President Donald Trump is floating the possibility of keeping the UFC arena on the White House South Lawn -- built for a series of fights on his birthday and Flag Day -- permanently.
In a video posted to his official TikTok account Tuesday evening, Trump sat in the Oval Office and said that the Eiffel Tower in Paris was supposed to be a temporary structure, but that France kept it up -- suggesting that the UFC arena is "quite attractive to a lot of people" so "maybe we'll never ever take it down."
"People don't know that in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower, 1889 it was built. It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the world's fair, and then they said: 'leave it up a little bit longer, and then they said, 'let's leave it up longer and longer and longer,'" Trump said in the video.
"Well, they never took it down, and you know we're building something in front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people. Really, it's going to have the big UFC fight on June 14, and I'm looking at it and maybe we'll never ever take it down," Trump added.

Leave it up permanently? He has to be nuts.
He’s trolling the libs who are fussing non-stop about it.
Cankles and Weiner. Cage match.
He’s trolling losers...
He’s just trying to get a rise out of you. It worked!
Keep it and have girls fighting girls. No men beating up women anymore please.
He doesn’t need friends like you.
DC visitors will be able to fight each other!
This is cool!
“Leave it up permanently? He has to be nuts.”
He’s pulling peoples’ strings again. And they are dancing with it.

He is trolling the Democrats and you fell for it which outs you as a DEMOCRAT.
Topless mud wrestling!!!
LMAO
anyone who takes that seriously has TDS for sure!
But then again...Obama's Basketball Court lives...
Get a clue. It could not be a more obvious troll.
It’s funny how easily he can troll people into falling for these things...
You are incorrect. I am not a Democrat.
Also maybe a deal. Trump removes the ring from the front of the WH and the DemonRats drop their opposition to the Great New Ballroom.
😆 You don’t realize he’s trolling you??? Seriesly?
