White House Goes Full Circus as Trump Bets on UFC Birthday Bash
Trump is turning the White House into a major event venue for a June 14 UFC Freedom 250 birthday celebration, with cranes assembling a massive arch and a $400 million ballroom makeover underway, while UFC costs reportedly exceed $60 million. The spectacle, intended to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary and the president’s 80th, has critics arguing it’s a tacky, costly distraction and an eyesore amid ongoing renovations.
