Dana White's statement: 

"I’m on a plane right now flying to Italy and my phone has been blowing up with text messages from people informing me [Trump] was shot," White wrote. "I am absolutely SICK to my stomach and in complete shock. I still don’t know how bad it is or if he’s ok.

“But [Mick Maynard] just sent me this picture and I’m praying President Trump is 100% healthy. This image perfectly reflects EXACTLY the man I know Donald Trump to be. He is the toughest, most resilient, AMERICAN BAD ASS on this planet. I hope the weak coward that shot him gets what he deserves, and I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!”

After the assassination attempt, even Logan Paul has shown support for Donald Trump following Conor McGregor and Dana White, complimenting his fortitude in surviving the incident.
