New York Times: “A political activist and a Vietnam veteran represented by an anti-corruption organization filed a lawsuit on Saturday challenging what it called the ‘night of cage fights’ that President Trump planned to hold at the White House as part of the celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary.”

“The lawsuit argues that the transformation of the grounds was never authorized by Congress, and that the event will serve as an extraordinary use of government space to benefit both the chief executive of UFC, Dana White, and Mr. Trump, who is an investor in UFC’s parent company.”

The bastard tore down half the friggin' White House without authorization from Congress. He painted the Reflecting Pool blue without authorization from Congress. Why the hell would he ask for permission to have a fucking cage match on government property?

Pedo doesn't care about Congress but he knows he has to care about Judges orders to him.

Either file appeals and sit down sleeping after the Judges order him to tear down things he does without permision.

It’s already junked up too much by Trump’s attempts to crown himself king for his birthday.

I’m sure he doesn’t bother to remember that the White House grounds belong to THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
