Former President Donald Trump just made his first public appearance after his indictment last week. That was his showing up at the UFC Miami fights alongside both former fighter Mike Tyson and the singer that just broke the internet, Kid Rock.
Not only did he show up alongside those two guys, but he ended up sitting right at the edge of the Octagon with them too, as Jack Posobiec posted on Twitter:

Commenting on Poso’s photo, people said things like “Trump is a stud! 🍊,” “Trump looking great!,” and “People’s president.” And, of course, the liberals that commented on the tweet were furious to see former President Trump looking happy and healthy, so they screamed into the void and posted unflattering memes of him.
And it wasn’t just the internet that was going crazy over Trump’s appearance. The crowd went wild at Trump’s appearance, as you can check out below:

Trump is yet to post about the event, though he did repost a post on Truth Social that said “Perverted joe Biden is a treasonous traitor trying to overthrow the United States of America and our constitution.That makes him and democrats public enemy .They will pay for crimes against humanity and treason.”
He also retruthed a quote from an article in The Conservative Treehouse, saying:
“Removing Donald Trump from the equation is not about political battles between parties. Removing Donald Trump from the equation is mitigating the existential threat he represents because his specific policies..”
“..President Trump represents the interests of the American people; that makes him dangerous to Big Club’s life..”
He also retruthed a quote from an American Thinker piece: “The indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate on such a weak and preposterous theory as this one puts the lie to the idea that the Constitution limits our government. This is nothing less than the established “swamp” inventing new legal theories while ignoring existing law to crush a political opponent. That foretells the end of the Republic.”
However, he doesn’t seem to have posted anything from the event, so hopefully he was distracted from the leftists wolves nipping at his heels and having a good time at the event.
Fox News Digital notes that Trump was at the event to support both Dana White and fighter Jorge Masvidal, saying:
Trump and White share a close relationship, and over the years, he and Jorge Masvidal have formed a friendship. Masvidal is fighting Gilbert Burns in a welterweight bout as the co-main event.
Masvidal has also shown support for the 45th president in the past.
The 38-year-old has lost his last three fights, his most recent coming back on March 5 of last year against Colby Covington by unanimous decision in Las Vegas.
That fighter returned the favor to Trump by leading the crowd in an epic “Let’s go Brandon” chant, as you can watch here:
The New York Post, reporting on that, said:
UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal led a crowd in a “Let’s go Brandon” chant after losing his final professional fight in Miami Saturday night — as he lavished praise on former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Masvidal, dubbed “The King of Miami,” lost by decision to Gilbert Burns after three rounds at UFC 287.
After the fight the 38-year-old, joined by comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan in the ring, announced he will be retiring from MMA after a 20-year career.
After the announcement, Masvidal took the mic to give a shoutout to Trump, 76 — who was at the event ringside following his arrest in Manhattan earlier this week.
