Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has mocked Donald Trump for organising the White House-hosted UFC fight to land on his birthday.
Trump will celebrate his birthday on June 14, the same day a proposed UFC fight will take place on the lawn of the White House. Kimmel criticised the plans to hold the event at the White House, and the weigh in at the Lincoln Memorial, calling Trump a "child" for organising such an event.
He would go on to point out a hypocrisy in the Trump administration when it came to historic memorials, too. Kimmel said, "The president is planning to build a 5,000 seat arena in front of the White House. They scaled it down from 20,000 to 5,000, which is fine because Trump will say it's 100,000 anyway, but, I guess it was too big."
"The event will take place on June 14, which just happens to be his 80th birthday. Whose 80th birthday theme is inviting men to beat the crap out of each other on his lawn? The most miserable son of a b**ch in the world, that's who. The weigh-ins for this event will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. That is not a joke."
Kimmel suggested those who were defending controversial historic memorials and then actively wanting a UFC weigh-in at the front of the Lincoln Memorial were hypocrites. The talk show host went on to say Trump was a "child" for having such plans.
He added, "These are the same people who are all, 'Don't you dare desecrate the flag.' Totally fine with guys in their underpants at the foot of Abraham Lincoln. But it's his birthday, he has to have a party for his birthday. What a child he is. Everyone around him treats him like he's three-years-old."
"He is three years old. He needs a lot of attention so they let him have a press conference every day. He needs immediate gratification, so they give him a Diet Coke button. He gets constant praise for nothing. He takes naptime, often in the middle of a meeting."
"They order him McDonald's, he gets ice cream after dinner every night, he loves to use a sharpie when he's not supposed to.He wants to hear the same two songs over and over and over again, and he wears diapers. He is three-years-old."
