Democrats could never!
NEWARK, NJ – In a moment that lit up social media and fired up the crowd, President Donald J. Trump made a dramatic entrance at UFC 316 on Saturday night, turning the high-stakes fight event into a powerful display of American pride and patriotism.
Walking into the Prudential Center with UFC CEO Dana White by his side, the President was welcomed by a roaring crowd and thunderous chants of “USA! USA!” The entrance was timed perfectly to Kid Rock’s “American Badass,” a fitting soundtrack for the bold and unapologetic leader who continues to capture the heart of the nation.
🔥 Patriotic Momentum, Celebrity Energy
The energy inside the arena surged as Trump greeted icons like former heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson and UFC commentator Joe Rogan. He also took time to shake hands with ordinary Americans in the crowd, underscoring his commitment to the people—not the political elite.
This wasn’t just a political appearance. It was a cultural moment. It was America on full display: strong, proud, and unfiltered.
🇺🇸 Trump Family and Trusted Allies in Attendance
President Trump was joined by an all-star lineup of family and allies:
- Ivanka Trump, First Daughter
- Eric Trump, First Son
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- Acting New Jersey Attorney General Alina Habba
This visible show of unity sent a clear message: the America First movement is alive, well, and gaining momentum.
