By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com

President Donald Trump has UFC bossman Dana White on the campaign trail with him, as the mask-less buddies went from Las Vegas to Bullhead City in Arizona and then to Phoenix.

White spoke at the Republican National Convention and has a long friendship with Trump.

White said he has been on Air Force One before and said, “It’s BAD ASS, Unfuckinbelievable, amazing!!”

Trump will contact White and ask him what he’s doing some days.

“He will just hit me up and say hey what are u doing today and i say idk today and Mr. President what am i doing today. He will say why don’t u fly to Colorado with me today. I say YUP!!!!”

White and Trump go back 20 years when he said UFC fight shows were held at Trump hotel properties in New Jersey.
