The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event planned for this weekend at the White House in honor of Donald Trump’s 80th birthday may wind up being canceled by a federal judge, but if it does indeed take place, one tiny detail in the fine print of a legal filing suggests that children will be involved in the fight, even “filmed” with the fighters as they prepare to enter the ring, HuffPost reports.
“According to a declaration filed in court Wednesday by Marisa Richardson, chief of the National Mall and Memorial Parks Division of Permits Management, the UFC intends to have ‘each participant in the UFC event (i.e. fighters) enter the Lincoln Memorial chamber via elevator from a lower level, each accompanied by a child.'”
“Each fighter and accompanying child will be filmed walking through the chamber and descending the steps to the press conference area,” Richardson said.
It remains unclear who the children are or why they will be part of what could wind up being incredibly blood and violent fights. And why do they need to be filmed?
What makes the use of children for the UFC soiree even creepier is Trump’s own connections to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of abusing children and was awaiting trial on charges when he was found dead in 2019 at a federal prison controlled by Trump’s Department of Justice.
Here’s hoping the courts or bad weather will put a damper on Donnie’s big event. He deserves a giant dose of karma.
