The UFC White House event was a blatant cash grab, forcing Americans to pay Paramount+ just to watch something happening at their own public property. Trump's crypto and Truth Social were among the sponsors, turning the South Lawn into a billboard for his personal financial interests. Hosting a fight where a competitor mocked Michelle Obama — met with a half-smile from Trump — says everything about what this administration values.
