Why are people comparing White House lawn to 'Idiocracy' movie?

The main card includes at least eight U.S.-born fighters.

A 5,000-seat arena will be included in what President Donald Trump has said will be the "biggest event we've ever had at the White House."

Above the arena will be what promotors are calling "the claw," a massive lighting structure built in Europe specifically for this event.

In Mike Judge's satirical film, set 500 years in the future, the United States is depicted as having devolved into a society where entertainment and corporate branding overwhelm political seriousness.

If someone 20 years ago had told me what would happen in Trump's terms, it would have been unbelievable too. It's like we're living in a satirical play or movie.

With a hell of a lot less infrastructure and available to people of all incomes. I’m so sick of his bull! This entire event is a mockery of troops and their families. This guy needs to focus on running the country and forget about the TV show in his head!!
