This is shocking.
UFC President Dana White has shared a remarkable story about his conversations with former President Donald Trump following the assassination attempt on his life last year. White, known for his direct approach and loyalty to Trump, revealed that he repeatedly urged the then-president to consider stepping away from politics after the shocking incident. However, Trump’s response was one of unwavering resolve: “You don’t ever quit.”
White recounted this conversation during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, explaining that when Trump was shot at during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2022, White was deeply concerned for his friend’s safety. In the aftermath of the attack, White reached out to Trump, expressing his concern and suggesting that it might be time for the president to leave the campaign behind. “You have such a good life, you can do so many other things,” White said he told Trump.
Despite this, Trump’s reaction was a testament to his unshakeable determination. “I can’t quit. You don’t ever quit,” Trump responded. White was struck by Trump’s resilience, stating that the former president’s unflinching commitment to his cause was something every man should aspire to. In fact, Trump’s belief in divine purpose seemed to guide his decision to continue his campaign. According to White, Trump is deeply religious and believes that God spared his life for a greater purpose—to continue serving the American people.
The next day after the assassination attempt, Trump did not hesitate to continue his schedule. While most people would have understandably been rattled by such a close call, Trump pressed on with his plans, even attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. White couldn’t help but marvel at Trump’s mental toughness, describing him as “one of the strongest, if not the strongest mentally tough guys” he had ever met.
In a world full of political spin and indecision, Trump’s grit and refusal to back down serves as a powerful reminder of his unyielding commitment to the American people and the values he stands for.
