“Your uncle don’t like you, and you can tell by his fake smile. And why you did your man like that? Pressing so hard on his fake shoulders. You made him look weak.”
Another user also noticed Trump’s seemingly oversized shoulder pads and suggested they were to make the octogenarian look stronger than he is.
“Did you pose like that intentionally to show how weak and fake his shoulders are, just like everything else about him and his policies?”
One user noted how tired Trump looked. “He looks so sleepy. Sleepy Trump. The worst president in history.”
“He looks like a re-animated bowl of pudding,” joked another, while one added, “Don Snoreleon ladies and gents.”
Mixing alcohol, a UFC event, and an energized MAGA crowd on the grounds of the Ellipse at a watch party across from the South Lawn always seemed like a recipe for chaos.
Sure enough, several attendees were caught throwing punches and landing punches.
Video on Threads shows two men fighting while a woman joined in. Police then stepped in and placed the men in handcuffs.
Another fight between two women featured one woman punching the other in the face before bystanders broke it up.
Trump boasted on Truth Social the day after the fight, and he wrote that the event “was incredible” and “PERFECT!”
The 80-year-old also claimed, “The White House has never looked more beautiful.”
More than 4,000 people attended the UFC fight at the White House.

Independent journalism still matters.
We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.
Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.
The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
