Hunter Biden wants Joe Rogan to help settle his latest political beef in the most on-brand way possible: a cage match with Donald Trump Jr.

Hunter made the challenge Thursday on X while arguing that the White House fight night had turned a public landmark into a political spectacle.

The post answered Rogan’s blunt message to critics of the South Lawn card.

Rather than starting with Trump Jr., Hunter first tried to explain why the fight night bothered him and others who saw the staging as a desecration of a civic space.

“Dear Joe, I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House,” Biden wrote.

Hunter tried to separate the sport from the venue, praising the fighters and the UFC brand before turning his fire back to the South Lawn.

He gave Rogan and Dana White credit for the UFC’s rise, praised the fighters’ discipline and conceded that the event itself had obvious spectacle value.

But the setting, he argued, changed everything. “My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred,” Biden argued.

“The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people.”

Biden accused Trump of treating the South Lawn as a personal arena and suggested the fight card was meant to send a larger message about power.

“To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for,” he wrote. “This is not Rome.”

In Hunter’s view, the same show could have happened nearby without turning the White House grounds into the statement. Instead, Biden claimed, the location was the point.

“The fights,” Biden wrote, “were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.”

Hunter ended with a postscript that kept the trash talk alive, saying the Trump Jr. “cage match” was still on… just not on the South Lawn.

The challenge was not entirely new. He had already teased the idea in April, when Andrew Callaghan was apparently trying to pull together a Trump-family matchup.

“100 per cent in if he could pull it off and if he can’t I’m still coming,” Hunter said at the time.

Rogan had helped fuel the latest flare-up during a Wednesday podcast conversation with behavior expert Chase Hughes.

Rogan, a longtime UFC voice, described the White House card as unlike anything he had seen in combat sports.

“It was insane. Just the magnitude of it was insane,” Rogan said of the event.

He called it “the wildest experience” of his career calling fights and said nothing else came close.

The fight card doubled as a birthday showcase for Trump and part of the build-up to America’s 250th anniversary.

Roughly 4,300 people attended, including about 1,200 active-duty service members, as 14 international fighters entered the South Lawn cage.

The production opened with Zac Brown and the Marine Band on the anthem and closed with a Blue Angels and Thunderbirds flyover.

Rogan said every bout ended by knockout, calling the show a one-time spectacle that people had to see in person.

Rogan said he even talked hesitant friends into going, including Shane Gillis.

“It’s going to be epic,” Rogan recalled telling him. “It’s going to be a once ever thing. Not a once in a lifetime. Once in anybody’s lifetime.”

What irritated Rogan most was the political backlash aimed at people who attended.

He said showing up at a White House fight did not automatically amount to endorsing Trump’s foreign policy.

“Like, it’s a f—ing fight at the White House. Doesn’t mean you endorse foreign policy. Like, shut the f— up,” Rogan argued.

The political spectacle also produced one of the night’s more surreal fighter-president moments.

Sean O’Malley later revealed the birthday line he says he gave Trump after stopping Canadian fighter Aiemann Zahabi.

“I said: ‘Happy birthday, I knocked out a Canadian for you,’” O’Malley recalled on “The Ariel Helwani Show.”

“At least, I think that’s what I said,” he added.

The joke played off Trump’s repeated talk about Canada as a possible “51st State.”

O’Malley said the setting changed the energy, even if it did not rattle him.

“Not overwhelming, not to where I was affected in a negative way,” he said.

For O’Malley, the odd mix of White House pageantry, birthdays and a lone Canadian opponent made the bout feel unusually loaded.

The White House event also sparked outrage after UFC fighter Josh Hokit used a post-fight interview with Rogan to attack former first lady Michelle Obama.

While grinning into the camera, Hokit said, “And lastly … Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?”

The line echoed a right-wing conspiracy theory about the former first lady.

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith tore into the remark on his SiriusXM show “Straight Shooter with Stephen A.”

“That was an incredibly disparaging remark about one of the greatest first ladies, if not the greatest first lady we have seen. It was a disgusting thing to say. It was inexcusable,” Smith said.

Smith also faulted Trump’s reaction, saying the president smiled instead of shutting it down.

“Josh Hokit’s comments should’ve immediately been denounced by the president,” Smith argued. “But he doesn’t do that enough, and that’s the problem.”
