President Donald Trump says he plans to build a 100,000-seat stadium near the White House to host a UFC fight on his birthday.
The president confirmed the MMA event last year, although his critics have branded the plan to build an arena for the event as Kim Jong Un-level insanity. They are going to put up something thats really amazing, Trump told reporters. It's really having to do with our great 250th birthday, where were having so many wonderful things.
UFCs coming, as you know, in front of the White House, where theyre building, literally, a stadium. Were gonna have over 100,000 people. This is gonna have a lot of
I wont even say how many people because I think it can set a record for racing. Its gonna be very, very important.
Trump made the announcement while holding a meeting in the Oval Office about his executive order to bring an IndyCar street race to the capital. However, Trumps critics have slammed the plans to build the 100,000-seat arena. Do the American people have a say? Who is paying for this? one X user asked. That is what America needs, another user wrote on X. Right now. No Epstein. No war. No dying service members. Lets talk ballroom. This is Kim Jong Un-level insanity, author John Pavlovitz wrote on X.

Today is March 6. Such a thing would need to be constructed in 3 months. Serious psychosis here.

with the seating capacity of Michigans Big House, Tiger Stadium at LSU, or Bryant Denny Stadium at Alabama in 3 months. Anywhere, let alone near the White House.

"Near the White House" means the Ellipse?
A UFC Fight to celebrate the Nation's birth. So very tacky...

(7,888 posts)Build it. Build it fast. To hell with rules and safety regulations, just get that sucker up. Plaster it with shitty fake gold if it'll make you happy. Then pile in there with all of your ass kissers and croak together when it crumbles down on top of you.
Happy last birthday, MOFO.

(7,813 posts)and the enduring power of their rule.
1. Massive building and roadwork projects during the Nazi regime in Germany.
Second Reich, 1 thousand year rule and all that.
2. Egyptian pharaohs and their pyramids.
3. Massive building projects in various Russian Soviet satellite countries during the time of Soviet rule.
4. Ancient Roman Empire buildings and roads in the UK.
5. North Vietnam and huge statues of past and present leaders.
And now, Trump, his Arch and statue projects, White House ballroom, 100,000 seat auditorium.

(54,988 posts)The 1st NO KINGS protest was the biggest in US history, beating the May 2025 Hands Off Protest and inspired the 2nd NO KINGS in Oct 2025.
Here we are 1 year later and we are having a 3rd NO KINGS Protest on March 28. 2026. It is already surpassing the others as far as numbers go.
I am sick of protesting when the same shit continues. We must do something since I do NOT look forward to more and more when nothing changes.
Maybe we should look at this picture and change tactics.

Where does he propose to put this monstrosity? On the Mall? Knock down the Washington Monument?
