“I look at him. Looks like a regular, normal human being,” said Trump pointing at Covington. He indicated to not be intimidated by the fighter’s appearance despite the impressive performances he delivered throughout his career.
Trump then went on to narrate a hypothetical situation of bumping into Chaos at a bar, eventually starting a fight. “Let’s say he was a little in my way, I could see myself saying ‘move over’,” said the former president.
