Trump threatens to keep the UFC construction up permanently -- like the Eiffel Tower. [View all]

President Donald Trump on Tuesday compared the structure being built on the South Lawn of the White House for this month’s UFC fight to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

And he thinks it might have a similar fate.

Speaking in a TikTok video, the president said the Eiffel Tower was a temporary structure set up for the 1889 Paris Exposition.
“It was supposed to be taken down immediately after the world’s fair,” he said. “Well, they never took it down.”
