Since his previous presidential campaign, and while he held office, Donald Trump has always been energetic in his anti-immigrant position. On several occasions he has assured that the people who come to the United States from other countries are not the best and represent a risk to national security. Now He has even stated that they should unite to fight each other professionally.
Over the weekend, at a rally in Philadelphia, The former president declared that a league to fight immigrants should be created that is a rival to the Ultimate Fighting Championship or UFC.
He also gave the same statement at a meeting of Christian conservatives in the country’s capital, ensuring that Immigrants “are tough and bad,” so they should take advantage of that to dedicate themselves to the fight.
Trump even assured that he had already raised the idea with the director of the UFC, Dana White. “I said, ‘Dana, I have an idea for you to make a lot of money. A new league to fight against immigrants begins, only immigrants‘” he declared, as reproduced The Hill. Afterwards, he proposed that the champion of that league could face the champion of the UFC. “I think the migrant could win, they are that tough,” she added ironically.
He went on to say that although the head of the UFC did not react well to his idea, he insisted that he did not think it was a bad thing considering that “these people are harsh and unpleasant, bad.”
After these statements, the American media approached White to ask if the former president was telling the truth and he recalled that indeed The conversation had happened, but he had only taken it as a joke.
Those who did take his statements with amusement were the audience he was addressing at that time as part of his campaign to return to the White House in 2025.

Regarding the idea of generating a fighting league for immigrants, President Biden’s campaign spoke out on the matter in a statement: “Trump’s incoherent and unhinged tirade shows voters in his own words that he is a threat to our freedoms and “He is too dangerous to be allowed near the White House again.”
