It was supposed to be another typical Trump moment at a UFC event—enter loudly, soak up the applause, and let the aura do the rest. But UFC 314 in Miami became something else entirely when Donald Trump, in full showman style, made his way to the cage-side seats and began greeting fans and friends. One by one, hands were shaken and nods were exchanged—until he reached Cheryl Hines. Or rather, didn’t. The cameras showed the President of the United States passing by Hines without even looking at her! And he played this game of ignoring the wife of his own political supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So, as expected, the internet did what it does best, give us some solid reactions.

Cheryl came forward, ready for a handshake, but Trump turned and walked away as if she didn’t exist. No eye contact. There was no acknowledgment, just aura farming. Fans online captured every second of it. The video quickly went viral, with fans tweeting reactions like, “aura on 1000000” and “damn he left her hanging.” For someone who is accustomed to making headlines, this moment was tailor-made for social media chaos. To be honest, Trump did not even flinch. It was as if ignoring her was simply part of the routine. Liked the above tweets? Well, the internet was flooded with it.
“Snubbed Cheryl Hines lol”
“I feel bad for RFK he’s gonna hear it from his wife allll year”
“So happy I’m watching this illegally”
“Damn, I didn’t know you can farm Aura…let’s go!!”
For those who have followed the Kennedy-Trump dynamic, this moment did not seem so random. Cheryl Hines had previously shown significant opposition to Trump, even as RFK Jr. sided with him. Ahead of the elections, Kennedy told TMZ that Cheryl was uneasy with his support for the president. So when Trump ghosted her handshake as if it were personal, many fans suspected it wasn’t a coincidence—it was payback. “She deserved it,” some said clearly, stoking the viral fire even more.
Still, not all viewers believed Trump did it on purpose. Some jumped to his defense, saying, “He didn’t snub her, he just didn’t see her because he gets caught up in the moment.” And perhaps that is true. But we’re talking about Donald Trump, who lives and breaths headline energy. Whether deliberate or not, the moment became peak Trump content: controversial, meme-worthy, and somehow more significant than the actual UFC fights on the event.
