While billed as part of America\u2019s 250th anniversary celebrations, the June 14 spectacle also conveniently doubles as the president\u2019s 80th birthday party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The spectacle lands as Americans remain deeply pessimistic about the economy amid rising cost-of-living pressures. A University of Michigan survey released this month found consumer sentiment had fallen to an all-time low, with high prices and fuel costs continuing to erode household finances. <\/p>\n<p>The grim economic mood has coincided with collapsing approval numbers for the president. <\/p>\n<p>A recent RealClearPolitics polling average found the president\u2019s disapproval rating had climbed higher than at any point in either term, including after the Jan. 6 Capitol riots in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has repeatedly hyped the White House spectacle as \u201cthe greatest show on Earth,\u201d and used his close relationship with UFC president Dana White to turn the White House lawn into a made-for-TV fight night.<\/p>\n<p>White said 4,300 spectators\u2014mostly members of the military\u2014will watch the fights from the White House, while another 85,000 free tickets will be distributed for public viewing at nearby Ellipse Park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe taxpayers aren\u2019t paying anything,\u201d White said in an interview on <i>CBS Mornings<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re paying the bill for this whole fight.
