Sunday marks the 250th anniversary of the United States and 80 years of Trump, who organized an unprecedented event in front of the presidential residence in Washington: an evening of mixed martial arts, with two titles up for grabs, enormous expenses and security problems. What’s behind it
We will see the sign of the changing times in the Indian Treaty Room: in the same jewel room of the White House where the United Nations Charter and the agreements that led to the establishment of the International Monetary Fund were signed, Joshua Hokit from Clovis in California, a heavyweight on the rise in MMA and a fine speaker according to whom Michelle Obama is a man and who waits for transgender women in the octagon to give them a good brush-up, will undress and warm up. No, it’s not a movie, Donald Trump really did it. As he promised a year ago, he organized a mixed martial arts event at the White House on a non-random day: June 14, the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the United States and his eightieth. And no, it won’t even be an event for private use like when you get married and call a singer: it will be a show broadcast worldwide, with two world titles up for grabs, over four thousand spectators at the edge of the cage in the gardens south of the presidential residence and eighty thousand connected via a giant screen in the park in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Now, if you think that an event like this in one of the most armored places in the world could cause a thousand problems, the answer is yes: it created them. But nothing that the organizational machine of the president and Dana White, UFC number one and one of the closest men in America to Trump, failed to overlook.
