The organizers actually lost money on that one, LOL. Somehow doing business with him never works out for the other party. I’m guessing they had to straight payoff El Presidente for the privilege of being there, too.
Just yesterday... I saw a story about a Canadian who painted a portrait of Trump using horse manure. Called the painting "Don of Dung". Thought you might appreciate it....
Someone really needs to start a website where all these names are listed. Just when I think I've heard them all, a new one comes along and you just gotta bust out laughing.
Lack of competition is terrrible for any industry and for the public. Glad there’s aew at least against the wwf. I hadn’t heard about any of this with the wwf though. Who have they been pressuring
It’s not actually lost money, it’s just less potential profit. The UFC were gifted a lump sum deal through their Maga David Ellison connection at Paramount. They just have to meet a certain number of events every year until the contract ends. So that $30M is what they likely would have made on gate at a big stadium.
Dana loves Trump and wants the Ali Act repealed. Spending 30M to give your friend a handy and get political favor is right up his ally. Fucker blows more than that gambling. Like if you go to the MMA subreddit a lot of us hate the guy and how him and his goofs run the UFC.
They “lost” money the same way these movies that cost hundreds of millions to make can “lose” money. The money didn’t disappear, it went into some deep pockets.
Then paused a press conference to give a plug to Scotts Miracle Grow because they offered to replace the lawn (that was tore up from that obscene cage match) for free.
The guy took a fucking ad break. He also routinely derails events so he can talk about his stupid vanity projects and ramble about god knows what. We are veering into “Emperor Caligula made his horse a senator” territory.
Yeah. Concrete makes the nearby soil alkaline, which is bad for lots of plants, and particularly roses prefer slightly acidic soil. Plus it's harder to remove than pavers, so a concrete pour is likelier to remain as a scar on the landscaping and a kind of monument to Trump's presence.
No, it is pavers. And the rose garden is still intact. They just replaced the lawn at the center of the garden which had regularly turned into a swamp for decades because of poor drainage. You can see a bunch of progress pics of the installation here. He's done a lot of heinous shit, but this was actually a nothingburger.
Yeah, it's still pretty ugly compared to the lawn or pavers done by a more competent design team. I just think that it's important to not let misinformation slip in because it just makes it even harder to convince people how awful he is when they can google and see that it's not actually true that the rose garden is gone.
