Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during his 2024 presidential campaign, then went on to reclaim the White House in the subsequent election. The fact that Trump was “unfazed” by the attempt on his life convinced UFC CEO and longtime friend, Dana White, that Trump was the “ultimate American badass.”
Despite “disgusting” parody skits by “old” WWE wrestler like Dave “Batista” Bautista.
“Everybody wants to talk smack,” White told Piers Morgan. “Batista, the old wrestler, did this skit on Trump being weak and all this stuff — that I thought was disgusting and gross. Let me tell you what: Batista and anybody else out there, the way that Trump reacted to that assassination attempt, every man hopes that’s the way you would react. You talk about who you want to be President of a country is the way that Trump reacted to that assassination attempt.”
Here’s the video from Bautista, filmed and aired prior to the election:
Bautista had his one and only MMA fight back in 2012.
“He believes in God and he’s very religious,” White said about Trump. “He believes that to his core, that God has spared his life to be the President and do the things that he’s gonna do over the next four years. Me and [Joe] Rogan have talked about this. Me and Rogan, I guess you would say, are not spiritual. If you had to put me on a platform to debate that there wasn’t some type of divine intervention, I’d literally have no ammo to debate that. It’s pretty crazy, it gives me the goosebumps.”
Seems like everything gives White goosebumps these days.
