by not saying that which is better left unsaid is actually quite remarkable.

One of the many reasons why he is utterly unqualified for that job, and why America deserves derision and contempt from the rest of the world for giving it to him. Twice.

President Trump reveals UFC White House event will happen on his 80th birthday
If you were under the impression that the UFC White House event would be in celebration of America's 250th anniversary, that might not be entirely true.

During a speech Sunday to military personnel at Naval Station Norfolk in Virgina, President Donald Trump announced that the UFC White House event will take place Saturday, June 14, 2026 – which is also his 80th birthday. Earlier this summer, Trump said the White House would host a UFC event to commemorate 250 years of American independence, which falls three weeks later on Saturday, July 4.

UFC CEO Dana White previously has said the event would take place in June, but Trump's announcement is the first time a specific date has been revealed.

The UFC is in the early stages of planning for the White House event, with White last month releasing renderings for the "one-of-one incredible event." While it's unknown how much production will cost for the unprecedented event, White offered a glimpse last week when he told Sports Business Journal that the UFC will spend $700,000 just to replace the grass of the White House south lawn where the fights will happen.
