Kim Jong Un-level insanity:Trump plans to build a 100K-seat stadium near White House to host a UFC fight on his birthday

Source: The Independent

Friday 06 March 2026 06:02 EST


President Donald Trump says he plans to build a 100,000-seat stadium near the White House to host a UFC fight on his birthday.

The president confirmed the MMA event last year, although his critics have branded the plan to build an arena for the event as “Kim Jong Un-level insanity.” “They are going to put up something that’s really amazing,” Trump told reporters. “It's really having to do with our great 250th birthday, where we’re having so many wonderful things.

“UFC’s coming, as you know, in front of the White House, where they’re building, literally, a stadium. We’re gonna have over 100,000 people. This is gonna have a lot of…I won’t even say how many people because I think it can set a record for racing. It’s gonna be very, very important.”

Trump made the announcement while holding a meeting in the Oval Office about his executive order to bring an IndyCar street race to the capital. However, Trump’s critics have slammed the plans to build the 100,000-seat arena. “Do the American people have a say? Who is paying for this?” one X user asked. “That is what America needs,” another user wrote on X. “Right now. No Epstein. No war. No dying service members. Let’s talk ballroom.” “This is Kim Jong Un-level insanity,” author John Pavlovitz wrote on X.

In Washington DC?

I’m guessing it’s going to have rubber walls, and funny uniforms with long arms and straps and buckles.

with the seating capacity of Michigan’s Big House, Tiger Stadium at LSU, or Bryant Denny Stadium at Alabama in 3 months. Anywhere, let alone near the White House.

Build it. Build it fast. To hell with rules and safety regulations, just get that sucker up. Plaster it with shitty fake gold if it'll make you happy. Then pile in there with all of your ass kissers and croak together when it crumbles down on top of you.
Happy last birthday, MOFO.

I miss Lina Khan…
Regulation and oversight will check this scourge.
I live a shitty city in the global south (it wasn’t always so, but our corrupt, greedy and misogynistic communist CM), where this like genuinely criminal project is ongoing grabbing our streets and homes with zero permission for the 14th year in a row.

I do not do kayfabe and I am not insane or influenced by anyone or anything.
So I am not joking when I say I am pressing charges.

In Toronto Sidewalks Lab could be shut down because they actually ask the citizens. Here if people knew, except this corrupt and criminal crew in various giant and small creepy tech cos with parasitic data scientists, ai researchers, “artists”, traffic studies, needless logistics, marketing etc.

Looking at canetoad’s thread I went out today and took some photos of their license plates. I will do that going forward whenever I can.

And something criminal is unambiguously being built. In Canada they took permission. Here much like corrupt cities like Palo Alto (mostly owned by Palantir and Google), these creeps never bothered with permission and the bullying harassment and misogyny is as would be expected of the kinds of men and sleazy women locally who would sign up for this.

I don’t need this shit. It is all profit-bullshit nationalism while grabbing a military veterans home and bullshit leftism, calling this hateful and useless trash populist.

I work alone. But I have seen enough and I will ensure it is aborted and draconian complaints that stand the test of time are filed, going back to 2011 here in India,
This is not a space owned by Google, Facebook , Tata, Apple, Reliance(yuck) or the indigenous small creep.

This is a democracy. Colonialism’s worst effect in this instance is the bogus war on marijuana and this new type. This is parasitic from all sides..
And lol..these Dogville creeps picked the wrong woman.

I have no use for histrionics. I tried to endure this for 14 years. I have emailed my last lab, contacted the few small vegan and marijuana businesses I support actually and my onc knows me well enough to know I would never be a nuisance to doctors or actual scientists. And I always ensure my delivery boys etc are not stressed by me. I usually get along with people who are not stealing from me or groping me. Those two things will not fly no matter how large the group and what the bs spiel. It is just brute force. Not talent, expertise.
No one decent here even knows
You cannot violate common sense and expect to be sympathetic outside a cult. This is not a website or an app.

But this deliberate experiment is going to be taken to court by me as psychological torture and a rape like invasion of space.

I recently found out just how sleazy the local hospitals are. Not the doctors. Not the small practices. (Yeah it is a little tiresome to target without confusion). But Blackstone Inc is the private equity.
My dad would be furious if he knew.

He is no fool. Politics superficially is separate. Handing over our spaces to all sided encroachment and criminal “artists” etc, that’s grounds by now with one person dead (my mom) for criminal misconduct.

And lame tests and bullshit about bots etc..how did those get embedded..who gave you permission to just do this?

I didn’t and this isn’t Palo Alto or some shithole where corrupt and mediocre techies and sexual harassers and malpractitioners can just have their way. And any influencer who “explored” should get that in a gang rape, numbers don’t make it more valid.

These guys can expect a draconian pushback. And I do things alone so I can be sure no large confused group with no cohesive worldview or sense throws out sexual harassment, informed consent, IRB protocols, environmental laws ans the earth sciences, labor and privacy concerns and just pulls this shit.

This isn’t a game and it cannot be resolved with more fatuous shit and I have seen enough.
I joke about being tough etc.

But bs aside, I know right from wrong and if you do throw “bureaucracy” away and this common sense and common decency free bs that will be sympathetic to no one..not happening..

I always make myself as clear as I can. This has some roots in or ties to America and that will end badly as well.



Till now, I had some compunction. But now I am over it. Because it is not personal or emotional. I am not very emotional woman if my eardrums are not being split.

This is a redflag. That is the problem. You have every right to go snd sign up for thjs fucking bullshit by yourself.
Don’t drag me into shit and whinge and bully about how it is “inevitable”.
Kayfabe is a for douchebags and weak heads like movies and histrionics.

I loved Lina Khan. Times change and new people who used to stay away from frays show up and those are people you cannot force into your bullshit stale archetype pile.

and the enduring power of their rule.

1. Massive building and roadwork projects during the Nazi regime in Germany.
Second Reich, 1 thousand year rule and all that.

2. Egyptian pharaohs and their pyramids.

3. Massive building projects in various Russian Soviet satellite countries during the time of Soviet rule.

4. Ancient Roman Empire buildings and roads in the UK.

5. North Vietnam and huge statues of past and present leaders.

And now, Trump, his Arch and statue projects, White House ballroom, 100,000 seat auditorium.

The 1st NO KINGS protest was the biggest in US history, beating the May 2025 Hands Off Protest and inspired the 2nd NO KINGS in Oct 2025.

Here we are 1 year later and we are having a 3rd NO KINGS Protest on March 28. 2026. It is already surpassing the others as far as numbers go.

I am sick of protesting when the same shit continues. We must do something since I do NOT look forward to more and more when nothing changes.

Maybe we should look at this picture and change tactics.

They are still in the process of knocking down the old RFK stadium. The bid process took several months. They just released some of the concept drawings a few months ago.

Where does he propose to put this monstrosity? On the Mall? Knock down the Washington Monument?
