.
They’d lose. Their. Shit. If Obama
Hope it rains 🌧
When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace instead becomes a circus
Isn’t it dangerous without a ballroom to protect it?
Americans can’t afford gas and groceries but okay
I truly hate him so much. He’s the human equivalent of a rotting Jack-o-lantern
He’s just doing this for his birthday
So trashy.
Trashy. Just like Trump.
But Obama was unpresidental cause he had a selfie stick.
… Donald J. Trump. … The Poor man’s idea of a Rich man, The Weak man’s idea of a Strong man, and the Stupid man’s idea of a Smart man.
The country’s 250th is on July 4th.
Trump’s birthday is on June 14th.
UFC’s white house event, usually on Saturdays, is happening on June 14th, a Sunday.
This is purely a birthday gift from a millionaire/women beater towards his rapist/pedophile/billionaire buddy, nothing more.
You have to be dense *as fuck* to believe this has anything to do with ”celebrating america”
A little coliseum for our very own Caligula.
Please boycott this shit
