Last month, country star Jelly Roll’s interaction with President-elect Donald Trump at the UFC 309 event held at Madison Square Garden ignited a fervent conversation on social media, exacerbated by body language analysis.
Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, exhibited undeniable excitement when meeting Trump, a reaction he chose to defend on this week’s episode of his wife, Bunnie XO’s podcast, “Dumb Blonde.”
“I don’t care who you were, if you were in that building, the hair on your skin stood up,” he said of Trump’s grand entrance in MSG. “And you looked, and all you’re watching is the president-elect, who got elected like, 8 days ago, walking in, with his entire cabinet with him – almost. You know what I mean? And his kids and his grandchildren. And it was powerful, dude. Like I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on.”
