Mark Zuckerberg dropped by like the Meta boss he is, chatting it up with Trump. But the real kicker? UFC’s Dana White announced Meta’s giving smart glasses to blind vets nationwide.

Dana White was the man behind the madness, making sure the White House party hit all the right notes - fights, concerts, and million-dollar seats included.
Some big names got a 'no thanks' invite: Adam Sandler, The Rock, Jason Statham, and a few more. Turns out they politely declined this White House UFC show. The Rock’s team said nope, Sandler and crew said nope. Everyone else? Radio silence. Guess some celebs prefer chill weekends.
