White also used his connections to leverage appearances for Trump on friendly, right-leaning podcasts with millions of young listeners.
White was upfront about his motivation in connecting Trump with so-called manosphere or bro-casters, saying the move was intended to tap into young voters.
“You’re getting conversations in these podcasts, and you yourself, as a young kid, get to really see who Donald Trump is,” White told The New Yorker.
Still, even as the UFC boss backs away from future political campaigns, he remains firmly in Trump’s corner as he returns to the White House.
“Donald Trump is tougher and more badass than anybody,” White told The New Yorker.
