One of the most significant comments came from the Turning Point USA former columnist and chief creative officer Benny Johnson, a strong Trump backer. He posted a picture of the two celebrities to Twitter and noted, “Trump in FlavorTown.”

Being shared on July 8, the event day, Johnson’s comment appealed to several users and received around 9,000 likes. Still, another Twitter user, IamKristy, with 49,600 followers, posted, “I never thought I would ever see Guy Fieri meet Trump, not ever.”

Many users even mocked their photos. A meme created using their photo reads, “Does this Flavortown have an extradition treaty with the U.S.?”

Another post reads, “Twitter can’t handle these two hair icons, and Trump thinks this mfs hair is as ridiculous as mine.”

Being an American restaurateur, Fieri has kept himself away from politics. However, he received huge appreciation for raising more than $21.5 million in a period of seven weeks to help unemployed restaurant workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fieri also became famous when he supported the California Restaurant Association’s lawsuit against the state’s law to ban outdoor dining during the pandemic.

Another strange thing at the UFC event that drew public attention was Trump’s talking with controversial Australian actor Mel Gibson and Republican campaign strategist Roger Stone, whom Trump pardoned after being imprisoned for conspiring to interfere in the 2016 election.
