What has been said?

Hill has called those criticizing the UFC 300 main event “crazy.”

“Honestly, I think it’s crazy because for the most part, a lot of these people are the same people who have been calling me ‘cry baby’ for the better part of a year or however long, but it’s crazy to see how a card can become stacked,” he said.

“The main card literally has a former champion or champion in every fight […] Each of the preliminaries is worth standing on its own, and people are crying.”

Donald Trump appeared to have gotten a double bird from comedian Bill Burr’s wife after arriving at UFC 295 to an otherwise hero’s welcome at Madison Square Garden.

The former president received an ecstatic ovation from almost everyone in the arena when he showed up with his son Don JrKid Rock and Tucker Carlson on Saturday night.

But cameras captured Nia Renee Hill sitting next to Trump appearing to curse at the former commander-in-chief as he was shot.

Despite being on trial for $250 million in fraud in the city, Trump was cheerful, grinning and giving the thumbs up.

The 77-year-old former president regularly attends UFC fights and is extremely popular among fight fans.

Trump was flanked by UFC chief Dana White when he made his entrance after the preliminary battles.

He was spotted chatting with singer Kid Rock near the Octagon, while comedian and actor Burr was also in the crowd alongside actor Jared Leto and UFC royalty including Justin Gaethje and Dustin Poirier.

Trump, dressed in his signature dark blue suit and red tie, shook hands with White before taking a seat in his side cage.

He received a huge ovation and the crowd followed with chants of “USA” before the promo for the UFC’s 30th anniversary event played.

A few minutes later, the crowd went wild again as the 45th president appeared on the big screen in the arena.

Jiri Prochazka’s fight with Alex Pereira for the vacant light heavyweight title topped the bill in New York on Saturday night.

Trump has been attending UFC events in recent years and there was speculation all week that he would be at the Garden on Saturday night.

The crowd got their wish shortly before the start of the main card when Trump made a grand entrance.

But the former president is currently embroiled in a number of legal battles. including a civil fraud lawsuit in New York and four criminal charges.

Two concern his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, while one concerns his handling of classified documents and another concerns false accounting allegations involving hush money.

Trump even took the stand earlier this week as part of the civil fraud trial in New York.

Trump entered the Garden just before the featherweight fight between Diego Lopes and Pat Sabatini.

Lopes ultimately won that fight with a first-round knockout at 1:30.

The next fight ended the same way just a second later – with Benoit Saint-Denis delivering a head kick and punches to rival Matt Frevola in their lightweight match.

Earlier on Saturday, Trump said held a campaign rally in Claremont, New Hampshire.

He used the meeting to portray Biden as senile – and falsely called Barack Obama president.

“We have a man in the White House who can’t put two sentences together and who can’t find his way off this stage,” Trump told the packed crowd.

His comments came hours after 80-year-old Biden suffered an embarrassing moment of confusion when he stumbled over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

It was revealed that Trump would expand his first-term immigration policies to include large-scale roundups of people to be held in large camps awaiting deportation if he is re-elected in 2024.

Trump’s immigration plans if he is re-elected were first reported in The New York Times on Saturday and based on interviews with several advisers, including Stephen Miller, who oversaw Trump’s first-term immigration policies.

The report described Trump’s plans as “an attack on immigration on a scale unseen in modern American history” and said it aimed to deport millions of people every year, including those who have been in the United States for decades settle.

Trump made no mention of the idea of ​​setting up large camps to detain people in his Claremont appearance.

The Biden-Harris campaign in a statement called Trump’s immigration plans “extreme, racist, cruel policies” that are “intended to incite fear and divide us, betting a fearful nation is the way he wins this election.”

Among other measures, Trump would revive his ban on the entry of people from certain Muslim-majority countries, according to the newspaper.

He would revive other tough policies, including the denial of asylum claims in the COVID-19 era, although this time the denials would be based on claims that migrants are carrying other infectious diseases, it continued.

Trump wants to speed up deportations by vastly expanding a form of removal that does not require hearings.

To assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in major roundups of undocumented immigrants, Trump would reassign federal agents and replace local police and National Guard troops voluntarily assigned by Republican states, the report said.

He would ease pressure on ICE detention facilities by building massive camps where detainees can be held while their cases are processed while awaiting deportation.

To underwrite the massive operation if Congress refused, Trump would divert Pentagon funds, as he did with his border wall during his first term, the Times said.

“We will stop the invasion at our southern border and begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” Trump said on Saturday.
