Did you catch President Trump at UFC 309 last night?

It was epic.

President Trump made a grand entrance, surrounding by his team of Elon Musk, RFK Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Tulsi Gabbard.

He completely stole the show, as we reported on earlier:

President Trump Steals the Show at UFC 309

If you missed here are some of the highlights:

You know what those clips symbolize to me?

President Trump is a man of the people -- a man for America, who is in touch with the people and truly, genuinely, connects with them.

Not only that, but he's put together the perfect team this time around to bring America -- the people's America -- back!

President Trump, surrounded by his A-team at UFC, sends a powerful message that speaks to that: "These are my people, we're unified, and we're ready to fight for you, for America!"

Plus, let's be honest, it was just plain cool.

But, of course, leave it to TDS-infected CNN to try to put a negative spin on all of this.

CNN panelist and Politico reporter Marc Caputo compared President Trump's legendary appearance at the UFC to an Ancient Roman Colosseum, with President Trump leading as a sort of "Republican Caesar" and his MAGA entourage as being "political gladiators."

Watch here:

The Daily Caller reported:

The Bulwark national political reporter Marc Caputo said Sunday on CNN that President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks look like “ancient Rome,” comparing it to being surrounded by “political gladiators.”

Over the course of the past week, Trump has revealed his picks for top positions within his Cabinet, with Democrats reacting to some of them in extreme measures. On “Inside Politics with Manu Raju,” CNN political analyst Astead Herndon said that Trump’s nominations have not only forced Republicans to choose where their allegiance lies, but also noted how the nominees have become stars, making their first appearance at UFC 309 in New York City on Saturday evening.

“He’s flood the zone with these picks and forced Republicans to choose. I think it’s interesting to me that he brought Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. to the UFC event last night. He is, frankly, giving, I think, supporter-based permission structure. He’s made these folks stars over the course of this campaign,” Herndon said.

“He promised these kinds of figures having prominent places in this administration, and he’s delivering it. For a lot of those supporters, that is the point of the Trump vote,” Herndon added. “So I don’t think that’s the fullness of the electorate we saw on Tuesday. I think, for a lot of people, they backed Trump probably as a rejection of the administration and weren’t thinking of this as an endorsement of every single thing he’s talked about.”

Mediaite also said:

On Inside Politics, host Manu Raju noted Trump had announced some controversial cabinet appointments and asked if Republicans in Congress had the political standing to oppose them.

Panelist Astead Herndon said Trump had elevated people such as Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy to superstars who his voters might want more of.

“If you’re a Republican voting to block one of these cabinet nominees because you say you don’t like Tulsi Gabbard, how do you expend the political capital and the risk, the backlash from Trump,” Raju said. “It’s going to be very difficult for them and Trump knows that.”

Herndon replied, “He is frankly giving, I think, supporter-base permission structure. And he’s made these folks stars over the course of this campaign.” Caputo replied:

Yeah. I mean, and it really looks like ancient Rome here, this is sort of the conquering Republican Caesar who’s going into the Colosseum and everyone’s cheering, and he’s got his political gladiators with him. That appearance isn’t just about him enjoying the applause. He’s sending a message to the Senate. Like, not only are you entertained, but these are my people and are you willing to fight? Because here’s who I have.

Well, there you have it, folks:

These folks on X had the perfect response:

 

Sue made an excellent point:

Some other people on X are questioning, if this is how the left sees Trump, is that even a bad thing?
