Tense UFC Moment: Trump’s Awkward Encounter with Cheryl Hines Goes Viral
At UFC 314 in Miami, a brief but tense moment caught the spotlight when former President Donald Trump appeared to snub a handshake from Cheryl Hines—actress and wife of presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
While greeting others, including RFK Jr. and Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, Trump seemed to overlook Hines as she extended her hand, creating an awkward scene that quickly made waves online.
The moment, broadcast live on ESPN, sparked debate and drew sharp reactions across social media.
Hines, known for her role on Curb Your Enthusiasm, appeared to laugh off the situation, and Trump later did shake her hand during a more relaxed exchange.
The incident comes amid heightened political tension, as Hines has openly criticized Trump and distanced herself from his 2024 campaign—though she did attend a Mar-a-Lago event in late 2023.
Despite the awkward encounter, the evening offered a glimpse into the unusual intersections of celebrity, politics, and campaign rivalries.
