The irony is almost unbelievable.

For years, some conservatives warned that Obama would turn the White House into a celebrity playground, politicize every institution, and treat it like his personal brand.

He didn’t.

Now there’s a UFC event on the White House grounds, corporate sponsorships everywhere, and a cage fight being used as a presidential spectacle.

Trump did to the White House what his critics feared.

The joke wrote itself.
