Creepy Threat to Trump's Big Birthday Extravaganza

The biggest threat to Donald Trump's lavish UFC birthday bash may not be a lawsuit, a heatwave, or Americans outraged by the spectacle at the White House.

It might be the bugs.

As crews put the finishing touches to the sprawling outdoor arena erected for UFC Freedom 250, organizers are grappling with a problem that every Washingtonian knows all too well: summer insects descending on bright lights in the nation's swampiest city.

The latest weather forecast has Washington, D.C. at a temperature high of 91 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday, with "hot with intervals of clouds and sun; a thunderstorm in spots late in the afternoon."

“All this could be somewhat unpleasant for the fighters gasping for air in an already slippery octagon splattered with sweat and blood”

This is how he celebrates his birthday. What a sicko.

I have to say that title of "nation's swampiest city" has others with a rightful claim. The entire central Gulf coast, from New Orleans west to Mobile, Alabama is right there with D.C., maybe swampier.
