The mainstream media were out in full force yet again heading up to the White House UFC cage match held on the South Lawn Sunday night in celebration of America’s 250th birthday and President Trump’s 80th.
We’ve long known that most of the lamestream media is deeply infected by that dastardly disorder, Trump Derangement Syndrome, but now it appears that even the weatherpeople have come down with it. Here are a few (wishcasting) headlines leading up to the big event:
Forbes:
Will Weather Or Bugs Spoil Trump’s UFC Fight? This Is The Forecast
CNN:
The biggest brawl at Trump’s UFC night may be with the weather
Jumping in from the third rope was, of all people, The Weather Channel. “It’s going to be a disaster!” they cried. “We’re all going to die!”
Except, not so much:
Couldn’t have been more wrong.

YIKES!!!! https://t.co/kBvRfVkp3n
The president was quick to troll the doom and gloomers:
The UFC at the White House last night was incredible. The weather was scheduled to be horrendous, and it turned out to be PERFECT! So much for weather predicting. The Fighters were outstanding — Bo Nickal, Justin Gaethje, Ciryl Gane, Sean O’Malley, Josh Hokit, Mauricio Ruffy, and Diego Lopes were all unbelievable! Most people have never seen anything like that kind of human speed and power before. The White House has never looked more beautiful. The setting was unsurpassed! Congratulations to Dana White, and his unbelievable UFC. One of the most exciting days in the History of our fabled White House! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Take that, naysayers:
Liberal Counterprogramming Against the White House UFC Event Does Not Go Well
The White House UFC Event Was Loud, Patriotic, and Everything the Left Despises
It was almost as if they wanted things to go badly. Forbes:
President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated UFC bout taking place on his 80th birthday at the White House is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. on Sunday—but the possibility of volatile weather in the Washington, D.C., area, including potential thunderstorms, high winds, hail, and also the chance for swarms of insects, could put a damper on the festivities tonight.
Care to do an update?
It’s going to be an epic storm, they warned:
D.C. could see scattered thunderstorms with “damaging wind gusts or large hail,” the National Weather Service said in a forecast for the region on Sunday, with wind speeds reaching as high as 60-70 mph.
Be still my beating heart. The White House communications team wasn’t about to let this one slide (profanity alert):
This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.

Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/NSvJooLAtz
We’re used to seeing the likes of CNN, The New York Times, and MS NOW or whatever it’s called these days frowning upon patriotism and the celebration of America’s Semiquincentennial, but the Weather Channel? Didn’t have that on my bingo card.
My prediction going forward: doom, gloom, and dark clouds will continue to plague the MSM. They just keep looking like fools, but have shown little inclination to adjust to the new reality. They’re now on the outside looking in.
