Bread and circuses?
Maintaining his usual level of classiness, natch.
Have they worked out the details of illegals fighting each other and the winner gets to stay? They could take a page from Idi Amin.
From the USA Today link:
25,000 UFC fans whooping it up on the White House lawn. Yeah, can’t see any problems with that.
I’m guessing he doesn’t realize it’s not “classy” the way high profile boxing matches in Vegas or Atlantic City can attract real celebrities to show up.
I wonder if they’ll catch him on camera complaining about low class riff-raff and being unable to get anybody decent to spectate.
Don’t be ridiculous. They would never give people bread.
Also, right after opening his new Florida concentration camp, he has started using anti-Semitic slurs in speeches. “Shylock bankers” anyone…?

This is just a day or so after Tommy Tuberville said, '‘President Trump can do anything he wants when it comes to the federal. Again, these inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt.’
While Alabama relates this to post-civil war hate speech against blacks, it is also notable that it was used by Goebbels in propaganda against Jews in NAZI Germany.
Saying the quiet part outloud indeed.
UFC? I’m all for it if they put Trump in that cage.
How long until he has people fighting to the death? Think of the ratings!
I think that fishing for crab is out of season…
He comes with his own crabs.
‘What’s antisemitic about Shylock? All I’m saying is the Jews are really good with money!’

Trump wouldn’t piss on anyone from his MAGA base if they were on fire in front of him. It’s not like they can get into Mar-a-Lago, so why would he let them inside the WH fence? It’s a publicity stunt to stoke the UFC fans in his base and I can see Trump claiming as the date draws near that the Secret Service won’t allow it. I guess they could hold it on the Mall.
Capital One Arena, where the Wizards and Capitals play in downtown DC, holds around 20,000. The stands for 25,000 would be pretty big and have to surround a ring much smaller than a bball court or hockey rink.
Among the other stupid shit Trump was spewing at the Iowa rally was the notion of estate taxes and how nobody will have to pay them. Well, nobody who leaves behind less than $14M pays estate tax now, so I really doubt that any of the yokels who attend his rallies have anything to worry about. He also lied about no taxes on Social Security. Total bullshit and not in the bill. We will continue to pay just like we always have. Also, his claim about no taxes on tips and overtime; not quite the truth. There will be no taxes on PART of the tips and OT, up to a certain dollar amount.
And then there was his blathering on about climate change and how there will be all this new beach property, and “how can they predict what will happen in 150 years when they can’t predict if it will rain tomorrow?”
I can just see the Secret Service trying to figure out the logistics of vetting/controlling 25,000 UFC fans. Or ICE planning a raid there.
I saw a YouTube clip recently where some MAGA idiot was talking about these new beachfront properties that would be created by global warming like they were going to be in addition to existing beachfront properties. Win! The commentator pointed out that, um, this would mean the existing beachfront properties in those locations would then be underwater.
'Under water houses would be COOL! My wife keeps telling me we’re under water with our moregage so thank God for Trump! USA!, USA!, USA!1

In extremely simple terms (that even a drooling Trumpist can understand) let me please explain what dasmoocher is saying.
Lets say you have a cone ( or a hemisphere ) that is flat side down in a tub of water. The water is at level X on average and the diameter of the waterline is B.
Now, add water to the tub. You will notice that the water level rises on the cone/hemisphere. As the water level rises, the diameter of the waterline shrinks to A so there is in reality less of the cone/hemisphere above the water.
This means that there is less beach front property, no matter what that lying orange sonofabitch says.
I now return you to an educated liberal level of conversation.
Heh. This was decades ago, and some folks where talking about the fish they had caught. A co-worker stepped up said - “The only thing I’ve every caught was crabs”
No, just no. can’t… say it…
Yeah, but it’s new beachfront property! It’s similar in some sense to Lex Luthor’s plot in Superman: The Movie. Think about it; by not doing anything to stop global warming and actively doing things to increase it, like axing clean energy subsidies and promoting fossil fuel production/consumption, Trump is actually creating real-estate investment opportunities! That’s good for the economy, right?
