Former President Donald Trump largely received a warm welcome at the UFC 302 fight card in Newark, NJ Saturday. But one notable attendee completely gave him the cold shoulder.
As Trump made his way to his seat cage side at the Prudential Center, he eventually passed by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But Rodgers remained seated as Trump passed and did not try to shake the former president’s hand or greet him in any way.

Rodgers, of course, was very nearly Trump’s 2024 political opponent. At a recent news conference, the Jets signal caller claimed he considered retiring from football to become Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate.
“I love Bobby,” Rodgers said on May 22. “We had a couple really nice conversations; but there were really two options. It was retire and be his VP, or keep playing — and I want to keep playing.”
In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Rodgers criticized Trump — arguing that despite having four years in office he “didn’t drain the swamp,” as he pledged. Rodgers also questioned whether Trump “got scared about what he learned when he was in there.”

Who really gives a schiff!
Trump was a good President but not a great one. He did some things that were not so smart, and did not have a big payoff for America. Obviously, he’s better than a Democrat, but RFK, Jr. is a solid candidate. Not everyone has to love Trump. I wouldn’t be too hard on Rodgers.
Please tell us what things Trump did that were negative for America! You are obviously a democrat and supporting a voiceless liberal RFK who supports abortion up until birth! Yikes, where are your morals on humanity!??? RFK doesn’t stand a chance and Rogers knows that, so he would have given up his football career for nothing!
