The talk of the town this weekend was, without a doubt, the infamous UFC Freedom 250 fight. As you know, this event was supposed to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, but the President also used it to celebrate his birthday, which many saw as an exaggeration. Well, this wasn’t the only complaint about the event because, instead of keeping it to the White House, it ended up disturbing several citizens in Washington, D.C. Many reported that the jets and fireworks that happened around midnight disrupted the sleep schedule of those who had to work on Monday and lashed out at Trump.

Those who didn’t attend the UFC Freedom 250 fight this weekend still had to deal with its repercussions throughout Washington, D.C. Many Redditors posted last night about how they could hear fireworks at 1:00 am, which isn’t an ideal situation, especially when it isn’t a long weekend, and everyone has to go to work on Monday.

Other common complaints involved the jet show. While many loved watching it, it also caused a commotion across the city.

What was that sound?

As you can see, several Redditors from the city started posting about a mysterious sound that they were unaware of. Many had no idea there would be bomber jets flying across the city, which caught a lot off guard.

The truth is that with this and the fireworks, people lashed out at Trump, claiming that this show annoyed those who didn’t attend. Yet, others pointed out that the whole fight was a waste of taxpayer money, which seems to be the most common opinion right now.

After this questionable event, many residents started posting and commenting on different threads on the city’s subreddit, claiming that it was unnecessary, tacky, and a waste of money.

“Tax dollars are being wasted.“

“Brought to you by DOGE.“

Others just complained about having to work on Monday, but being unable to sleep because of the fireworks show.

“A few hours before the Monday workday starts for many, no less.“

“Love hearing explosions, aircraft, and sirens at 1 am!“

In the end, it seems that only those who were at the event had a good time. The rest of the city had to deal with what was happening, which wasn’t ideal as many had work to go to the next day. Now, many are hoping for Trump to never repeat this.
