Miami – President Donald Trump said the crowd's “legendary” response to his arrival at UFC 314 in Miami this weekend early Sunday morning was a sign of the administration's success.
Speaking to the press early Sunday morning in the Air Force, Trump responded to the roaring chant of the “American” crowd as he and several members of his cabinet arrived at the Caseya Center.

“Slightly legendary,” Trump said. “It was legendary. It's a great honor to have that kind of applause, because you're doing a really good job. If you're not doing a good job, you'll get the opposition.”

The president's granddaughter, Kai Trump, was also present.
Paulina Dedaj of Fox News Digital was in Air Force 1 on Sunday morning and thought about the rough welcome of the crowd to Kai.
Trump came out at UFC 314 and said, “USA!”
“It was really cool, it was really cool,” she said with a smile. “I thought it was great. This was my second UFC fight and I really enjoyed it.”
The president called the fighters on Saturday night “modern warriors” and said he spoke to each of them after their fight.
“I thought it was great. I thought they were all great. Have you seen it before? Have you ever witnessed it? Is it the right thing? They are seriously tough people.” “Each of them came out at the end and they were great. I mean, they're all modern warriors, who are warriors.”
