Mr. Devinney merely shrugged and mentioned, “He’s sleepin’.”
Ms. Hill mentioned she was “one hundred pc — 1,000 p.c” voting for Mr. Trump. She allowed that Mr. Biden “meant nicely,” however mentioned, “He’s a cliché, he’s a puppet, he’s being advised issues. I don’t assume he’s man sufficient to run our nation.”
Manliness is the U.F.C. model, after which some.
It’s a violent spectacle, blood-spattered, brutish and brawny. A fighter from California named Kevin Holland and a fighter from Poland named Michal Oleksiejczuk beat one another to a pulp inches from Mr. Trump’s face. The previous president watched with curiosity because the American acquired the Pole onto the bottom, secured his proper arm and appeared to yank it out of its socket. (Mr. White described it as an “completely lovely” second in his post-match commentary: “The arm clearly, on the very least, dislocated and presumably snapped,” he mentioned.)
Victorious, Holland emerged from the octagonal ring, walked over to Mr. Trump, bent down and shook arms, leaned in to listen to the previous president inform him one thing and clapped his left hand on Mr. Trump’s proper shoulder.
The second was projected onto the colossal video screens excessive above the ring. And the gang roared.
Klieg lights swiveled onto Mr. Trump and his entourage, and the sound system amped up the bass that was thumping now with The White Stripes’ revenge riff:
I’m gonna struggle ‘em off.
A seven nation military couldn’t maintain me again.
They’re gonna rip it off.
Takin’ their time proper behind my again.
Mr. Trump stood up and spun round to face the gang, pumping his fist.
The world answered again: “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!”
