The DARK Connection Between Trump and UFC Revealed
The UFC’s planned “White House card” isn’t about American history, the presidency, or patriotism. It’s about Trump throwing himself a birthday party. The event lands on his actual birthday, and the timing is no coincidence. His supporters love it precisely because it celebrates him — not the country.In this clip, political commentator and fight analyst breaks down what’s really happening here. From Trump’s use of political power to reward allies, to the UFC’s willingness to turn spectacle into loyalty tests, this segment exposes the reality behind the White House fight card.We also explore the implications: could federal funds be used to subsidize the event through the America 250 initiative? How far will the UFC go to stay in Trump’s orbit? And what does this say about the merger between sports entertainment, nationalism, and political theater in 2025?This isn’t a neutral business decision. It’s a political payoff dressed as a patriotic celebration.Listen to the full conversation over on Luke’s Substack: https://lthomas.substack.com/If you appreciate clear-eyed political commentary about power, media, and the fight game, make sure to subscribe to the channel for new weekly discussions.Chapters00:00 Trump’s birthday and the “White House card”00:30 Why this event isn’t about patriotism01:00 UFC’s role in Trump’s image rehab01:45 Federal funding and the America 250 link02:20 How Trump rewards his allies03:00 The myth of the “office of the presidency” defense03:45 How the UFC benefits politically04:15 The card lineup and star power strategy05:00 Potential taxpayer costs of the event06:00 What the media keeps missing07:00 The reality behind the spectacle
