Dana White Reveals Trump’s Resolute Response After the UFC Boss Urged Him to Quit Following Assassination Attempt
Breitbart ^ | 02/04/2025 | Dylan Gwinn

UFC President Dana White shared President Donald Trump’s defiant response after the UFC chief begged the then-candidate to quit politics following the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.

“Why are you doing this stuff? Stop,” White told Piers Morgan on a recent episode of Uncensored. “I told him to stop so many times. It’s just like, ‘You have such a good life, and you could do all these other things’. But the thing is, with President Trump is, he believes in God, and he’s very religious…He believes that, to his core, that God has spared his life to be the President and do the things that he’s going to do over the next four years.”

One of the worst days of my life. I thought President Trump was gone. I was at a friends BBQ. This couple showed up. They saw what was going on the TV. They both said Trump had it coming because of his hateful talk.

I left the room and went outside to calm down.

Those people would no longer be my friends. They are people of low character.

I watched it as it happened and as soon as I heard the shots, I thought “Wait are those gunshots or some fool popping fireworks” then when Trump went down I honestly thought he was dead, I started crying, my heart was pounding I dont think I was ever so scared before in my life, when he got up I just had a huge relief, I could breathe again

I remember that day as well. How the press first reported that Trump had ‘fallen down on stage.’ It took a while for them to report that shots had been fired and even longer to report that Trump had been hit, and even longer to admit that a bullet had come within an inch of killing him. Some are still in denial.

The fact that he jumped up, bloodied, and let the crowd know he was still alive buy shouting ‘fight, fight, fight!’ still pisses them off to this day.

Imagine how different the world would be today if he quit and Harris won. The Harris Justice Department and New York would put him in jail and bankrupt him and continue on with open borders and the entrenchment of the Deep State in the government. I shudder to think about it.

Biden would be in the White House. He didn’t quit the race until after Trump survived. The press would be saying too bad about Trump. Joe just had a bad day at the debate. He needs to stay at this juncture.

Correct that Biden would have still been the DNC nominee if Trump was assassinated in July. But would Biden have beaten Haley or whoever the Republican nominee would been? (Keep in mind the timeline of when Trump picked JD as VP vs assassination attempt.)

Back during his first term or the campaign at some rally some loon started yelling at him and menacingly started walking up to the stage. IIRC he thew something but Trump didn’t flinch at all. In retrospect his reaction after the shots was exactly in sync with that earlier moment. In hindsight he should have stayed low but that wouldn’t have been Donald John Trump and thus the perfect image of him was captured forever.

Nice restraint. I had similar at a gathering where the host said Bush “should be shot.” Amazing how liberals assume everyone has the same opinions as them.

Hosts/friends or not, there would have been words from me as I left. You have more tolerance for as___oles than I.

5000 FBI agents kicked the sand, knowing God has to have control, cannot be a coincidence.

Not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but there was an incident where some loon tried to take the podium and rush him from behind (I don't remember a chair being thrown, but I could be mistaken). President Trump turned around and was squaring up with him just as security took him down. President Trump's reaction should have answered any questions concerning his courage, which is probably why nobody in the legacy propaganda machine shows the footage.

God has instructed in His Word how to cleanse and sanctify someone for his use. These instructions were carried out precisely in front of the entire world.

And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. Leviticus 14:14

That lib larva that carried out the assassination attempt did more than any other single person -- apart from Donald J. Trump himself -- to help re-elect DJT.
