NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The appearance of former President Donald Trump at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden stirred various reactions among the audience.
Trump received a largely positive response upon his arrival, but it appeared that Nia Renee Hill, the wife of comedian Bill Burr, had given him a double bird.
As the camera focused on Trump, viewers also noticed Bill Burr and Nia Renee Hill, a producer and actress, seated nearby.
At first glance, everything seemed normal, but a closer look suggested that Hill might have been giving Trump a less-than-flattering gesture, often referred to as the 'double bird', as her own unique form of salute.
The 30th anniversary celebration of a prominent campaign held at Madison Square Garden, often hailed as the world's most famous arena, was a star-studded event featuring celebrities from theater, sports, and film.
Throughout the evening, fans were treated to sightings of renowned personalities like Zac Efron, Cillian Murphy, and Jared Leto, adding a touch of glamour and excitement to the occasion.
