Throughout his rise to fame, Joe Burrow has not said much publicly about his political opinions or who he supports and identifies with. But during a recent event, he sure did look comfortable and excited when he got the chance to meet and talk to former United States President Donald Trump.
During the UFC 299 for the fight between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera in Miami on Saturday night, Donald Trump and Joe Burrow were both in attendance, and they seemed to have a pretty warm interaction.
In a video shared to social media, Burrow was seen chatting, laughing, and smiling while talking to Trump at the event along with San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa, a college teammate of Burrow during his time at Ohio State.

Burrow and Bosa even posed for a picture with Trump which was then shared on social media by Dan Scavino Jr., who is Trump’s senior advisor and his former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications.

Obviously, this interaction between Burrow and Trump led to a lot of reactions on social media
This is it. This is what will finally make Swifty Chiefs fans actually hate the Bengals as much as other Chiefs fans.
It’s their first real sports rivalry now. I’m so happy for them 🥹 https://t.co/Chb32upBE8

Burrow literally just existed, quit hating on the man.
Bosa on the other hand looked like a 12 year old girl meeting Taylor Swift https://t.co/jhqeaYXCXm

You can tell Joe is just being polite while Bosa is enamored. Joe is intelligent and not a racist, so he isn’t phased by the grifter who gains supporters with lies and fear-mongering. https://t.co/afn8F6Er2s

This certainly isn’t an endorsement from Burrow, but it is clear that he enjoyed getting to meet Trump.
