Donald Trump Will Commemorate 20th Anniversary of 9/11 by Providing Ringside Commentary for Evander Holyfield Fight

Donald Trump will be doing a very Donald Trump thing this weekend.

You would think the former President of the United States would have better things to do on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, but nope! Because Donald Trump is a tone-deaf, kumquat-hued attention whore, heโ€™ll be commemorating one of the worst days in American history by providing commentary for a boxing match between Evander Holyfieldโ€”who may or may not have grown up in the Prohibition Eraโ€”and former UFC champion Vitor Belfort.

I thought this was a joke. Per ESPN, itโ€™s not a joke:

Former President Donald Trump has signed a contract to provide commentary on a โ€œgamecastโ€ of Saturdayโ€™s boxing event headlined by Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort, Triller told ESPN on Tuesday.

His son Donald Trump Jr. will join him at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

โ€œI love great fighters and great fights,โ€ our former commander-in-tweet said in a statement. โ€œI look forward to seeing both this Saturday night and sharing my thoughts ringside. You wonโ€™t want to miss this special event.โ€

For those wondering what other former presidentsโ€”you know, the ones who actually give a shit about the impact of 9/11 on American citizensโ€”will be up to, CBS News reports the following:

On the same day, meanwhile, former President George W. Bush will visit the 9/11 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and former President Barack Obama will visit the 9/11 memorial in New York City. President Joe Biden will visit all three crash sites in New York City, Pennsylvania and Arlington, Virginia.

Trumpโ€™s involvement in this boxing match shouldnโ€™t come as a complete surprise considering heโ€™s been inducted into the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame, the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame, and hosted plenty of matches at his casinos throughout the 1980s and โ€˜90s. But the timing is deplorableโ€”and further demonstrates not only his lust for relevance but his complete disinterest in even pretending to convey empathy. And as if I didnโ€™t already have zero incentive to watch a 58-year-old former four-time world heavyweight champion embarrass himself in the ring, I now have even less incentive to do so.

For those of you who are still interested in Trillerโ€™s latest cash grab, you can slide over to their website to find out how you can partake in this foolishness.
