In a recent speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” in Washington, D.C., former President Donald Trump made a suggestion that did not sit well with many. He proposed the creation of an ultimate fighting league specifically for immigrants.
Trump told a story about Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and said that he had proposed the idea of a “migrant league of fighters” to him. The idea was to have the champion of this league fight against the champion of the regular UFC league, with Trump speculating that the migrant fighter might actually win. However, this suggestion received widespread backlash and ridicule from social media users and politicians alike. Many criticized the notion of making asylum seekers participate in a blood sport for entertainment.
Some also pointed out the irony of Trump suggesting such a league, considering his derogatory remarks about countries from which many fighters in the UFC hail. Overall, the response to Trump’s suggestion was highly negative, with one Twitter user simply stating, “Trump is vile.”
