Washington, D.C. natives are still grappling with the aftermath of Donald Trump’s spectacle of an 80th birthday.

The White House lawn has carried real history for centuries. Presidents have hosted events, funerals, and boarded Marine One from that same patch of grass.

And in one night, Trump and his UFC cage match set ruined sacred land, nicknamed “the People’s House.”

......................

Aerial photos from Reuters’ Aaron Schwartz showed the Ellipse, the 52-acre park south of the South Lawn, stripped to brown dirt. Only slivers of green survived.

“The UFC event has destroyed the grass on the Ellipse in front of the White House,” wrote podcaster and Ukrainian Armed Forces veteran John Jackson, summing up what everyone could see.

We should have gotten a damage deposit and the first and last month’s rent in advance.

I hope the ground underneath the carnival arch and the cage is rotted, stinks and wafts into the white house, even if the windows are closed.
