Larry David<\/strong> wasn't a big fan of the much-hyped UFC fight that took place on the White House grounds at the initiative of Donald Trump<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

He has publicly stated that the controversial mixed martial arts competitions left him deeply uncomfortable with his own national identity.<\/p>\n

Notably, his harsh criticism joins a wave of public outrage following the scandal, with TV host Jimmy Kimmel similarly criticizing Trump for spending a huge amount of money on his organization.<\/p>\n

In a short interview with Variety, David recently expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with the holding of a mixed martial arts tournament on the grounds of the presidential residence.<\/p>\n

The television producer bluntly called the boxing competition a complete failure and expressed deep personal dissatisfaction with the entire spectacle, noting that after watching it he felt completely unproud of his national heritage.<\/p>\n

\u00ab"It was a disgrace, yeah, what else can you say about it?" David told the interviewer, as seen in a video posted on X.<\/p>\n

\u00ab"It was awkward, I was awkward being an American," he added.<\/p>\n

His harsh reaction was prompted by a much-discussed sporting event called UFC Freedom 250, which organizers held on the South Lawn. According to Entertainment Weekly, it coincided with a milestone in the country's history and Trump's birthday.<\/p>\n

Larry David previously called Donald Trump mentally unstable due to his reaction to the election.<\/h2>\n

David's intense anger over the UFC event coincides with his long-standing public opposition to Trump. Nearly two years ago, the television host expressed deep disappointment over Trump's refusal to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

He stated that this politician single-handedly damaged centuries-old established democratic traditions simply because he could not accept defeat.<\/p>\n

According to The Blast, the writer became visibly upset, raising his voice and admitting that the administration's actions haunt him every day.<\/p>\n

\u00ab"It's just crazy, he's such a sociopath, he's so deranged, he just couldn't admit defeat," David said.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel also criticized Donald Trump for hosting the controversial UFC event at the White House.<\/h2>\n

David isn't the only celebrity to publicly lash out at the president over the UFC event. Even late-night TV hosts are directly criticizing the controversial outdoor sporting event.<\/p>\n

In his evening monologue, Kimmel harshly mocked the massive financial scale and chaotic nature of the sporting event.<\/p>\n

The comedian openly mocked the crowded gathering at the presidential residence, drawing a clear comparison between the rowdy sports crowd on the grass and the infamous riots at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, The Blast reports.<\/p>\n

The TV presenter also questioned why tens of millions of dollars were allocated to build a massive lawn fighting facility, pointing out a clear inconsistency in the spending logic.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump faced a public backlash for insulting Michelle Obama.<\/h2>\n

The UFC exhibition bout drew intense attention not only because of its unusual location, but also because of an extremely offensive statement made by one of the fighters during a post-match interview.<\/p>\n

Following his victory, athlete Josh Hokitt used his time on the microphone to praise the administration for organizing the fights, and then made a crude, derogatory remark about former first lady Michelle Obama, calling her a "man.".<\/p>\n

According to media reports, Trump, who was in the front row, broke into a "half-smile" just moments after the participant in the conflict uttered the offensive word, The Blast reports.<\/p>\n

While the crude remark provoked a mixed reaction from those gathered, the online community responded with great indignation, sharply criticizing both the athlete and the political leader for condoning such behavior.<\/p>\n

Social media users flooded digital platforms with condemnation of the lack of basic decency, calling the behavior completely tactless and inappropriate for an event held in the executive's office.<\/p>\n

Trump also recently came under fire from Robert De Niro, who was not afraid to express his opinion on the current political situation in the country.<\/p>\n

De Niro explained at a public event that the country has become incredibly difficult to welcome people, given the current actions of its leadership. Addressing attendees of the event, titled "Get Up and Sing!", the Oscar winner said:<\/p>\n

\u00ab"I can't love a country led by Donald Trump. And a sycophantic Congress," reports The Blast.<\/p>\n

The renowned actor, who has used his public platform to engage in political debate for decades, has bluntly stated that the country is not "worthy of love" because of everything that has happened under Trump's administration.<\/p>\n
