The White House called a weather forecaster a \u201cfriendless loser\u201d for daring to warn of storms.<\/h2>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s team is drawing ridicule for lashing out at a weather channel that warned of storms during the president\u2019s outdoor 80th birthday extravaganza.<\/p>\n

The White House spent months planning for the UFC cage fight Trump is staging on the South Lawn for his 80th birthday on Sunday\u2014only for forecasters to warn that thunderstorms could crash the party.<\/p>\n

\n

In a post on X Sunday morning, The Weather Channel declared, \u201cRAIN, 30 MPH WINDS AND MOSQUITOS ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The weather forecaster wrote that the UFC event is facing a 60 percent chance of \u201cthunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage,\u201d the post continued. \u201cWhile the venue\u2019s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s aides spiraled in response to the unfavorable weather report, apparently convinced it was a political attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event is about celebrating America\u2019s unmatched greatness after 250 years \u2014 which apparently doesn\u2019t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline,\u201d the White House\u2019s official \u201cRapid Response\u201d account wrote on X. \u201cRain or shine, we\u2019re celebrating our great country no matter what.

The White House\u2019s attempt to bully the bad weather forecast away was swiftly mocked.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine being triggered by THE WEATHER,\u201d California Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom\u00a0wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue snowflake behavior! \u2744\ufe0f\u201d Newsom added, borrowing a favorite MAGA jab for those they view as easily offended.<\/p>\n

One X user\u00a0wrote, \u201cCrashing out because the Weather Channel is reporting on\u2026 weather is unhinged on another level,\u201d while another\u00a0commented, \u201cDeport the weather then. We know you want to try.\u201d<\/p>\n

TheTweetOfGod, the viral X account posing as God, also\u00a0chimed in\u00a0with a sarcastic quip, responding to the White House, \u201cYour personal knowledge of the friendlessness of the anonymous Weather Channel employee who reported factual truth is truly remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House\u2019s eruption over the weather may reflect lingering memories of the military parade Trump held on his birthday last year, which saw disappointing attendance amid rainy conditions.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people are expected to attend Sunday\u2019s UFC event, a $60 million production for which a massive structure nicknamed \u201cThe Claw\u201d has been erected on the White House South Lawn. The structure towers over the fighting arena, known as the Octagon, and features a steel framework fitted with large beam lights.<\/p>\n

The metal-heavy construction could be vulnerable in thunderstorms, as exposed structures conduct electricity efficiently, posing a particular safety concern if severe weather moves in, according to the\u00a0National Weather Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have never wanted to do it; I would have said we can\u2019t do it; they have to be in a controlled environment,\u201d Trump\u2019s friend and UFC commentator Joe Rogan\u00a0said on his podcast on Wednesday,\u00a0adding that it would be better if the event was \u201ccanceled\u201d and moved indoors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
