Aaron Rodgers and Donald Trump (Picture from UFC/Twitter)
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers posted a picture of him shaking hands with former President Donald Trump at UFC 302.
Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers — who had been considered to be a running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — was in the crowd near Trump for the major event.
Trump, who was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records on Thursday, received a rousing ovation from the crowd.
At Newark’s Prudential Center on Saturday, Trump arrived just after mixed martial artist (MMA) Sean Strickland, who was welcomed with yells of “USA, USA!” Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White escorted him and sat at the ringside.
Footage showed Trump walking past Aaron Rodgers, who did not get up to greet him.
New footage has now emerged of the moment Trump raises a fist and salutes the fans after they started a loud chant of “f— Joe Biden.”
Behind Trump was Aaron Rodgers, who could be seen smiling and talking with another man at that moment.
Aaron Rodgers’ reaction didn’t go unnoticed on social media:
The jury in Trump’s trial determined that he had unlawfully impacted the 2016 election by concealing a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who has maintained that she had a consensual sexual encounter with the billionaire a decade earlier. This discovery coincides with the celebrity’s riotous greeting in New Jersey. A maximum prison sentence of four years is imposed for each crime.
On July 11, Trump will be sentenced; nevertheless, it is doubtful that he will receive a jail term. Being the first president in US history to be found guilty of a felony, he is furious about the ‘rigged’ trial and believes it was done for political purposes as his campaign for reelection in 2024 takes momentum.

Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura and quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets were the top two candidates for 2024 presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running partners, via ABC News.
Kennedy has made his affiliations with Rodgers and Ventura known to the public. He shared a picture of himself and Rodgers hiking on social media while Ventura, a former professional wrestler turned politician, showed up at his event in Arizona.
Additionally, both men have embraced certain disproved assertions in common with Kennedy: Ventura has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, and Rodgers has made false statements regarding COVID-19 vaccinations.
