President-Elect Trump Makes a Splash at UFC Event
During a recent appearance at the UFC pay-per-view event in New York City, President-elect Trump was surrounded by key cabinet selections and prominent political figures.
A Warm Welcome at Madison Square Garden
As he entered the iconic Madison Square Garden, Trump was met with enthusiastic cheers and chants of “USA, USA” from the crowd.
Notable Supporters in Attendance
The president-elect was joined by influential supporters who have been appointed to his cabinet. Among them were Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, both designated to head a newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Additionally, Tulsi Gabbard has been selected as Trump’s choice for director of national intelligence, while Robert Kennedy Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Political Allies Show Their Support
In addition to his cabinet picks, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), along with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, were present to show their support for the president-elect during this significant event.
A Longtime Fan: Dana White Joins the Celebration
The presence of UFC President Dana White added another layer to Trump’s visit—White has been an ardent supporter since before Trump’s political career began.

Cabinet Appointments Accelerate Post-Election
This visit comes shortly after Trump’s swift appointments following his victory in the Presidential Election on November 5th.
An Exciting Announcement for Energy Leadership
This past Saturday marked another significant moment as President-elect Trump revealed that Chris Wright—the CEO and founder of Liberty Energy—will take charge as Secretary of Energy within his administration.
“I am excited to announce that Chris Wright will be joining my Administration as both United States Secretary of Energy and Member of the newly formed Council of National Energy,” stated Trump in an official announcement on Saturday.
A Rapid Transition Process Compared to Previous Terms
The pace at which nominees are being announced during this transition is notably quicker than during Trump’s first term beginning in 2016—a change attributed to his focus on prioritizing American interests first.
“The American people re-elected President Trump by a substantial margin, granting him a mandate to fulfill campaign promises,” said Karoline Leavitt from Trump’s transition team when discussing this expedited rollout.
“His Cabinet selections reflect our commitment to putting America First while ensuring we appoint highly qualified individuals equipped with necessary skills.”
