UFC president Dana White has come up with a new three-word nickname for former United States President Donald Trump following the latter’s immediate reaction to getting shot.
Trump survived an assassination attempt over the weekend, having hit the campaign trail in Pennsylvania on Saturday. He found himself in the crosshairs, with a 20-year-old PA native firing at him while on the podium.
Fortunately enough, the shooter missed his target by an inch or so, but the former POTUS was still wounded as the bullet ripped through his right ear.
Trump hit the deck when he realized what was happening, but he was right back on his feet, pumping a fist in the ear while urging everyone to “fight” right after.
As for White, he was a guest on ‘The Pat Mcafee Show’ this Monday and claimed to be blown away by Trump’s immediate reaction.
“This guy is almost 80 years old,” he said. “The guy tried to blow his head off. And to have the reaction that he did when he got up, this guy has been a friend of mine for 25 years, one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met. He’s an unbelievable friend, and he’s forever now the ultimate American bad*ss.”
