Every time the political elite think they can knock down the movement for freedom, they deliver yet another reminder about the uphill battle ahead. The latest example of this comes from the Florida firebrand Matt Gaetz, who decided to step aside from consideration for the role of attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. Given the pushback from Senate insiders, it’s hard not to feel a twinge of disappointment and frustration among Trump supporters. The establishment just can’t help itself, can it?
But while Gaetz’s withdrawal might seem like a setback, it is essential to channel that angst into something uplifting. Over the weekend, at the historic Madison Square Garden, UFC heavyweight champ Jon “Bones” Jones showed just how political tides can shift when he honored Trump after his latest victory. The man didn’t just leave the ring—he exited as a victor in more ways than one, presenting his championship belt to the former president. Talk about making a statement!

In what can only be described as a gesture of profound mutual respect, Trump and Jones shared more than just a handshake; the moment included a heartfelt embrace that indicated real camaraderie. Anyone who witnessed the exchange would be hard-pressed not to note the genuine connection radiating between the two. It serves as a stark reminder that Trump is far from down and out, and that many still stand firmly in his corner—even in the face of a Senate ready to thwart the ever-spirited freedom movement.
After claiming his win, Jones—undoubtedly feeling the energy in the air—decided to channel the very vibe of the Trump presidency by executing a spirited rendition of the “YMCA” dance. This wasn’t just a whimsical act; oh no, it was an homage to the camaraderie and spirit that so many Trump supporters adore. Joe Rogan, a known advocate for liberty (and Trump), cheered on the gesture, showing that what happens in the Octagon can resonate far beyond its walls.
And for those who might think that gestures like these are mere antics, think again. Jones didn’t just celebrate his win with lavish praise for his own skills; he took a moment to acknowledge Jesus Christ. Now that’s a winner’s circle worthy of admiration. Telling the millions tuning in that Jesus loves them encapsulates the spirit of hope and faith many Americans yearn for in these tumultuous times. It is worth noting that this isn’t just about sport; it’s about a cultural renaissance standing boldly on the values of patriotism and devotion.
While setbacks like that of Gaetz resonate as hiccups against a long battle, events like Jones’ tribute to Trump remind everyone that the push for freedom, faith, and patriotism remains resolute. The tide hasn’t turned; it’s merely gathering strength, as more athletes unite with the message of faith and loyalty to a cause greater than themselves. With champions like Jones waving the flag high, the momentum of freedom continues to push forward.
