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 that’s really amazing,” Trump told reporters. “It's really having to do with our great 250th birthday, where we’re having so many wonderful things.

“UFC’s coming, as you know, in front of the White House, where they’re building, literally, a stadium. We’re gonna have over 100,000 people. This is gonna have a lot of…I won’t even say how many people because I think it can set a record for racing. It’s 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, Trump’s 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. Let’s talk ballroom.” “This is Kim Jong Un-level insanity,” author John Pavlovitz wrote on X.
