Trump threatens to keep the UFC construction up permanently -- like the Eiffel Tower.

[allegorical oracle]

President Donald Trump on Tuesday compared the structure being built on the South Lawn of the White House for this month’s UFC fight to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

And he thinks it might have a similar fate.

Speaking in a TikTok video, the president said the Eiffel Tower was a temporary structure set up for the 1889 Paris Exposition.
“It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the world’s fair,” he said. “Well, they never took it down.”

[2naSalit]

3. Every...

Fucking eyesore piece of shit he disgraces the capitol city with shall be dismantled immediately upon his leaving. And he WILL leave one way or another. Apparently he prefers the hard way every time.

[OldBaldy1701E]

14. Not just that.

As far as I am concerned, we need to force him and his companies to clean it all up. Any one who was in on the deals that this regime has made should also be held accountable for insider business practices and illegal manipulations of the markets. (Hey, they love to complain about this all the time anyway, so use it against them.)

Also, we need to let him know that everything has to be put back just like it was, or even more time will be added to his life sentence. (He won't understand what that means, but adding any kind of punishment will just set him off even more.) If there is no 'means' for his companies to do it, then he himself has to get out there with a crowbar and a sledge. He made the mess, he can clean it up.

Just like my mother told me every time I made one.

[allegorical oracle]

64. So agree. It's taking a lot of time to install this monstrosity. He knows it's going to be

costly to tear it down and cart it away.

[calimary]

67. And when they cart it away,

It could go to Mar-a-Lago, and dumped right in front.

(That way, he gets to keep it!)

[Farmer-Rick]

70. Add a couple junk cars

And a few rusted trailer homes and you got pedo Trump's perfect environment. But only if it's all painted gold.

[sop]

4. Many Frenchmen will come to see it, miniatures of the 'Trump UFC Cage' will be sold for $250 in the WH Gift Shop.

[rubbersole]

15. Funny!

[Goonch]

5. ;-{)......

[PatSeg]

41. More and more

Trump's White House is looking like President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho's White House, except Camacho wasn't a raging narcissist bent on destroying the world.

[sop]

76. Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise from 'Back to the Future'

[PatSeg]

80. The world has become one big satirical movie

Biff was supposed to be an exaggeration, but Trump has become an exaggeration of both Biff and Camacho.

[sop]

81. I fully expect Trump will climb into the ring for a carefully staged beatdown of one of the UFC fighters.

Idiocracy indeed.

[PatSeg]

82. And you just know

that he'd love to do it if he was physically able.

[Thunderbeast]

89. Watch for an AI creation featuring UFC Trump beating down Jimmy Kimmel

[PatSeg]

90. Oh yes, of course

Sounds like something he would do.

[allegorical oracle]

84. Read that djt said the venue will seat more than 4,500. Seems like somebody will be

conducting a slew of background checks. Afterall, a potential assassin even showed up at the WH Correspondents' Dinner -- a room full of journalists, not UFC fans.

[malaise]

6. It's not his effin property

That is all

[Initech]

60. I've got a great idea for my sign for the next protest:

"DONALD TRUMP DID TO THE WHITE HOUSE WHAT OSAMA BIN LADEN ONLY TRIED TO"

And show the before and after pictures.

[malaise]

61. Great idea

Rec

[sop]

87. Trump should set up his UFC Cage Claw on the front lawn at Mar-a-Lago, let his paying guests enjoy the spectacle.

He won't because that's his property, and he doesn't want to trash it. He's turned the White House into a tacky shit hole, much like he has the rest of the country. His goal is to destroy America.

[malaise]

88. Nailed it

In his twisted mind, he is the only consequential ruler in history.
I’m not sure megalomaniac quite described this self absorbed buffoon.

[littlemissmartypants]

7. Baby man says what?

FDT

[homegirl]

62. Someone MUST teach Donald to use GOOGLE!

The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution. Designed by Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier and spearheaded by Gustave Eiffel, it was initially intended to stand for 20 years before being dismantled. It was saved from demolition after proving its value as a massive radio telegraph station.

9. anything he does is schlok. it can all be undone, some easy some expensive, but all undone. nt

[thesquanderer]

31. Except for the damage to our international reputation. I'm not sure that will ever be completely undone. (n/t)

[Javaman]

75. I was talk about the purely aesthetic.

regarding our position in the world? naaa, we're fucked for the long term

[GiqueCee]

10. Oh my...

... the Orange Gargoyle actually uttered something true.
The Eiffel Tower was scheduled for demolition in 1910, but it was proven to be too valuable a resource, both for science and critical military functions. A claim that Trump's repulsive abortion cannot make. May it collapse and fall on his head.

[Trueblue Texan]

11. For all his supposed wealth...

...he is the trashiest, tackiest tenant ever! He doesn't pay his bills; his yard looks like a dump; he takes classic interior and exterior decor and cheapens them with flashy, fake, CHEAP crap. He starts deconstruction projects on the property before he has any idea about how to get clearance to proceed with construction--just tears shit up and leave it that way; Everywhere he goes, he leaves a huge mess. Cleaning up after him is impossible while he is still in residence. Who would want someone like that as a neighbor, much less a president? EVICT him! That may actually be more attainable than impeachment.

[mwmisses4289]

12. There are plenty of super wealthy people who prove that just because you have money, doesn't mean you have style

or taste or elegance or whatever you want to call it.

[rubbersole]

16. Class.

tsf has class. Third.

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

24. Heard!

34. Nailed it

[Seinan Sensei]

44. I think I saw where the Presidential Limousine

… is up on concrete blocks in the backyard of the White House

[pansypoo53219]

58. white trash to the bone.

[purr-rat beauty]

13. Sounds like squatting to me

And damage to a Federal building

What did he say....10 years?

[chowder66]

17. Charge him for cleaning up his crap.

[Trueblue Texan]

66. My town would charge him with code violations...

...which is a nice way of saying, "mow your damn grass and clean the place up!"

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Maybe the next president can dismantle it ...

... and send the pieces to the Trump Presidential Lie-berry.

It'll look good next to an inoperable jumbo jet.

[Dave Id]

20. New York City wouldn't let Trump build this bullshit

so that now he's 'king of America', he can destroy and or build anything he wants to. He seems believe he own the White House and surrounding property. He's MAGAts do also.

[Dave Id]

21. The Donald J Trump

Awful Tower

[Ol Janx Spirit]

22. Are they going to add something like the Madame Brasserie restaurant and...

...The Champagne Bar on the arched monstrosity so we can at least savor a flute of champagne as we take in the views of the Fuhrerbunker and the Arc de Shitforbrains from its lofty perch above our once beloved Whitetrashington?

Or, are we descending into something more like Roman times with a permanent fight cage to entertain the people?

Will there be a Vance vs. Rubio pay-per-view slap fight? I might watch that.



I wonder how much they will charge for people to get married under its soon-to-be iconic profile?

[thesquanderer]

30. He'll have a Madam Brassiere restaurant, colloquially known as the Stormy Daniels. (n/t)

[Ol Janx Spirit]

38. Ha!

[Seinan Sensei]

53. Markwayne Mullen was an MMA fighter

Well sort of.
MW had three MMA matches.
Two of them against the same guy.

I think Markwayne should get in the Octagon with Sean O’Brien, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
You remember Sean O’Brien.
Markwayne went full-blown Poser (“stand your butt up!”) on Sean during a congressional hearing.

Which is to say, that if they ever did put on the gloves, I’d have all my money on the Teamster.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

72. Oh yeah! It was childish for a congressional hearing, but would fit right in...

...with whatever the fresh hell is that we are living through with this "fight" on the White House lawn.

I would watch that fight though. Even if MW won the fight there might be some bad things happening to him later on....

[twodogsbarking]

23. It can easily be converted to a funeral tent.

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. I like positive thinking 🤔

[lark]

25. Boo Hiss - no Snedley Whiplash you don't get to keep that desecration

No way in hell!!

[bif]

26. Another tRump eyesore

Just what we need.

[Blues Heron]

27. Arrest the President

[Historic NY]

28. Imagine have to fly Marine 1 around the flag poles and then this.

I hear the participants are having second thoughts about this outside arena

[Ol Janx Spirit]

39. If karma exists it will rain so hard the reflecting pool actually fills up.... n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

29. It'll need a marquee commensurate with Rump's sophistication and taste.

Something like

THIS SUNDAY: ALL-AMERICAN MONSTER TRUCK RACES!

Mud Wrassiln' Every Tuesday and Friday

[Grim Chieftain]

32. Every single day we awake to another Trump atrocity

He is destroying everything he touches and everything we hold dear. For the love of all sanity, will this ever end?

[mercuryblues]

33. In other words

He is building his own gallows. I'm OK with that

[Happy Hoosier]

35. Called it. NT

[Martin68]

36. The demented geezer has given up on Iran and the economy. Now he's just trolling the citizenry and exacting revenge on

all his enemies, both perceived and real.

[3catwoman3]

37. The Russians he so admires have a word for someone as classless...

...as Trump - nekulturny. It means uncultured or uncivilized, and from various sources I've read, is considered a serious insult and conveys great disdain.

[electric_blue68]

73. Ah, TY... also...

Accordding to google:

rude, boorish, discourteous, unmannered, ignorant, uncultured.

All, amongst other things describe drumphf perfectly!

[3catwoman3]

74. My own alliterative favorite string of adjectives...

…is - coarse, crass, common, crude, and contemptible.

[electric_blue68]

83. Heh. Good set of words.

[Rob H.]

40. He's obsessed with enshittifying everything he can get his stubby fingers on

It's enraging that he keeps doing these things to properties he doesn't own and won't have to pay anything to restore any of them.

[PatSeg]

42. "Enshittifying"!!!

[Rob H.]

43. I wish I could claim credit for that word

I don't remember where I first saw it, but it sums up what he's doing perfectly.

[PatSeg]

50. It is getting so hard to find good words

to describe him and his presidency these days, so we have to makeup new ones. I think the Scots take the prize for the absolute best though.

[Happy Hoosier]

52. Cory Doctorow coined the term. NT

[whopis01]

56. Cory Doctorow I believe

https://craphound.com/

[allegorical oracle]

65. Like Rick Wilson said..."Everything he touches turns to shit," eh? Our WH, now. nt

[Bluetus]

45. Eiffel Tower? More like one of those popup gypsy amusement rides

that sprout overnight in whatever dilapidated, abandoned 1970s shopping mall parking lot is available. We should be running a crowdfunding campaign taking pledges for tearing down each of Trump's edifices with the proceeds going to charity. Trump needs to see millions of dollars of pledges for each thing:

- every grand banner with his hideous orange mug. I'd pledge $25 to be in a raffle to be the one to tear down the banner at DoJ or the Pentagon.
- I'd pledge $100 to be in a lottery to be the one who pushes the button to bring toen the ballroon or the Great Gate of Trump

And so on. I'm 100% serious about this.if the DNC wants my money, THIS is the sort of aggressive messaging they should be pushing.

[Mr.Bee]

46. Well Then,

I think he should go all out and add a roller coaster and a Ferris wheel!

[Liberal In Texas]

47. I've been predicting this.

He's building his own little empire in DC.
Anybody think he will leave willingly at the end of his term?

[Crowman2009]

48. I hope it gets demolished by a wrecking ball named Dark Brandon.

[paleotn]

49. It gets blown up as soon as you die or leave office, you jackass.

Preferably with him strapped to it. Live or stinking carcass. Makes no difference. Go one better than what Charles II did to Oliver Cromwell. For similar reasons. Revenge can be so sweet!

[GoCubsGo]

79. It will probably fall down on its own long before that.

I'm sure that, like everything else Trump builds, this thing was poorly-constructed, using cheap materials. Just have to hope he and his bootlickers are underneath it when it collapses.

[MissouriDem47]

51. For the Trump Administration

Leaving that nonsense on the White House grounds would be appropriate as it is a true reflection of their priorities.

[Martin Eden]

55. Keep it up, A$$HOLE; your comeuppance is coming.

Perhaps not swiftly, but justice -- legal or cosmic -- will be done.

[Raven123]

57. Nope. He can't. Just more Trump Bluster

[Initech]

59. The next administration must restore the White House to its' former glory!

And make it so no jackass with a wrecking ball can do as much damage as the fucking asshole has done.

[allegorical oracle]

86. Hope so. The view of the WH south portico is one of the nicest and now it's

blocked off. So far, he's ruined the East side (rose garden/ballroom) and now the south side. He's got two more sides to go.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

63. "Piggy threatens..."

Ooooh! Scary!

He's barely coherent. A worm is more threatening than that slovenly sack of crap.

[PJMcK]

68. Classy

I heard Trump’s Oval Office re-decorating called Temu Bukake.

Trump is a low-life slob.

[EarthFirst]

69. See; this is how he consistently maintains media dominance...

…by just saying the most ridiculous outlandish things; and the media runs with it every time.

Just “Sure Jan…” and allow it fester in silent irrelevance.

[eppur_se_muova]

71. He'll likely retrofit it for some other spectator sport ....

[no_hypocrisy]

77. More like The Colleseum

[Walleye]

78. How long does he think permanently is. I make it two years or less.

[jmowreader]

85. I can think of one itty-bitty problem

It belongs to UFC and they want it back after the event.
