President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday (and America’s 250th) on Sunday by hosting a night of cage-fighting on the White House’s South Lawn. If you think that sounds distasteful, trust me, it was. Late into the evening, UFC fighter Josh Hokit won with a TKO over Trump’s favorite fighter, Derrick Lewis. Speaking to Joe Rogan afterward, Hokit shouted out the president and made a transphobic comment about Michelle Obama.
