MIAMI — Former President Donald Trump made an appearance at the UFC 287 mixed martial arts event in downtown Miami on Saturday, days after he became the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges stemming from hush money payments to an adult film star during the 2016 election.
Trump shook hands and waved to a cheering crowd at the Kaseya Center before he sat in the cage-side between Dana White, UFC president, and singer Robert James Ritchie, known professionally as Kid Rock. Trump was also seen standing from his chair to greet his supporters who were among nearly 20,000 people in attendance.
“USA! USA!” some chanted.
