Only One President Could Come Up With This Spectacle​

At the Sesquicentennial in 1926, President Calvin Coolidge delivered a speech in Philadelphia on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence. “At the end of 150 years,” said Coolidge, “the four corners of the earth unite in coming to Philadelphia as to a holy shrine in grateful acknowledgment of a service so great, which a few inspired men here rendered to humanity, that it is still the pre-eminent support of free government throughout the world.”

And on July 4, 1976, for the Bicentennial, President Gerald Ford traveled to key sites of the American Revolution — Valley Forge, Philadelphia and New York City — before returning to the White House for a final public celebration. While at Independence Hall, he also delivered a nationally televised address in which he called on the country to continue the work of the founders: “Liberty is for all men and women as a matter of equal and unalienable right. The establishment of justice and peace abroad will in large measure depend upon the peace and justice we create here in our own country, where we still show the way.”

In each celebration, we see how presidents treat the moment as a chance to exercise national leadership — to lead the American people in a collective appreciation of the nation’s highest values. None of them — not Adams, not Grant, not Coolidge, not Ford — turned the spotlight on themselves.

Could there be a more stark contrast with the way things have been done in the past and the era of trump? Celebrations of liberty and the country's founding document being replaced with a pugilistic display reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum. Civility and a sense of common purpose being replaced by violence.

But there's something else that makes this upcoming event quintessentially trumpian. Turning a national celebration in to a commercial enterprise.

How Trump and his allies could profit from the UFC fight at the White House​

The president bought stock in UFC’s parent company before announcing the fight, designed branded medallions for sale and is holding a $1 million-per-plate fundraiser the night before.

And you dedicate threads to him where your echo chamber buddies come to cry and cuddle.

It's a pretty appalling misuse of his office whether you like how much it irritates his foes and people you dont like or not. There is room to call it what it is: a failed administration that has a few policies you like but is overall full of grifting kleptocrats and mortifyingly poor etiquette without any appearance of true patriotism for the nation.

Nope

Cause you’re a welfare lib hypocrite

It takes a special kind of genius to get people to be excited about being conned.

But behind the public spectacle are concerns about personal profit — and that President Donald Trump and his allies are positioned to benefit financially from the power of the presidency.

Trump purchased tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of stock in UFC’s parent company while promoting the event, according to a May financial disclosure. He’s holding a $1 million-per-plate fundraiser for his top super PAC the night before the cage match. And Trump “officially designed” a line of “Trump x UFC Freedom 250” medallions, which are selling for $250 to $12,000.

Those are just three of the ways the president stands to benefit from Sunday’s UFC event at the White House, which marks the president’s 80th birthday.

Perhaps trump will be seen singing "Happy Birthday to me."

He has a hole in his soul he's trying to fill with the rube's cash.

“This is a real distillation of this administration, which is to take public property and use it for private benefit,” said Brendan Ballou, a former Justice Department prosecutor who represented the plaintiffs who lost a court battle to stop the fight. “The danger in having corruption normalized is it will fundamentally tell the very rich and powerful that they are beyond reach of the law — and that message will extend beyond this administration.”

We can always depend on Trump being self-serving first, while the flock believes it's about them.

Yeah, that is a genius in its way. He's a con man to his very core. It's organic with him.

Well, he's been one his whole life. He's hard wired to think of everyone as a potential mark and everything as an opportunity for personal profit.

Cage Match at the Epstein Dome! What could be more American than that?

The average investor is up 9% this year under this great man. I don't know why this stuff is a mystery for you people, especially you who claims to be a financial expert.

 

[Mashmont]

Well, he's been one his whole life. He's hard wired to think of everyone as a potential mark and everything as an opportunity for personal profit.

The average investor is up 9% in 2026, so I don't understand how this is a con. Could you explain?

Failed policies? The average investor is up 9% for the year. You claim to be an investor. Are you not up 9%?
