Trump says UFC’s Dana White didn’t like his migrant fight league idea
AP ^ | 6/24/24 | AP

Posted on 06/24/2024 6:38:11 AM PDT by MAGA2017

Former president Donald Trump, speaking this weekend at the gathering of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, returned several times to the subject of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump described migrants crossing it as “tough” and said that he told his friend Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, to enlist them in a new version of the sport.

“Why don’t you set up a migrant league and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league, these are the greatest fighters in the world, fighting the champion of the migrants,’” Trump described saying to White. “I think the migrant guy might win, that’s how tough they are. He didn’t like that idea too much.”

Biden’s campaign responded to Trump’s remarks by saying it was “fitting” that Trump, convicted of a felony, spent time at a religious conference making threats about immigration and “bragging about ripping away Americans’ freedoms.”

A bizarre sense of humor.

Better said as, "off The Wall," don't you think?

Of course, the Left is having a meltdown over this as if Trump is really serious about this.

It's a type of humor not unusual at a construction site. I'm betting it's where he picked that up. It would be totally alien in an ivory tower.

I’d prefer a migrant flight league, and all tens of millions of them are required to join.

“Biden’s campaign responded to Trump’s remarks by saying it was “fitting” that Trump, convicted of a felony...”

That narrative has fallen flat as a pancake.....no one cares but them.

If Trump is reelected you’ll be surprised how many leave on their own.

Yes, after Ike implemented Operation Wetback in 1954 most of the illegals self-deported. But this time they have strength in mind-boggling numbers. Going to require an unprecedented effort on our part.

“Going to require an unprecedented effort on our part.”

All ICE has to do is stake out the Walmarts, Lowes and Home Depots.....they can round up 80% of ‘em in those 3 places alone.

“l think it’s a BS story from the rats at AP.”

Dana White says it was a joke.....but you have to get past all the liberal media stories on your favorite search engine reporting it as serious before you get to an objective site that is reporting it for what it is....
A JOKE.

I knew it. MSM will run it as fact just like the Russians and HRC’s e-mail joke.
