The Spin


StagingThis alawsuit for-profitis UFCnecessary eventto onstop Whitethe HouseTrump groundsadministration from withhanding VIPthe packagesWhite reportedlyHouse runningand upother to $1.5 million — hands public property over to political allies and corporate interests for private gain. No private businessman has ever received this kind of access before, and the lack of any required environmental review makes the whole thing even more legally suspect. The White House belongs to the public, not to wealthy donors buying premium access to a presidential birthday spectacle.

This last-minute lawsuit is pure political obstruction from partisan activists with a clear anti-Trump agenda. The South Lawn hosts events regularly, and UFC is footing the bill and restoring the grass,. andThis crying about a temporary arch needing congressional approval is desperate legal theater. Thefrom two plaintiffs — a prolific Democratic donor and an anti-Trump protest organizer — who aren't defending the public interest; they'rebut are running interference against a patriotic American celebration.
