With less than two weeks to go before the Presidential elections, the race is heating up. With the polls tightening, the election campaign is warming up with both sides going all out to woo voters and do everything they can to turn the fight in their favor.
But, there was a rare moment of levity recently as Donald Trump was joined by Kyle Forgeard from the Canadian YouTube group ‘Nelk Boys’ on a plane. Forgeard, of course, is a supporter of Trump. That is why it was surprising to see the YouTuber give the former President a book that he claimed listed Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris‘ achievements in office. “I know you don’t like her but she did do a lot of great things if you read it in this book,” Forgeard said.
Trump then took the book and opened it, only to find out that it was blank, eliciting laughter from everybody, including Trump. “That’s Kamala’s greatest achievement,” the Nelk member reiterated, tongue firmly in his cheek.

And the ex-POTUS was predictably tickled and insisted Forgeard show the book to the camera. “That’s very good I love that. They’re always working. Show it to them, that’s good. That’s very good,” a bemused Trump said.

This whole affair was caught on camera and uploaded to the Nelk social media pages, to the amusement of fans. But perhaps no one was more amused than UFC star and ardent Trump supporter, Colby Covington, who wholeheartedly agreed with Harris and her ‘record’. “Only facts 😂😂,” Covington wrote. And it was not surprising to see ‘Chaos’ commenting on this post since he is first and foremost a Trump supporter, even if that leads to him losing a title.

So much so that Trump was present ringside when ‘Chaos’ took on Leon Edwards for the welterweight title at UFC 296 last year. However, according to Covington, his support for Trump had some very serious consequences for him. How serious you may ask? Well, ‘Chaos’ believes that his support cost him his championship bout against ‘Rocky’.
The former interim champ lost a unanimous decision to Edwards at UFC 296. However, the reason ‘Chaos’ gave for losing that decision was that he supported Trump, which did not go down well with the judges, who ruled against him out of spite. However, that doesn’t seem like the case since Edwards quite clearly and unambiguously dominated Covington for almost the entire five rounds of their clash.
