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.

True.
Yes.
He just does this on purpose to rile up people. He isn;t going to really leave that up.
Did he get socked in the head by a UFC fighter?
Could be he’s doing what Rush loved to do: using absurdity to illustrate the truly absurd, the truly absurd here being the libs’ insane opposition to the Trump Ballroom.
Another great example of that abusurdity trick is Sidney Sweeney’s “transitioning” into a dog to show how truly absurd the whole tranny idea of “transitioning” from one’s real sex to another is.
You don’t seem to understand Trump’s sense of humor. He’s joking...
Then you’ve confirmed he’s trolling the Stupid.
Anyone who doesn’t see this as a Trump trolling event is pretty damn dumb.
Remember that in all media the FIRST priority above all else is to make the reader hate Trump.
If whatever media you’re looking at does not do this the major companies that control everything you see and hear (Disney, Viacom, Amazon, alphabet, Meta,et al) will make it hard to access that media.
It’s clear that he’s trolling people. No one is getting to let a wrestling arena sit in front of the white house.

He should double-down on his trolling to keep the arena and say that in August they’ll be erecting an 1950s trailer park next to it.
(Not disparaging mobile home living. I lived in a 10x48 for a few years.)
Yesterday he was telling us how the Eiffel Tower started as a temporary display for the 1889 World's Fair. He wasn't kidding.
Same guy who wants a massive triumph arch to commemorate a non-existant victory and did this to the Oval Office:
😆 the art of the troll.
This is master class level trolling.
Hell yes I voted for this and it’s better than I expected ! 😁
I am with you.
Little z should NEVER have been there. They should have met in some other venue.
Looks like a Stargate.
when you host various dignitaries from the middle east, ‘shabby sheik’ just looks like a trailer park trash to them.
Just what I was thinking, lol.
This is in a long line of talking absolute smack towards his base, reneging on campaign promises and his pure obliviousness on how some of the crap he says sounds to joe smoe out there. Iran is a disaster. Stating high oil prices are good for americans is ignorant at best and pure callousness at worse. The economy is an absolute disaster, he is talking about letting more chinese in on student visas, making deals with iran that never materialize, calling those who wanted hillary locked up loons and mocking them on a podcast. Wasting supposedly 33% of our hard to stock military arms on as of right now, bombing iran with absolutely no observable results. We have been hearing for like 20 years Iran is 12 months away from nukes.
Flat out we here in years prior, would have destroyed obama or biden if/when they did any of this, but because DJT did it, we are supposed to shut up and take the gruel?
If you can’t tell when Trump is trolling the media and the RATS, then you’re not MAGA.
Do you have TDS? He’s joking.
