President Donald Trump ran two brazen schemes during the “UFC Freedom 250” event at the White House over the weekend, leaving one political analyst aghast.
Trump hosted the “UFC Freedom 250” event at the White House as part of his 80th birthday celebration, which raised conflict-of-interest concerns. A lawsuit was filed by the Public Integrity Project in the District of Columbia federal court to try to stop the event because the two federal agencies that organized it did not get congressional approval before construction began. However, a federal judge allowed the event to continue.
David Pakman, host of the “David Pakman Show,” said in a new reaction video that there were two other scams Trump was running during the event. At one point, a commercial for “Trump Coin” was played on television. Another advertisement for Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, also played during the event, Pakman noted.
Pakman argued that the advertisements showed that “conflict of interest is the product” that Trump has been selling his MAGA base for years.
“Remember that for years we were told Hunter Biden making paintings and selling them to people who might pay more because he’s Hunter Biden is the biggest corrupt crime in presidential history,” Pakman said. “Every business connection involving a politician, especially if there is Biden, is a scandal.”
“We have a sitting president who is now selling commemorative coins, NFTs, all during a White House fight that he set up with his friend Dana White,” he added. “They’re not even making an attempt to hide the conflict of interest. And you know what? Why would they? Because the MAGA people don’t give a damn. The conflict of interest is the product.”
