But when the president of Ultimate Fighting Championship and friend of President Donald Trump urged Trump to consider quitting the presidential race after July’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, even he was shut up by Trump’s answer.
But for longtime Trump supporters, the line sums the approach to politics that put Trump back in the White House.
The revelation came during an interview White gave to British journalist Piers Morgan that went public Monday on Morgan’s “Uncensored” YouTube program.
The interview is below:
“At some point in life, we all go through hard times, ups and down and all,” White told Morgan. “Assassination attempt. I mean, his guy was this close to being assassinated. And the way he fought through that and bounced back from it is just …”
White said, he was flying to Italy when he heard the news that Trump had been shot on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
When he spoke to the then-candidate later on the phone, he said he urged Trump to drop out of the race.
“I told him to stop so many many times,” White said. “But the thing is, with President Trump is, he believes in God, and he’s very religious.”
“He told me, he thinks, ‘God must have had a plan for me. He wanted me to survive that bullet,” Morgan responded.
“He believes that to his core. That God has spared his life to be the president and do the things that he is going to do over the next four years,” White said.
“I can’t quit,” White quoted Trump as saying. “You don’t ever quit. You never quit.”
