Trump says it is a ‘great honor’ to have UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal’s support

U.S. President Donald Trump has praised Jorge Masvidal for his continued support on the campaign trail.

Trump’s comments came after the UFC welterweight contender teamed up with Donald Trump Jr. to campaign on behalf of the U.S. President ahead of the 2020 elections. His campaigning efforts included taking part in a ‘Fighters Against Socialism’ bus tour, which made stops in Orlando, Coconut Creek, and Miami, as well as speaking on the supposed dangers of socialism and communism in an attempt to court Hispanic votes in Florida.

During the final stop on the bus tour, Masvidal was joined by Cuban American businessman Maximo Alvarez as well as senator Marco Rubio.
