Donald Trump’s ‘rock star’ reception at UFC 314 is proof that America is ‘healing’, according to Clay Travis.

But the Outkick founder joked that there is one sports event where the President would not be given such a warm welcome: the WNBA All-Star game.

Trump was joined by three of his grandchildren – Kai, 17, Donald J. Trump III, 16, and Spencer, 12 – as well as Elon Musk for Saturday night’s UFC fight night in Miami.

The president was given a standing ovation before greeting high-profile supporters, including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal.

‘It was legendary. It’s a great honor to have that kind of ovation, really because it says we’re doing a good job. If we weren’t doing a good job, we’d get the opposite,’ Trump said.

Trump has attended a number of sporting events since returning to the Oval Office, including the Daytona 500 and recent NCAA wrestling championships.

‘I think this is so important, the way people are responding in the sports universe,’ Travis said

Back in February, he became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl, while Trump has also taken action on the controversial topic of transgender athletes. 

The president signed an executive order entitled ‘Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports’ and Travis told Fox: ‘Men are over it, we’re done with the ridiculousness and I think that’s symbolic.

‘Daytona 500, Super Bowl, wrestling championships, the UFC – overwhelming cheering… at the NCAA wrestling championship, every wrestler came over to shake his hand.’

The Outkick founder continued: ‘Maybe the WNBA All-Star game they wouldn’t like Trump… but everywhere else he’s got them won.’

Travis also took aim at ESPN over the network’s treatment of Trump during his first term. 

‘I think this is so important, the way people are responding in the sports universe. Trump was controversial in 2016 – ESPN tried to turn him into an awful human being,  (but) men are over it,’ Travis continued.

‘Now they (ESPN) have to cover him walking in, with a rock star reception… but I think it’s symptomatic of America healing. 

‘People chanting “U-S-A” and just wanting to be coming together, which is the best thing about sports. You don’t necessarily think about politics and you like to respect the president. It feels like we’re there again.’
