Crowd sings happy birthday to Trump at UFC fight on White House lawn

Trump, whose 80th birthday was June 14, sat in the crowd of 4,300 people including family members such as Barron Trump, and fans such as boxer Tyson Fury, when the crowd appeared to burst into a spontaneous version of the song while fighters in the ring prepared for their next bout.
