On 14 June, the US celebrated its 250th anniversary with a UFC match organised by Donald Trump/ While this was a notably high-energy event, it clearly wasn’t high-energy-enough for Sleepy Don:

Trump corruption celebration

This is how the America 250 event described itself:

On July 4, 2026, our nation will commemorate and celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond.

As you’ll see, there wasn’t much ‘honourable reflection’ going on.

America 250 was a real ‘who’s who’ of ‘who’s in Trump’s rolodex’:

This isn't a celebration of America 250. This is corruption on full display on the White House lawn:

➡️ Trump owns shares in both UFC and Paramount

➡️UFC CEO Dana White donated $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC

➡️ One of the event's sponsors donated $35 million to MAGA, Inc. https://t.co/HBDtmfRDXD

Over the past few days, Americans have been posting pictures of the Anniversary preparations in disbelief:

On the one hand, Donald Trump has definitely pushed what’s considered to be ‘normal’ presidential behaviour:

One day I hope MAGA supporters can ADMIT if Barack Hussien Obama had done anything remotely close to this, we’d still be hearing about it today pic.twitter.com/IbEyLGGGtP

On the other, this circus is more in keeping with how the rest of the world views America.

The US is a violent and vulgar nation that gets off on its own displays of power. Speaking of which:

They have turned the Lincoln Memorial into white fucking trash https://t.co/jWOyjRGkHW

— Jamie Bonkiewicz (@JamieBonkiewicz) June 13, 2026

Goodness gracious, imagine an act of violence being committed in the United States of America!? Well I never, etc.

At the event itself, Trump and UFC CEO Dana White walked out of the Oval Office as part of their big entrance:

this is so white trash i'm sorry https://t.co/NV5oz38BB3

— Keith Edwards (@keithedwards) June 15, 2026

Trump already looked exhausted at this point. This isn’t that surprising, of course, because Trump is a very old man, and he holds what should be one of the most stressful jobs in the world. The fact that he’s awake for even part of the day is impressive.

None of this is to compliment to him, by the way. Really, we’re arguing that America should stop simply electing the oldest man who’s willing to run.

Crypto Land

The event itself included advertisements for Trump’s crypto coin:

The President of the United States is promoting his own crypto coin at a UFC fight being held in front of the White House. That is a real sentence. What are we doing. https://t.co/rHjut2wVks

If you’re considering investing in Trump Coin, we suggest you consult with a financial adviser:

The TRUMP meme coin generated about $616 million for the Trump family, while buyers lost more than $700 million, according to Reuters' estimates.

The coin has dropped 97% from its January 2025 peak

Surprise! https://t.co/2qBAw5tMQ0

Of course, if you fought at the event, you didn’t really have a choice:

If you’re feeling sorry for the fighters, be aware that you shouldn’t feel sorry for all of them:

🚨OMG. A fighter just declared “Michelle Obama is a man” on the White House lawn as Joe Rogan chuckles.

Tonight is a DISGRACE to our country, not a celebration. pic.twitter.com/VdtMtA5UKa

Here’s the same guy a day beforehand stumbling around drunk and spitting up on himself:

This disgusting, ugly sub-human had the audacity to call Michelle Obama a man at the UFC Freedom 250 shit fest. pic.twitter.com/4wNaKVB3G4

You ready to start chanting “USA! USA!” yet?

Donald Trump wasn’t the only Trump generating controversy, anyway. His son Eric was exposed by a UFC fighter for asking if any of the fights were ‘rigged’:

BREAKING: Eric Trump BUSTED for trying to rig a UFC bet at the White House over DMs 💀 pic.twitter.com/Ba7PWgH2NQ

— Right Wing Cope (@RightWingCope) June 14, 2026

Imagine having so much going for you and still relying on skullduggery to get ahead.

This is America

Americans need to understand something: the US isn’t a nation of violence and scammery because Trump is president – it’s the reverse. He is not the poison itself but the poison being drawn to the surface. And although you can vote him out in 2028, you’re only going to end up with someone far, far worse if you don’t address the underlying disparity which allows men like Trump to thrive.
