President Trump has continuously shown that nothing can bring him down, and last weekend proved to be no different.
Just one day after he was found guilty by a New York jury in the sham hush money trial, the 45th president announced on Truth Social that he was heading to Newark, New Jersey, to watch the Saturday night UFC fights.
A little while later, videos began circulating of President Trump receiving thunderous applause and cheers as he entered the arena with UFC chief executive Dana White and headed to his seat.
He shook hands with supporters and fist-pumped the crowd before stopping to shake hands with the UFC commentators, including Joe Rogan. The popular podcaster told viewers, “The round of applause he’s getting right now is pretty staggering.”
After taking down his opponent, UFC fighter Kevin Holland jumped the arena fence and shook hands with President Trump.
UFC fighter Sean Strickland gave a shoutout to the 45th president following his victory, exclaiming, “President Trump, you’re the man, bro, it is a damn travesty what they’re doing to you. I’ll be donating to you my man, let’s get it done.”
President Trump shared various clips and photos from the night on Truth Social, including a video of the huge crowd chanting, “USA, USA, USA!”
Early Sunday morning, the 45th president wrote, “A GREAT night at the UFC!”
