President-elect Donald Trump wants to attend the UFC’s big debut at Madison Square Garden Saturday night, but the Secret Service is trying to talk him out of it, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Trump had been invited to the big event by UFC president Dana White and had expected to attend. But the Secret Service is cautioning against it due to security concerns, according to the sources...

This is the place for Donald Trump reminds America that he is his own man and not a figurehead to be moved around like a chess piece.

I would not want to see him get hurt, but in an auditorium filled with Chuck Norris wannabees that love Trump? I don’t think so!

Probably the safest place on the planet.

If he doesn’t go, he should issue a press release stating why he isn’t going. The message needs to get out about the ongoing thuggery of the left. Right now, the media are full steam ahead trying to claim that it is open season on minorities since the election, that we are seeing a wave of beatings and intimidation in the name of Trump.

Not only do I want him to go but I also want him to go center ring and issue a challenge to Joe Biden for a no-holds-barred cage match!

To quote John Candy, “That would be AWEsome!”

One main difference is the evil people of the world like Obama.

I am conflicted. As president elect, his life has changed forever and that includes going to sports games. On the other side he’s not sworn in yet and needs to get as much fun he can before all of it ends.

I think he should go and do an undercard against Shrillary and Bill, 2 on 1.

I worry about his safety, he needs to listen to the SS and then some.

Agree 100℅. You belong to us, now, Mr T. We don't want you squandering it on getting taken out by some lefty loon at an unsecured venue with little or no diligence by a forward team!

Maybe they can construct a ‘Pope Bubble’ for him or some sort of bullet-proof upper tier box where the crowd can see him wave and react.

Secret Service needs to get creative to accommodate Donald’s blue-collar roots.

This is a man who is just as comfortable, perhaps even more so, hanging out with plumbers and carpenters as executive powersuits in the boardroom. People still want to know he’s one of them.

President Elect Trump needs to listen to the USSS, his life is no longer his own.

Yea I know. At 3:00 a.m. on November 9th my wants (and his) have changed dramatically.

I still worry about that fruitcake that tried to assassinate Reagan being let out of prison . . . he may be old, but I’m sure his trigger finger still works.

Unless the area has a VIP box in the overhead that is securable,no way should Trump attend.

There are way too many people who would love to see Trump dead - especially right after the election

Man, how can you not like a President who wants to go see UFC 205. Greatest card ever and in Madison Square Garden. I want to see Wonderboy Thompson beat Woodley. I know Conner will win his bout so I’m not so revved up about that one.

Trump should send his regrets, to clear out the risk of a deliberate attack, then go.

UFC coming to MSG is a big deal. And it would do the rest of us - and the world- good to see a president who isn’t a metrosexual and only gets to eat cheeseburgers when his domineering wife is out of town.

Compromise. Trump set up a enclosed VIP box out of the way of the general ticket holders.

He should listen to their advice now. I don’t think anyone else could have pulled off what he did and we can’t afford to lose him with all the whack jobs out there now.
