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.
BREAKING: CBS refused to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas, after being intimidated by Trump’s FCC rules.
Trump is worried that democrats are about to flip Texas.
SHARE EVERYWHERE!!
None of you hated NATO until Trump told you to
None of you wanted Greenland until Trump threw a tantrum
None of you thought tariffs were a good idea until Trump shoved them down your throats.
You are letting the dumbest man alive do all your thinking for you
Charlie Kirk was killed by a rando and no high profile democrat supported it.
Renee Good was killed by the government and every high profile republican supported it.
🚨 COMEDIAN CONNECTS THE DOTS ON ERICA KIRK - AND PEOPLE ARE DONE CALLING IT A COINCIDENCE
A stand up comic just laid out a chronological breakdown involving Erica Kirk that has people replaying the tape twice. Not accusations - a timeline.
According to the comic, Erica knew Donald Trump before she ever met Charlie Kirk, even winning a Trump affiliated Miss Arizona pageant. That part’s on record.
He then points to her family background - parents tied to military-intelligence circles, with her father allegedly involved in international weapons deals through Raytheon. The comic frames this as context, not proof - but context people rarely hear.
Then comes Romania.
He claims Erica was involved in running an orphanage that was later permanently shut down after reports of children going missing - serious enough that Romania allegedly issued a permanent ban. He notes this all unfolded during the same era Epstein was still active globally.
Now the relationship timeline.
Charlie Kirk didn’t meet her on a dating app. She walked into Turning Point USA for a job interview. He later said he “fell in love immediately.”
Four years later, Charlie is dead.
Erica inherits control of the organization.
Podcast appearances follow shortly after.
His closing frame stuck with the crowd:
“How it started wasn’t romance - it was a job interview.
How it ended wasn’t love - it was a promotion.”
So what part of this are people still calling a coincidence - and why?
