In reply to the discussion: Trump says he plans to host UFC fight at the White House [View all]Ocelot II
(126,538 posts)48. Why doesn't he just set up a carnival side show on the WH lawn?
He's a carnival barker at heart anyhow; he'd be right at home. There could be the usual freak shows - maybe Marge Sporkfoot could show off her bleach-blonde bad-built butch-body, there could an exhibit of moral midgets, there being so many of them; Matt Gaetz' giant forehead; alligators straight out of Gator Gulag (you can an undocumented immigrant to feed them!); conjoined twins Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, a man wearing eye makeup having carnal knowledge of a Louis XIV fauteuil à la reine, the geek Stephen Miller, biting off the heads of anybody who gets too close, a greasy orange fortune teller predicting how America will be Great Again when nobody has food or health care. Step right up!

Utterly disgusting. Why not set up a coliseum for the GLADIATORs, the lions, and the bloody deaths?

What's next? Dog fighting in the newly paved over Rose Garden? Kristi Noem as the referee?

More overcompensation for what he lacks. Surprised he's not fostering Hunger Games.

Idiocracy was light relief. At least they elected a Black man, rather than the racist in reality (nt)

Why not? He's already degraded the beautiful, dignified symbol of the presidency.

If he really wants to make some money, he will sell tickets to get in the ring with cabinet members or JD

Sort of like when Andrew Jackson invited a bunch of rednecks and hooligans to a party at White House.

Maybe Lauren and Jeff Bezos can attend with their disgusting rich trash act too.

Taking tacky to whole new levels. Kind of fitting though given what he's done to the Oval Office.

Trump already hosted one at the Capitol, "Patriots" vs Police, don't you remember?
