Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Understand the chronology —

> Donald Trump was facing the worst ratings of his lifetime

> Iran war backfired, gas prices surged, higher cost of living, nothing going right for Trump

> Suddenly Trump decided to go to White House Correspondents’ Dinner

> A shooter came out of nowhere in the world’s most secure zone and fired shots RANDOMLY (Confirmed by eye witnesses) 😄

> The shooter is shot dead, no trace left whatsoever

Suddenly Trump is due to get sympathy, he will be treated like a warrior fighting against satan...

Why have we all heard this script somewhere before? 😂

@AAnon55 Sounds like you’re getting underpaid. If someone on benefits is making more money off of benefits than you, you’re being underpaid and gaslit into thinking the people on welfare are the problem

Hot take but this is a wildly effective form of protest because there’s no way you can claim the unicorn suit person who is twerking is a violent revolutionary who needs to be pepper sprayed and not look insane

🚨BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene just confirmed what we have all known to be true, the GOP-controlled Senate used the nuclear option to override the 60-vote rule and confirm over 100 Trump nominees.

But here’s the kicker: they’re refusing to use the same rule to end the shutdown—proving they can but won’t.

They’re keeping the government closed on purpose.

A liberal judge just had her home mysteriously set ablaze.

A Charlie Kirk fan just ran over two girls.

A Trump supporter set a Mormon Church on fire and then went on a shooting spree inside.
