On Saturday, after speaking at a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia, failed one-term former president Donald Trump made a stopover in Miami at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event where he was seen with UFC CEO Dana White.
Sports Illustrated reported on the appearance by Trump.
Trump, the country’s 45th president from 2016-2020, was seen in attendance sitting on the Octagon side with White. The pair have been acquainted since White bought the multi-billion-dollar promotion in 2001.
Politics aside, White credits Trump with giving the UFC a chance at early success in the initial years of the Zuffa era. One of the first cities to sanction MMA and allow the UFC to host events under the eventual unified ruleset was Atlantic City, New Jersey, which put on UFC 31 and subsequent events afterward.
Video of Trump walking through the UFC arena was shared on social media, and one portion of it has drawn a great deal of attention because it shows the disgraced ex-president speaking with his daughter, Ivanka, but completely ignoring one of his grandchildren Take a look:
What in the hell is that?! He speaks to Ivanka and Jared, but not even a smile for his grandson!
The video, which has been viewed nearly 230,000 times on Twitter/X, is going viral and also drawing plenty of commentary on social media.
