Furthermore, during his conversation with the press panel, McGregor expressed his views on Donald Trump as the President of the United States. The Irish fighter praised the newly elected president, believing that Trump’s upcoming term would be even more extraordinary term than the last one.
Notably, many prominent figures within the UFC community share similar sentiments about Trump’s presidency, mirroring McGregor’s perspective. One significant reason for this is Trump’s consistent portrayal of a strong personality to the public. This impression was reinforced after he survived an assassination attempt during the pre-election campaigns.
