Is Sean O'Malley's photo with Trump a bold move or a risky mistake?

By now, we are all aware of the fact that Sean O’Malley is a supporter of Donald Trump. He let the world know of his support for the former President of the United States when he uploaded a skit of himself and his coach Tim Welch titled, ‘If Trump Fought Biden.’ In the video, Welch, who plays Trumps, knocks out Joe Biden, played by Sean O’Malley.

And while they surely enjoyed making the skit, the fans didn’t approve of it. And maybe that is why when Sean O’Malley uploaded a picture with Donald Trump on his social media, O’Malley’s father especially issued a warning to his son and urged him to delete the picture. But why?

Well, in a recent interview, the Featherweight king surely had an interesting anecdote to share. He revealed that after finally getting to meet Donald Trump in person; he uploaded a picture on the internet with the former president. However, his father feared that the Democrats would start rallying against O’Malley, and that surely would not be a pleasant sight to behold. As a result, the 29-year-old received a call from his father, who urged him to take the picture down.

He said, “Me and Trump. You know what we did after that show, baby! My dad called me. He was like, ‘That was sweet you met Trump. You should probably take that down.’ I’m like, ‘Why?’ He’s like, ‘What if Democrats get a hold of that?’ I was like, ‘Holysh*t, you are almost 60…’ I’m like, ‘You watch too much of f**king news.” Well, being the fearless man that he is, O’Malley decided not to remove the picture and let the world know who he supports in this election.

Well, it seems like the entire world is hooked on the upcoming elections. The debate in which Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Republican and Democratic candidates, respectively, participated on Tuesday, garnered an audience of 67.1 million viewers, significantly higher than the one held in July by Trump and the then-Democratic candidate, President Joe Biden. According to data published by ABC News, which organized a panel discussion between the two candidates, 67.1 million people followed the debate through the different platforms of the network. A major credit for such a hike in ratings can be attributed to Trump, who has made some interesting suggestions during his rallies. One of which was for Dana White as he asked him to start a new MMA promotion.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Sean O'Malley's photo with Trump a bold move or a risky mistake?

Have an interesting take?

Former President Donald Trump again attacked immigrants during a rally back in June by calling them “violent” and proposing that they should have their own fighting league, similar to the well-known UFC. In front of a crowd in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), the Republican said that he had suggested to his friend Dana White, president of the UFC, to create a competition dedicated to immigrants with which he would earn a lot of money.

“I said, ‘Dana, I have an idea for you to make a lot of money. You’re going to go and start a new migrant fight league, only migrants.” However, he further revealed that White surely was not a big fan of the suggestion and promptly refused to partake in any such business ideas. “I think the migrant guy might win; that’s how tough they are. He didn’t like that idea too much, but actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve had.” Trump said that his idea is based on the rhetoric that newly arrived foreigners are violent. This surely did not sit well with White or the fans as soon as people started speaking out against the suggestion of the immigrant ‘Fight Club.’ What do you think of Trump’s remarks? Let us know in the comments.
