Trump’s Public Appearance At UFC Match Post Conviction
Donald J. Trump made a public appearance at an Ultimate Fighting Championship match in the Prudential Center, Newark, drawing a crowd of 16,000 people. This was his first public outing since his recent conviction on 34 felony charges. The event went on till the early hours of 1:15 a.m. with Trump in attendance till the very end.
Trump made his entrance to the sound of Kid Rock’s “American Bad Ass,” an anthem that has become synonymous with his attempt to regain his presidency.
The crowd echoed chants of “We love Trump” and President Biden’s name with profanities. Trump’s appearance was designed as a way to recast him as a victim of persecution. His campaign released a video of his entrance into the arena on his new TikTok account.
Onlookers’ opinions were varied, with some supporting Trump’s courage to attend a big event despite recent events, while others seemed to be more focused on the spectacle than the political undertones.
Despite recent conviction over falsified business records related to hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels, some supporters like Shannon Hill, 41, view the conviction as a “setup” and question its timing.
Meanwhile, Trump’s criticism of his opponent, President Biden, has been escalating. He recently claimed that under Biden’s leadership, America has turned into a “fascist state”. However, the views of the crowd at the UFC match were not entirely in line with Trump’s assertions, with some stating that while they wouldn’t vote for Biden, they didn’t see things as Trump described.
The UFC match was a brutal spectacle with fighters Kevin Holland and Michal Oleksiejczuk battling it out right in front of Trump, resulting in a dislocation or possible snap of the Polish fighter’s arm. The victorious Holland shook hands with Trump amidst the roar of the crowd.
The event culminated with Trump standing up to face the crowd, pumping his fist to their chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!”
