Trump turned 80 with a 60 million dollar cage fight coliseum outside the peoples house

from Grep News

For his 80th birthday, Donald Trump staged UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn — seven cage fights under a 92-foot steel structure, the first major professional sporting event ever held at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The National Park Service's own court filing puts the cost at over $60 million in public resources across seven federal agencies, while the last-minute headline sponsor was World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm the Trump family co-owns. Biden marked his 80th with a private family brunch and got pushed out of a reelection race over his age; Trump answered the same question with a 4,000-seat coliseum, a failed lawsuit, and a G7 summit that rescheduled itself around the party.
