In the wake of the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, has challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a cage bout of their own. The disbarred former attorney extended the invitation to Donald Trump’s eldest son to duke it out among themselves in a recent social media update, wherein he explained why holding such an event at the presidential residence wasn’t a good idea.
Hunter Biden challenges Donald Trump Jr. to a cage fight
On June 18, the 56-year-old artist jokingly requested that the POTUS’s son fight him inside a cage. He also talked about the problems with the recent UFC Freedom 250 event.
“Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn,” Hunter Biden wrote in an X (formerly Twitter) update. The 56-year-old’s quip was part of a lengthy message he penned in response to Joe Rogan, after the latter slammed detractors of the UFC event in White House by asking them to “shut the f**k up.”
Biden noted, “My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment. The White House does not belong to Donald Trump.”
Hunter Biden then claimed that Donald Trump only held the UFC event at the White House to assert that the iconic establishment was his house, and that he could use it for any purpose.
“To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for,” the former attorney continued. “This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.”
Biden further added, “The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy…The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.”
Notably, the UFC Freedom 250 event took place on June 14 on Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.
