Trump sat at the big event with some very special people, like Elon Musk, Dana White, Mike Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kid Rock. He got a loud and happy welcome with cheers of “USA! USA!” Trump was also seen hanging out with UFC host Joe Rogan, Tulsi Gabbard, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
“If people at home could hear the sound in this room right now. It is so loud!” Joe Rogan told the people watching the fight on TV when Trump walked in. “It’s always loud when he comes in, but now that he’s won [the election], now that he’s the president again, oh my God!”

A special video for Trump played on the big screen at the Garden. It showed the moment he raised his fist in the air after he stayed strong through his first scary situation in October.
