Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, made headlines at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, with a bold promise to end the conflict in Palestine. Attending the event at the Prudential Center, Trump was surrounded by celebrities, including Joey Diaz, Theo Von, and Aaron Rodgers.
Trump’s entrance was met with enthusiasm from the crowd as he took his seat for the main card. Known for attracting attention at UFC events, Trump was a popular figure among the fighters. Both Sean Strickland and Kevin Holland, who secured a win after breaking his opponent’s arm, made their way to Trump immediately after their victories.
After the main event, where lightweight champion Islam Makhachev retained his title, Trump had a notable exchange with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov. Nurmagomedov, a close friend and trainer of Makhachev, expressed his hope for an end to the war in Palestine. Trump assured him, saying, “We’re gonna stop it. I’m gonna stop it” conversation.
Throughout the event, cameras frequently focused on Trump, capturing the crowd’s reaction. During a chant of “F*** Joe Biden,” Trump raised his fist, showing his support for the sentiment.
This appearance is reminiscent of Trump’s previous impact at UFC 299, where NFL star Travis Kelce liked photos posted by former ESPN host Sage Steele. The photos, featuring Steele with Trump and other personalities like Candace Owens and SteveWillDoIt, sparked controversy. Kelce’s actions led to an uproar among left-wing followers and Taylor Swift fans, highlighting the contentious nature of Trump’s appearances.
The conversation with Nurmagomedov underscores Trump’s continued engagement with global issues and his influence in public forums. His promise to end the Palestine conflict adds a significant element to his ongoing public narrative.
The night’s events, including the crowd’s chants and Trump’s interactions, demonstrate his enduring popularity among his supporters and his ability to stir reactions at major events.
As Trump continues to make appearances and statements, his influence on public discourse remains strong.
