Shaq Catching Heat After Shaking Hands With Donald Trump At UFC Event
Sports have a way of uniting people from all walks of life, which was apparent at this weekend’s UFC 314 in Miami. The main card fight, in which Alexander Volkanovski beat Diego Lopes in five rounds, highlighted the event. President Donald Trump and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal were among the stars in the crowd. Footage even shows the two shaking hands, as the president pats him on the shoulder before pulling the seven-footer in and whispering something in his ear as they parted ways.
Ahead of the fight, Shaq was also photographed smiling alongside another MAGA mainstay, US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
This isn’t the first time Shaq has been buddy-buddy with Trump. Back in 2016, when Trump shocked the world and won the presidential election, Shaq decried those asking for the votes to be recounted, instead asking for Trump to follow through on all his promises on the campaign trail.
