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.

Do you subconsciously wish you were???
I bet Jesus likes President Trump.
Even Louis XIV would find that a bit showy.
Maybe he and SoW could tag team the Ayatollah Supreme and IRGC Commander as part of the Great Iran Deal!
“...the DemonRats drop their opposition to the Great New Ballroom.”
You are full of wishful thinking. They RATS won’t drop anything until they win and it can be ignored to be used later. Modus operandi. I appreciate your willingness to make the deal, but they have never been unless they make the rules.
