Thank You for Your Attention to This Birthday

Trump turns 80 Sunday with a $60M UFC cage on the White House lawn, telling confidants he can hear the clock ticking, as the Iran war stalls, Republicans panic over midterms, and he openly declares he does not think about Americans' financial situation.

Confidants say the Butler assassination attempt left a mortality-haunted Trump racing to grab power and glory, so he built a 92-foot UFC cage on the South Lawn, declared "I love the inflation," and handed Democrats a midterm gift wrapped in blood sport.

The UFC arena is Trump’s latest assault on the character and history of the White House, after the destruction of the East Wing and the paving of the Rose Garden. Trump joked (?) that, like the Eiffel Tower, the Claw could be a temporary building turned permanent. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Atlantic (gift link) NEW: Trump will be 80 on Sunday He will celebrate by watching watch half-naked men brutally assault each other What Trump’s party-tied to America’s 250-reveals about his presidency His focus is solely on legacy No matter the political cost www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“Although it’s unlikely that Trump will publicly dwell on his advancing age, he’s certainly not hiding from his birthday. This is all part of an in-your-face presidency, one meant to dominate and overwhelm,” @JonLemire writes. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Here's this sentence: A few of the fighters may even enter the octagon from the Oval Office.

"But Trump doesn’t care. He is simply doing what he wants, which is to be the center of all things, political consequences be damned." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“Trump, however, is building an illuminated octagon with a 92-foot-tall portable-canopy stage, known as the “Claw,” on the WH South Lawn, where he and thousands of spectators will watch half-naked men brutally assault each other. To each their own, I guess.” 🎁GIFT www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

President Trump will welcome 80 with bright lights and fighting.

80 years on, this cancer cell of a human being still hasn't found a grift he didn't like. Or someone smaller than himself that he didn't mind stepping on. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump is pretending to celebrate America's 250th, but in reality... "Trump is building an illuminated octagon...on the White House South Lawn, where he and thousands of spectators will watch half-naked men brutally assault each other." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A sticky fingered birthday bash that perfectly captures the Trump ethos. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"Perhaps it will be remembered as a testament to excess. Or maybe the fights will become a historical curiosity that’s remembered only by the fighters, their broken bones and bloodied noses souvenirs of the night they did battle in a cage outside the White House." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

May this be his final birthday. 👇🤡 Prices are high, the Iran war is not going well, Republicans are panicking over November’s midterms, & polls show that a majority of Americans believe that the president’s priorities are misplaced. But #ThatAsshole doesn’t care. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

No thanks, @jonlemire.bsky.social mire, last thing I'd do would be to watch half-naked men brutally assault each other on the White House South Lawn's "Claw” stage in celebration of a megalomaniac geriatric's birthday. #SleazyShamelessShowmanship
