Just like Trump, UFC president Dana White built his fortune off exploitation and union-busting. No wonder they're friends.
“Ur a jackass get fedors nuts outta ur mouth.” “Go follow john mayer u puss!” “bro ur name is OMG lady gaga!? LMFAO you should be beat with a fuckin stick and kicked in the nuts repeatedly.”
These are some of the classy tweets written by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White, who also spoke at July’s Republican National Convention. White’s penchant for adolescent banter and public temper tantrums makes him a perfect companion for Donald Trump.
Trump, whose proposed tax reforms are the most regressive in history, hopes to do to the United States what White, with his financial partners Lorenzo Fertitta and Frank Fertitta III, have done to the UFC: create a tiered system that shuttles wealth to the top, while spouting “everyman” populist rhetoric.
