    Does he just randomly say this out of the blue? Or what kind of contrived prompt is used to steer down this path of dialogue?

        This is probably the right answer, and I can’t fully describe the ennui it provokes. It’s like the neighbor’s kid you watched build a treehouse with his dad grow up to be repeatedly arrested for drunk and disorderly.

        Fuck kalshi. I hope that shit burns to the fucking sub basement. Their shitty adds alone are enough for every cunt involved to deserve a curb stomping.

      Id bet the trump administration/trump himself told him to say that, and he’d get something for it. Be it money or something else.

        This is what happened: 100%.

        Donald wanted another distraction from the Epstein files and he got one. Another little bit of script for his reality show presidency.

        Sure. But still, was it out of the blue, or did they come up with some kind of script to force it into context?

        Probably wasn’t money. They’re not even getting any of that for the fight.

      I watched it. This was the post-fight, in-the-octagon interview. He just said it to capture headlines. The cameras then panned out to the huge crowd full of shirtless morons whooping it up.

      This is worse than Idiocracy.
