Trump Humiliated by Devastating Poll on His UFC Birthday Bash
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump’s UFC fight event on the White House South Lawn, coinciding with his 80th birthday, is broadly unpopular, with only 16% of Americans and one-third of Republicans approving of the event according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
- The event, part of the America 250 celebrations marking the Declaration of Independence, faces criticism amid rising gas prices and cost-of-living concerns, with 46% of Americans deeming it inappropriate.
- Several states, including Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington, have declined participation in the associated "Great American State Fair," citing partisanship and costs, while a music concert tied to the event saw six of nine performers withdraw over similar concerns.
- The White House is facing a lawsuit from local residents over the UFC fight’s approval process, which the administration has asked the court to dismiss.
- Trump’s approval rating stands at 35%, with growing public concern about his physical fitness to serve as president, as reflected in recent polling data.
