“Honestly, I stay completely out of politics. It’s just not my thing,” she told Sportico. “I just like showing my life and showing how you can still be an athlete and you can still do a ton of other things and enjoy a ton of other things.
“So I just like to show people that anything is possible and I just like to show the next generation my progress in college, eventually, but obviously how I got to where I am today.”

When asked what she thought about politics intersecting with sports, Trump said she tries to stay out of the political realm.
“Honestly, I stay out of politics. It’s not my thing,” she said. “But I think the UFC event was great and it was really cool to be there and especially to have veterans in the stadium too, that’s where you can kind of combine (America’s) 250 perspective on it. But I thought it was great.”
