Of all the things happening across the country, the UFC Freedom 250 fight is the one that is most talked about, especially among those living in Washington, DC. However, the talk surrounding it isn’t the best, as several people are criticizing Trump’s actions in the White House. Today, a Redditor took some pictures of all the equipment being placed on the White House grounds, and, well, it left some people confused, as it seems the President has some questionable priorities at the moment.
Credits for the pictures can be viewed and belong to NBC News. As you can see, the White House staff is already planning ahead of the UFC Freedom 250 fight, which, as many already know, takes place on the same day as Trump’s birthday. Naturally, the President, who’s known for fanfare, decided to host this event at the White House, and preparations have begun.
The images clearly show all the equipment being moved into place, as the event is only a couple of weeks away. And while many Americans, especially UFC fans and Trump supporters, are looking forward to it, some are not entirely happy with what is happening inside the White House.
Several Redditors have heavily criticized this event, claiming that it should not take place at such an important landmark in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, it makes the event look extremely political, as it coincides with Trump’s birthday.
Washington DC Redditors Believe the UFC event is Abusing Taxpayers’ Money
Reactions to this event are all over the place, but so far, all of them seem to fall on the negative side. Some users have noted that this appears to be an abuse of taxpayers’ money, as moving all this equipment must be costing the government a lot.
“I remember when Obama took a vacation with his family, and Republicans were frothing at the mouth about abuse of taxpayer money. Have yet to see any of them complain about this or Trump’s endless golf outings.“
Others, however, have just focused on criticizing the event’s scope, claiming it looks bad, especially when hosted inside the White House.
“This is so trashy.“
“It’s absolutely embarrassing.“
Despite all the complaints, however, it seems that there’s no stopping the event. Still, some citizens believe this should not happen in the White House, as it makes the government look bad and makes people think it is using taxpayer money to fund these shows.
