Donald Trump faced challenges to secure his position in the White House after the election. How influential was Dana White in Trump’s victory?
Following a period of uncertainty, the American people chose Trump over Kamala Harris, marking the beginning of his second term as president at the age of 78. While he garnered strong support, Trump’s campaign received a boost from his appearances on various podcasts, which provided insight into his character.
One notable podcast Trump featured on was the popular Nelk Boys show, where host Kyle Forgeard revealed that Dana White played a significant role in Trump’s success.
Forgeard remarked, “I’ve noticed many people taking credit for the election results, but the true credit belongs to Dana White. He paved the way for Trump to connect with the younger generation, starting with us. I can attest to this, as in March 2022, Trump had never been on a podcast.”
Forgeard went on to explain how White encouraged Trump to explore the world of podcasting, urging him to appear on the Nelk Boys podcast.

“Even though Trump was initially unfamiliar with the Nelk Boys and podcasts in general, his appearance on our show garnered 12 million views in 24 hours. This opened his eyes to the podcasting realm,” Forgeard added.
“Dana White deserves more recognition for his role in Trump’s campaign. He also played a part in arranging Trump’s appearance on the Joe Rogan show, which was the icing on the cake,” Forgeard continued.
