In perhaps his most bizarre tweet ever Donald Trump has challenged Nancy Pelosi to a fight in the “Pentagon”.

On the eve of his expected impeachment Trump tweeted, “I wanna challenge Nancy Pelosi to a fight in the Pentagon. If you don’t take this fight your (sic) scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite???”

An insider told us, “He copied Dana White in because he wants it to be an MMA fight on national TV. We think he means the octagon rather than the Pentagon. Or at least that’s what we think he means.”

Along with the tweet Trump released a Rocky style film purportedly showing him training for the fight. One scene shows Trump running up and down a step outside the White House. Another shows him walking out of what is supposed to be a sparring session. Trump then appears to get lost attempting to find the shower.

Our insider said, “It seems strange for a man with troublesome bone spurs to do this. But Trump feels strongly about this. He’d even considered appearing in gloves at the impeachment vote and challenging Nancy Pelosi to a duel. The velcro on the gloves put paid to that. Then he considered trial by combat but he’s rubbish with a sword. So, MMA it is.”

Nancy Pelosi’s office refused to comment about the challenge.
