The President’s affinity for sports knows no limits; from the Super Bowl and Daytona 500 to the NCAA wrestling championship finals and the LIV Golf Tournament, Donald Trump has time and time again marked his presence at these significant events. This trend continues on into his second term. However, it is his recent presence at the highly publicized UFC 314 fight event that has raised discussion in circles beyond sport.
The week following the Florida-hosted LIV Golf Tournament saw Trump demonstrating an unexpected triple feat: he not only attended but also took part in the challenges at all three Trump National Golf Club sites. The four-day long participation commenced on April 3, 2025, shortly after he arrived in Florida.
Following this sports-focused visit, he then returned on April 11, 2025, to Palm Beach, marking his tenth visit to Florida and his eighth homecoming to his private club since his inauguration on Jan 20, 2025.
Jumping into the next trip without missing a beat, on April 12, President Trump took to the skies on Air Force One, heading to Miami, Florida. His destination being the Kaseya Center, the venue hosting an event prominent in the sports world – the UFC 314 bout.
Throughout these visits, the President is rarely alone. Members of his family and close confidants are frequently in his entourage. Some of the family members joined him for the UFC 314 match, adding to the high-profile nature of the event.
In particular, the UFC 314 was observed by several Trump family members – Kai Madison Trump, Donald Trump III, and Spencer Trump, all of whom are Donald Trump Jr.’s children. However, other family members such as Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump were absent.
Upon arriving at the Kaseya Center, President Trump and his young companions were escorted by none other than the UFC CEO himself, Dana White. This squad caught not a few eyes as they made their entrance.
Midway through the journey home to Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump took a moment to introduce his granddaughter Kai Madison Trump to the reporters on board Air Force One, in a somewhat unexpected move.
The President’s 2025 inauguration marked the beginning of a highly active period. He’s frequently seen in his home state, Florida, with over ten visits already under his belt, nine of which were to his primary residence, Mar-a-Lago.
While his presidential responsibilities mandate traveling and signage of legislation, he has consistently allotted time for sporting events that catch his interest. These have ranged from Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Louisiana, to the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida, via the NCAA wrestling championship finals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the 2025 LIV Golf Tournament in Florida.
His most recent interest was the UFC 314 match held at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The event was high-profile, as you would expect, with a number of notable attendees.
In the VIP seats alongside President Trump were various luminaries, including Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla; Musk’s son X Æ A-12 Musk; Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Health and Human Services Secretary; Cheryl Hines, RFK Jr’s wife; FBI Director Kash Patel; Texas Senator Ted Cruz; Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State; Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence; and Byron Donalds, Florida congressman.
While certainly garnering attention for his keen interest in major sporting events, it is undeniable that President Trump’s recurrent presence carries an influence over the entire scene; one that echoes well beyond the confines of the stadiums and fight arenas he frequents.
