Grampy trolls his UFC W.H. arena: "It's quite attractive to a lot of people. Maybe we'll never, ever take it down." [View all]

“Many don’t know that in Paris, France, the Eiffel Tower—1889 it was built. It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World’s Fair,” the president said.

“And then they said, we sort of like it, let’s leave it up a little bit longer. And then they said let’s leave it up longer and longer and longer. Well, they never took it down.”

Trump then said he may leave the towering structure up beyond his UFC event, because some people find it “attractive.” It’s not clear who he was referring to, as it has even been trashed by the UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan, who described the outdoor spectacle as “kind of a gimmick.”

“And you know we’re building something in front of the White House that’s quite attractive to a lot of people,” Trump said. “It’s gonna have the big UFC fight on June 14th, and I’m looking at it, and maybe we’ll never, ever take it down.”
