Despite the White House’s claim that the upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) posed “no conflict of interest” regarding President Donald Trump, a new development directly undercut that claim and established a firm connection between the event and the “Trump family’s financial interests,” The Guardian reported Sunday.

As revealed by UFC on Friday, fighters participating in the event will be partially paid “in a form of cryptocurrency issued by Trump family business World Liberty Financial.” Some fighters will also receive “USD1 stablecoins” issued by World Liberty Financial, the finance company founded in 2024 by Trump and a number of his family members.

Celebrity birthday wishes poured in for President Donald Trump as he turned 80 on Sunday – but many doubled as brutal condemnations of the president’s global impact, with one columnist declaring Trump’s legacy to be one of “mass immiseration and death.”

“Dear Number 47. You’re aging fast, Mr President, plagued by bruising, memory holes, verbal incoherence and unwelcome fits of sleep,” wrote novelist Siri Hustvedt, as reported by The Guardian.

As President Donald Trump turns 80 years old, an expert in politics and government sounded the alarm Sunday over what they say is making the president “even more dangerous,” and predicted that Americans had a “frightening” two years ahead of them.

Trump has faced growing scrutiny over what some critics argue are signs of his cognitive decline, including apparent spells of dozing off during cabinet meetings, increased instances of rambling during speeches and an unexplained MRI scan. The issue, argued Larry Jacobs, who heads the University of Minnesota’s Center for the Study of Politics and Governance, was that Trump's “limited toolkit” compared with other presidents made his alleged cognitive decline exponentially more “dangerous.”

White House correspondent April Ryan says the court-ordered removal of President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center is the single most painful defeat of his second term — a humiliation that cuts to the core of a man who built his entire identity on his brand.

Speaking on MS NOW Sunday, Ryan argued that the episode was uniquely wounding for Trump. "That brand, to have his name pulled off — that hurts," she said. "That is the biggest L," she added, not just on the world stage, but personally, "for him to see his name pulled down."

The Wall Street Journal exclusively reported recently that President Donald Trump is actively working with allies to “void” his two impeachments, an effort that inadvertently revealed that the president felt “disgrace and embarrassment” over his past conduct, a top Democratic congressman argued Sunday.

Citing anonymous inside sources, the Journal revealed that “Trump and his allies” were planning to push a resolution on GOP lawmakers that would symbolically expunge the president’s two impeachments: his 2019 impeachment related to his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and his 2021 impeachment for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

President Donald Trump is set to celebrate his 80th birthday Sunday night with an unprecedented Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight on the White House South Lawn, and “for once, [he] is hoping for calm” as a “risk of thunderstorms” threatens to disrupt the event, The Hill reported Sunday.

“Organizers say they can cope with heavy rain, even if they have to pause the fights briefly. Lightning poses a graver risk,” wrote The Hill’s Niall Stanage in the outlet’s report.
