Jake Paul defends Trump at inauguration: "Today is about unity"

On Monday, at the Capitol Rotunda, Donald Trump's inauguration was attended by Jake Paul, a renowned boxer.

In November, Paul became a strong advocate for the president after he won the election against Vice President Kamala Harris. Additionally, the boxing star expressed his support for Trump's victory by stating, "truth and god won in America."

On Inauguration Day, he posted twice on X.

"Unity is the focus today. Fists down, togetherness up. Proud to be here. God bless America," he wrote.

He stated that any American who does not support Trump after his speech is unpatriotic and does not have the country's best interests at heart.

In Washington, D.C., with his brother Logan and UFC star Conor McGregor, Paul shared a photo of the trio on X.

The boxer had been firm in his belief that God intervened and saved Trump from the July 13 assassination attempt, and saw it as a sign to return him to the presidency.

In July, he stated that it didn't matter whether it was Democrats or Republicans in power, the government's path was leading to catastrophe.

"I believe God intervened, saying, "We need this guy right now. Everyone must switch sides. We cannot have a close election - we need a landslide. This guy must return and make America great again.""

At the inauguration, Dana White, Miriam Adelson, and Wayne Gretzky were among the other sports figures present in the audience.
