President Donald Trump received a roaring reception at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia, where Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin highlighted the crowd’s admiration for Trump’s fighting spirit. Trump entered the Wells Fargo Center to thunderous “USA!” chants and a standing ovation, flanked by allies like Elon Musk and Congressman Jim Jordan.
Senator Mullin, a former MMA fighter, explained that wrestling fans “respect a fighter” and see Trump as someone who “fights for them every single day.” During the event, Trump turned to Mullin and asked, “They absolutely love me here, don’t they?” Mullin replied, “They respect a fighter…and they respect you.” He emphasized that Trump’s presence resonated with attendees who value toughness and determination.
The event marked Trump’s second appearance at the NCAA wrestling championships in three years, reinforcing his connection with sports enthusiasts and working-class Americans. Mullin noted Trump’s ability to energize crowds by putting “America first” and championing policies like banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. The senator dismissed critics, arguing that Trump’s critics “hate how much he loves this country” and lack the grit admired by wrestling fans.
As Trump congratulated winners and posed for photos, the atmosphere underscored his bond with blue-collar communities. Mullin concluded, “When President Trump walked in, they chanted ‘USA!’ because they know he’s fighting for them.” The event solidified Trump’s reputation as a leader unafraid to confront challenges head-on—a quality Mullin says Americans overwhelmingly support.
