“A great place to live,” is the first sign that greets travelers when they enter the quaint city of Butler, Pennsylvania. But on Saturday, this small town, a favorite place for Donald Trump to return to again and again, was marred by gunshots and two deaths. The Republican Presidential candidate was in the middle of addressing the crowd. But merely six minutes had passed when someone yelled, “He’s got a gun. On the roof. He’s got a gun.” The next few moments were utter chaos. Trump crouched down holding the right side of his face. Images surfaced showing blood oozing out of the 78 year old’s face.

Later, as condolences and consolation messages poured in, Conor McGregor also took to social media to laud the former President. However, in a not so surprising twist, controversial social media personality Andrew Tate’s brother, Tristan Tate also joined in. The camaraderie between the Tate brothers and McGregor is not new though. More often than not, they have voiced their appreciation for each other publicly.

Conor McGregor sympathizes with the former President

Conor McGregor has always been a Trump supporter. So it was only natural that he would comment on the heart-stopping incident that unfolded. Appreciating the GOP candidate’s dedication to his country, he wrote, “A 78 year old multiple billionaire he should be on a yacht on the med touring golf courses. But he is not. He is in Pennsylvania spitting out bullets! Running for the love of his country! God speed Donald! God bless the United States”. 

Tristan Tate, another of Trump’s avid supporters, replied to the UFC fighter’s tweet, a first of many other messages he put out later. “Thank you for this Conor,” he wrote.

As per a recent update, the 36-year-old took it a step further on Sunday as he tagged Dana White on X, and appealed, “Okay @danawhite it’s time to give @realDonaldTrump the BMF belt.”

As for The Notorious, on January 21, 2020, his proclamation for the then-president resounded far and wide. Marking the occasion of Martin Luther King Day, Trump took to X to showcase his achievements, to which McGregor called him the GOAT, and replied, “Phenomenal President. Quite possibly the USA [goat emoji]. Most certainly one of them anyway, as he sits atop the shoulders of many amazing giants that came before him. No easy feet. Early stages of term also. Incredible…” 

Furthermore, he has also talked about the Tate brothers on a few occasions, most recently addressing their run in with the law.

The Tate brothers are ready to fly to Ireland just for McGregor!

Andrew Tate probably had a good night’s sleep when he found a supporter as well known as Conor McGregor. The former professional kickboxer was not even allowed to leave Romania up until recently owing to serious allegations. But, unlike Sean Strickland, who doesn’t seem too fond of the social media influencer duo, The Mystic Mac appeared to have no problems with the Tate brothers at all.

During a livestream with Duelbits, amid dropping bombs on fellow rivals, he also took a few minutes to respond to fans’ questions about his take on Andrew and Tristan Tate. And, guess what happened? The 36-year-old opined that the allegations against the brothers appeared rather unclear. “I like Andrew Tate, you know, from what I see and hear, and the brothers too. I don’t know much about the criminal aspects surrounding them—you don’t get much information. From what I have seen and heard, they are okay in my books. Top G,” said Conor McGregor. It seems like the Tate brothers have their fair share of people who like and dislike them in the UFC.

On the other hand, if you ask the brothers, they’re also ready to throw their weight behind the MMA legend. Entertaining the idea of The Irishman running for president, Tristan, said, “I think that’s a wonderful idea…I don’t know Connor, but Connor is a warrior. Connor fights his own battles and he knows violence very well…we are 25% Irish and if Connor McGregor runs in any Irish election, I…will fly to Ireland..to vote for his a**,” during an episode of the Tate Speech podcast. To this, Andrew had also affirmed, “We will personally vote for Conor McGregor.”

On another occasion, the older Tate brother had also advised the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion to “run for political office” after his official retirement.

Notably, Conor McGregor had hinted at his wish to run for office in December 2023. While that hasn’t come to fruition yet, the friendship between the MMA fighter and the notorious brothers seems to have taken another step forward!
