Dana White makes shock political U-turn after backing Donald Trump in the election
SUMMARY
Dana White, UFC president and close ally of Donald Trump, has announced his departure from politics after playing a prominent role in Trump’s re-election campaign. White, who was a vocal supporter and speaker at Republican National Conventions, pledged to avoid future political involvement, stating, “I’m never f—ng doing this again. I want nothing to do with this s—. It’s gross. It’s disgusting,” in an interview with The New Yorker. Despite his retreat from politics, White praised Trump, describing him as “tougher and more badass than anybody.” Their alliance was on display at UFC 309, where Trump celebrated his election victory, and champion Jon Jones dedicated his win to the president-elect, presenting him with his championship belt. While White’s loyalty to Trump remains steadfast, his exit signals that his political engagement was a one-time venture, leaving the GOP without his endorsement in future campaigns.
