Dana White will not stop being friends with President Trump even if it costs him money.
Next month, the UFC will hold an event at the White House lawn on June 14th.
During an interview, Katie Miller, White, was asked whether he had lost any business deals because of his friendship with Trump, and he said he didn’t care.
“I don’t give a sh-t. I don’t know the answer to that question. I’ve gotten to a point in my life, especially after COVID and all the nutty shit that went on during that time, that I only want to be in business with and talk to people that I’m aligned with.”
While White considers Trump a friend, he doesn’t consider himself a hardcore redpilled Republican.
“No, no, no, I would have considered myself a lot more liberal, I’d have considered myself an 80s or 90s Democrat. You know, but, I’m more of a commonsense guy. I’m not a very political person, but I’m all for common sense.”
“I think, you know, when you think about in the 80s and 90s, religion, right? That’s basically what like politics now is like religion. I mean these guys are, everybody’s fighting over all this crazy shit. And I think we should go back to you don’t know who you voted for and you don’t, you know, but I think it’s up to the athlete or the organization or whatever if they want to be involved in politics or talk on politics, it’s up to the individuals or the teams or the leagues or whatever they are.”
