What is going on???
A reporter asks whether Trump threatens democracy. In the cartoon Harry Sisson plays, the answer is an animated Khabib Nurmagomedov tackling the journalist.
Sisson's Short, titled "What is going on???", shows a Truth Social post from Donald Trump's account sharing an animation credited to @DrClownPhD. Its premise puts UFC chief Dana White behind the White House briefing podium, backed by fighters. This is a cartoon, not footage of a briefing or an announcement that White has taken the job.
Another reporter says they feel unsafe, only to be carried away by an animated Islam Makhachev. By the time cartoon Trump arrives to ask how things went, the briefing room is wrecked and reporters are lying knocked out.
The reaction has drawn nearly 400,000 views in half a day, already several times Sisson's usual full-day audience for a Short. His comment section has also exceeded its usual first-day volume many times over.
Sisson's objection is to the president sharing the animation, rather than simply to its fictional premise. Returning to the camera after the clip, he asks how anyone can justify or normalize the post.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is an American company that stages mixed martial arts events worldwide. Dana White is its president and chief executive.
