President Donald Trump and several members of his administration were at UFC 314 in Miami on Saturday night at the Kaseya Center.
Trump entered with Dana White and some of his grandchildren, including granddaughter Kai, to the song "Taking Care of Business" and to wild applause from the crowd. The New York Post even termed it a "hero's welcome" from the crowd who chanted "U.S.A!"
Epic walkout at UFC tonight...

Folks in attendance with Trump included Elon Musk and his son X, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with his wife, Cheryl Hines.
It was the moment Trump greeted Kennedy that caused some controversy when it appeared he just missed seeing Hines' hand and walked by her, which some took as a snub, and she was a bit surprised.

Some, of course, wanted to make that into something, and the media was immediately on it.
But he did go back to her, so that ended that question.

When Kennedy was sworn in in February, Trump greeted her warmly, including a hug and a kiss. So, the media trying to make something of it appeared to be reaching for something that wasn't really there.
Shaquille O'Neal came over to greet him during the event for a big handshake and also got a friendly clap on the back.

He also had friendly greetings with Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy.
Trump even slipped in a little "Trump dance" to the cheers of the crowd and the amusement of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Fighter Dominick Reyes acknowledged Trump after his knockout win over Nikita Krylov, even giving him the "golf swing" salute that Trump does.

He even did a golf swing for Trump 🤣
Elon Musk and Lil X are sitting ringside with Trump too, and as usual, X looks like he’s having a hell of a time 😆 pic.twitter.com/Rp1jI6vByz
Little X was living his best life, cheering the win, waving his arms and program around. He really enjoys hanging out with the adults and getting to go to these things. He seems to have affection for Trump, as we saw during his jumping across the White House lawn with him.

Trump attended a UFC event in November after he won and also was triumphantly greeted at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Fans at these events truly do embrace him.
