the rest of the world is just shaking it's heads at this preposterous spectacle...
Back in Washington, meanwhile, Pete and JD’s boss has finally almost delivered on a political construction project. This is the 4,500-seater UFC arena now completely obscuring the front elevation of the White House, at the centre of which is an octagon in which “the most historic sporting event of all time” will commemorate the Declaration of Independence this coming Sunday.
Yes, it’s a big, beautiful state cage fight, in which one of the evening’s contenders has already risen to the occasion by promising another fighter he isn’t even facing that he will give him “a golden shower”. “I’m not just going to win,” Josh Hokit explained of Alex Pereira, “I’m going to piss on him.” Go on. “This guy’s the baddest guy on the planet. Look at how I speak to him. Like my dog, like my bitch. Fuck you!” All promises that you’ll recognise from many of Britain’s state occasions. Indeed, one of Hokit’s pledges – “I’m going to chama on your mama” – appears to be a straight lift of something King Charles opined to Trump at one point during the pageantry of the president’s most recent visit to Windsor.
So, much to look forward to on Sunday. Other details of proceedings remain tantalisingly under wraps, but since the event is also – in a remarkable instance of synchronicity – a celebration of Trump’s 80th birthday, you’d hope that there would be some kind of celebratory military element too. Spitballing here, but how about Trump being presented with a Purple Heart for not getting syphilis (as far as we know) in 1980s Manhattan? A period that the president has, of course, described as “my personal Vietnam”.
Yet what about beyond Sunday? Well, Trump loves his new testosterone gazebo so much that he is considering keeping it up on the White House lawn after UFC Freedom 250, as the event is known. He has pointed out that the French set that precedent with the Eiffel Tower, having originally planned to dismantle it after the 1889 World’s Fair. “We’re building something in front of the White House that’s quite attractive to a lot of people,” the president claimed last week. “And I’m looking at it and maybe we’ll never, ever take it down.”

it will be good if they keep the cage after the "event", just to show how tacky and delusional the malignant narcissus has become...

A cage-fighting arena is just what Trump’s White House lawn needed. I have a suggestion on how to use it | Marina Hyde
The president’s new Craposseum is the perfect venue for Vance, Hegseth and others to battle for favour. Fight, fight, fight indeed, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde
