Donald Trump together with Elon Musk meets a good friend in UFC Jon Jones return

Just over two weeks after sitting down with Joe Rogan for a blockbuster three-hour podcast interview, President-elect Donald Trump reunited with the podcastr host at UFC 309. The bromance reached new heights on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, as Trump greeted Rogan with a long hug and some very kind words, much to the delight of the audience.

As expected, Trump showed up at MSG to add some Commander-in-chief razzle-dazzle to his old pal Dana White's latest fight night. Entering to cheers, this marked Trump's first trip back to the iconic venue since his controversial rally on October 27. Trump's entourage included new buddy Elon Musk, potential HHS Secretary RFK Jr., and Speaker Mike Johnson, among others. Notably absent were scandal-ridden Trump cabinet nominees Matt Gaetz and Peter Hegseth.

Before the main event-a heavyweight championship clash between Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones-Trump's exaggerated greeting of ringside commentator Joe Rogan stole the show. The hilarious reunion, complete with wide arms and beaming smiles, highlighted the strong rapport between the two men, forged during their recent podcast session.

Rogan, who formally endorsed Trump just before the November 5 election, seemed overjoyed to see the soon-to-be 47th POTUS. The comedian's enthusiastic for Trump, evident from their embrace, signals his continued influence in Trump's circle. Rogan's recent comments about the election further underscore his unconventional take on political events, including a playful jab at President Joe Biden.

With Elon Musk's significant backing during Trump's campaign and his new role in trimming the federal bureaucracy, the tech mogul's presence added to the evening's star power. As the night progressed, the blend of political figures, celebrities, and thrilling UFC action made for an unforgettable event, underscoring Trump's ability to draw attention and create memorable moments wherever he goes.
