“Honestly, I stay completely out of politics. It’s just not my thing,” she told Sportico. “I just like to show my life and show 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 love to show the new generation my progress through college at the end, but obviously how I got to where I am today.”

Asked what she thought about politics crossing over into sports, Trump again said she tries to stay out of the political realm.
“Honestly, I just 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 as well, that’s where you kind of combine (America’s) 250 views on it. But I thought it was great.”
