Trump talks with Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson, Guy Fieri, Joe Rogan at UFC 290
Donald Trump was photographed with Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan and Guy Fieri at the UFC 290 event in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Jack White accused the celebrities of “normalizing” Trump by meeting him at public events.
“Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book,” White wrote in his post. “That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate. -Jack White III”
White often uses social media to put Trump on blast.
The UFC 290 event is not the first public event where Wahlberg has mingled with Trump. The actor played in a celebrity golf tournament with the former President over a decade ago.
“He was very Donald Trump-like, talking about the things that he does, things that he has, business interests, properties, stuff like that,” Wahlberg once told The Guardian about his first meeting with Trump. “But he wasn’t ever mean or rude. I don’t think he asked me too many personal questions, or about what I do.”
