On the eve of in , has made a bizarre suggestion that top fighters should take on migrants in the ring.
The eccentric ex-President, speaking at a rally in Pittsburgh, proposed to UFC chief Dana White that he should establish a special league for migrants to fight, with the ultimate winner facing off against "the champion" in the ring.
Trump stated: "I told the UFC's Dana White, you ought to set up your league of champions, unbelievable best fighters in the world, and a migrant league. At the end I want the migrant to go against the champion and I think the migrant might actually win, that's how nasty some of these guys are."
He didn't stop there, as he also expressed a wish for the Penn State wrestling team to wrestle the migrants: "Those Penn State guys, I wanted them to wrestle the migrants," he added. This follows a previous statement Trump made in June, as reported by the Mirror US, where he reiterated his idea to a Washington crowd about creating a so-called "Migrant league of fighters."
He recalled his earlier conversation with UFC President Dana White, saying: "I said, 'Dana, I have an idea: Why don't you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league - these are the greatest fighters in the world - fight the champion of the migrants. I think the migrants' guy might win, that's how tough they are."
Donald Trump has stirred up controversy again by reiterating his contentious comparison of migrants to UFC fighters in a speech on Monday, echoing statements he made back in June, as reported by .
His staunch ally and long-time friend Dana White didn't hold back at a recent rally in New York City's Madison Square Garden, showering Trump with praise: "President Trump and I have been friends for over 25 years, I've said this before and I'm gonna say it again. He is the most resilient, hardest working human being that I have ever met in my life."
White continued to extol Trump's fiscal virtues: "I know he's a great leader, this is not my opinion, not my hope, he's proven he can build the strongest economy in American history."
However, Trump's derogatory language about immigrants drew fierce criticism from the opposition. In response to his comments in June, Joe Biden's campaign swiftly hit back through spokesperson Sarafina Chitika, who said: "Fitting that convicted felon Donald Trump spent his time at a religious conference threatening to round up Latinos, bragging about ripping away Americans' freedoms, and promising to be even more extreme if he regains power."
She also lambasted Trump's unpredictable rant, adding: "Trump's incoherent, unhinged tirade showed voters in his own words that he is a threat to our freedoms and is too dangerous to be let anywhere near the White House again."
As Trump was making headlines, strategic campaign initiatives were unfolding in Pennsylvania on Monday. Both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were campaigning hard, recognizing the state's critical electoral significance.
