Whether there is a fight on Trump's 80th birthday Sunday at White House or not I do have a problem if as Trump has suggested multiple times he keeps the big claw at White House.
That is not appropriate.
The whole Trump-UFC relationship like everything else is for financial benefit of Trump and family
Besides $60 million government is paying in direct costs to host event
Critics have taken issue with corporate branding at the White House. One lawsuit, seeking to halt the fight, alleges the event is “deeply corrupt.”
The challenge says brands “are clambering over each other to see their brands plastered adjacent to the Executive Residence and Reflecting Pool.”
“And the UFC’s broadcast partner, Paramount Skydance — which is run by two other Trump allies, Larry and David Ellison — has decided that no American will be able to take in this ‘celebration of America’ without first paying $8.99 plus tax for a Paramount Plus streaming subscription,” it continues.
The lawsuit also raises concerns with Trump’s decision to buy thousands of dollars of stock in TKO prior to the fight, as disclosed in the president’s financial records.
Amid concerns about the appearance of impropriety, the Trump administration is set to sign a memorandum of understanding with UFC to create a public-private partnership later Thursday.
