If America wins, we all win: Dana White

“The people have spoken loud and clear. America wants President Trump back in the White House. Think about this: To win this election after everything that has happened over the last few years is an amazing achievement and an incredible comeback -story,” he said.
“Think of all the things President Trump had to go through to get back here. All the powerful forces that tried to take him down: the mainstream media, partisan prosecutors, assassins. It’s absolutely insane what this man has been through. And only President Trump could have fought through all the obstacles, all the attacks and still come out the winner.
Ultimately, it comes down to Trump being a “winner,” White said.

“But you know what? It’s just 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 was going to stop him from fighting like that hard for the country he loves.
“He embodies what being an American is all about. We are the toughest, most resilient people on Earth, and nothing can stop us when we unite.”
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 return, White has supported Trump’s bid for the presidency.
