To think it ridiculous that Trump is staging a punch-up on the White House lawn.

I have only just heard of this. A cage-fighting event to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. On the lawn of the White House. In front of a few thousand invited guests. AIBU to think this is ridiculous? I cannot imagine a violent cage fighting event being held outside 10 Downing Street or for that matter outside Buckingham Palace. America seems to have gone crazy.

Hardly surprising as they are led by a senile madman

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 04/06/2026 14:41

In fairness OP I think America's been crazy for a while now - it's not new!!

x2boys · 04/06/2026 14:43

Well Trump is ridiculous
Nothing would surprise me about him.

olivepicanto · 04/06/2026 14:45

Anything he does or says is ridiculous.

OonaStubbs · 04/06/2026 14:45

If only Trump was fighting at the event, I would love to see him get his face smashed in!

The world is his boxing ring, it would seem.

I mean, it’s very on brand. And his base will eat it up because they’re also imbeciles.

As Shakespeare never said: "all the world's a cage and all the men and no women mentioned are merely fighters"

I hope you weren't planning on going to the US any time soon, as that's you stopped at the border now!

Trump is insane anyway. Everything he does is crazy. The US is going to be so embarrassed when they finally realise that they have been allowing a madman to have such a position of power.

I guess I can kind of imagine Prime Minister Farage staging a prize fight in Downing Street. The elite (like me) having conniptions over it would go down like a fine scotch with his communications bunch.

Loulou4022 · 04/06/2026 20:00

Absolutely ridiculous but sadly nothing surprises me with that idiot of a man!

Letsgetreadytorhumble · 04/06/2026 20:04

Everything to do with this man is ridiculous. He needs to be taken out - one way or another.

It’s to help his billionaire friend and supporter Dana White who is the CEO of UFC. Trump has connections to him and the sport.

smallglassbottle · 04/06/2026 20:19

I'd only approve if it was between good looking opponents and they were covered in peanut butter and marshmallows.

Echobelly · 04/06/2026 20:31

It's just embarrassing - he's making America more like in the film 'Idiocracy' every day.

Hilariously apparently they don't have enough people buying tickets, so they're trying to get members of the military to come. But they still have to pay, and Donnie has demanded they have to meet height and weight standards, because he really hates fatties. 🤐

I saw a post on FB about an effort to get as many gay men tickets as possible and stage a takeover to make it a massive pride fest. I hope they do it.

lljkk · 04/06/2026 20:55

I don't mind the UFC. If anything, I slightly approve.
The guy occupying the Oval Office is a proper pillock in most other ways and utterly corrupt, but UFC isn't an issue for me.

We need Iran to hurry up an enrich that uranium.

Oh believe me we know. Most of us did NOT vote for this lunacy.

You know, the trouble Trump causes is worth it for the pearl clutching alone.
