“The people have spoken loud and clear. America wants President Trump back in the White House. Think about it: winning this election after everything that has happened in recent years is an incredible achievement and a historic amazing comeback,” he said.
“Think about everything President Trump had to go through to get back here. All the powerful forces that tried to bring him down: the mainstream media, the partisan prosecutors, the assassins. It’s absolutely insane what this man went through And only President Trump could have overcome all these obstacles, all these attacks and emerged victorious.
Ultimately, Trump is a “winner,” White said.

“But you know what? That’s exactly what he is. This guy is a winner. And I say it all the time. He’s the toughest, most resilient person I’ve ever met and nothing wasn’t going to stop him from fighting, so hard for the country he loves.
“He embodies what it is to be an American. We are the toughest, most resilient people on the planet and nothing can stop us when we come together.”
White and Trump have deepened their relationship over the years. Trump was one of White’s biggest supporters in the early years of the UFC. In turn, White supported Trump’s presidential bids.
