This is who is financially benefitting from Trump's tacky UFC wrestling games on the grounds of the White House this weekend:
Organizations financially benefiting from the White House UFC spectacle span corporate sponsors, digital media platforms, and political action committees:

*********************************
Look at all the organizations making huge profits (including the Trump family) off this spectacle on the grounds of the People's House -- OUR House that we, the people, support with our taxes.
Are any of you going to get some of that filthy lucre?
No, of course not.
But!
At least Trump didn't misstate what he was doing on our taxpayer-paid federal grounds! And he'll probably not wear a tan suit that day either, so it won't be written up by the media, so it's all good.
I mean, who didn't dream of some day having a bunch of half naked, sweaty men wrassling on the White House lawn as an 80th birthday gala for a sitting POTUS or a commemoration for the 250th founding of this, our beloved country?
It was all Trump's idea; and as the kids say today, "That tracks."

Nothing, absolutely nothing surprises me anymore. What would suprize me is the Malignant Narcissist Moron in Cheif actually doing something ethical that actually benefitted the American people.
Trump is scum.
Sent to me by a friend:
1. UFC 329 is being staged on the White House lawn this Sunday night in celebration of President Donald J. Trump's 80th birthday.
2. The weigh-ins for the fights are being conducted at the Lincoln Memorial (bet you didn't know that, did ya?).
3. UFC, along with the WWE, with whom Trump has long been associated with, is owned by TKO Holdings.
4. While there will be an 85,000 seat viewing area set up on the Ellipse - that's right, eighty-five thousand - where seating is free, 5,000 seats will be set up around the actual cockfighting pit and many of those seats are selling for $1,500,000. Yes, that's right, $1.5 MILLION DOLLARS. (bet you didn't know that either)
5. Hardly a single PENNY of that potentially $7,500,000,000 will go into the coffers of the United States of America, instead going to TKO Holdings.
6. On March 25, 2026, President Donald J. Trump bought $50,000 worth of TKO Holdings' stock. (I'll bet you didn't know THAT!)
I can't wait to see what the place looks like on Monday morning .
AI:
"Yes, it is true. Financial disclosure filings revealed that an account or trust belonging to Donald Trump acquired between $15,001 and $50,000 worth of stock in TKO Group Holdings (the parent company of the UFC) on March 25, 2026."
Ms. Shaw, You were far to nice calling the event tacky. It is a huge ego push for a person who doesn't need an ego push. It is stupid and belittles the peoples house.
I can't wait for the Trump sign to go up permanently.
Just so you know... the name Trump is coming off of the Kennedy Center and historically accurate signage about our country has been ordered returned to National Park sites across the US.
Yesterday was a good day.
I know MAGA ppl will call it lawfare, but that's not what it is at all. It's called following the law. Just as it was when black people forced the US to follow our own laws and allow minorities to vote, get a good education, eat at integrated lunch counters in city drug stores and marry who they wanted.
Lawfare?
Only in the eyes of the angry MAGA mob.
David Brooks was asked if he was going to the 'fight'. He replied no - I'm going as a participant. ...and noted all the wonderous things that had gone on on the WH lawn over the last couple of centuries, but this was a remarkably gauche choice, Sen.Cornyn predicts Trump will be miserable the last two years of his Reign....er presidency.
So if the money, ALL of it, went to a "worthy" cause, the WH lawn extravaganza would be perfectly okay? I find it the perfect metaphor for American politics today. Kayfabe Capitalism.
Instead of allowing Americans to "opt out" of 24/7 capitalism, it allows Capitalists to "opt out" of 24/7 American cultural life. "UFC on the WH Lawn - brought to you by the Entertainment/Culture Industrial Complex". Kind of makes you long for Pete Seeger's folk music before Bob Dillon came along and took folk music "Electric". Kafka's Josphine the Mouse Singer gets her wish, of singing as a "full-time job".
Welcome to The Achievement Society's 24/7 Gig Economy. Better all Hustle, you're falling behind! Don't Burn-Out (Byung-Chul Han)!
The Entertainment (Culture) Industry - The Commodification of Leisure/ The Worker's Non-Work hours.
The accurate framing of the event would be "corruption and desecration".
I happen to be a Maine voter, and my position would remain consistent: with any candidate or men such as Donald Trump. Are these men good leaders but terrible husbands? . Let's face it, I'm not voting for a spouse, father in law, best friend, neighbor or Pastor. I'm voting for a leader I will most likely never meet. I don't rely on politicians to be Saints., just good leaders.
I'd love to see some consistency on this board as well. . My fellow conservatives: if Donald Trump's infidelities are no big deal to you, or at any rate, didn't prevent you from voting for him, we shouldn't be fluffing around over this guy. Who I happen to think is a terrible person. But as a Leader? Who knows? But why take that chance?. My bet is that he’s just a totally Lousy Person altogether.
Liberals, if you want to destroy President Trump because he's a terrible husband, then you should be consistent with the Nazi Lover Graham Platner.
But I'm guessing the number of Liberal, Progressive consistent posters who actually vote will be a just a handful at the very best
Maine Person,
So he's a Nazi lover for waiting too long to cover the tattoo?
OK. How else is he a Nazi or "Nazi lover"? Did he praise Hitler? Does he hate Jews and Blacks? Does he hate liberals?
A Marine who got a tattoo matching Platner's told Zeteo in June 2026 that he and Platner did not deliberately choose Nazi symbols, stating "We just got matching skull-and-crossbone tattoos that we thought looked cool."
You don't have evidence
It's interesting that it's important for you to introduce an off-topic issue in this thread just to denigrate a Democrat.
IF you really are a "Maine voter", you're clearly a Republican. Trump's marital infidelities are the least of his nefarious acts and crimes.
Nazis were all about secret police rounding up non-violent people they hate and putting them in concentration camps.
Nazis were all about prosecuting critics and opponents.
Nazis are the type who would form a violent mob to overturn an election.
That's what YOU voted for.
MAGAts certainly need a history refresher. Although, if they're Christian Nationalists they never supported democracy or our Democratic Republic to begin with. So it likely would make no difference.
I guess that it’s true, You can’t argue with Idiots
MAGA Maine Voter: Exhibit A
And you can't expect hypocrites to recognize their own faces in a social mirror, MV.
