Former US president Donald Trump faced a plethora of criticism during his tenure, with many accusing him of being a racist and an Islamophobe. However, MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz doesn't subscribe to such claims and holds the 76-year-old in high regard.

During an interview with TMZ Sports in 2020, the 45-year-old spoke about his experience of meeting the politician:

"I'm an immigrant from Egypt, and I was being told that President Trump hates Muslims, and it's not true man. The guy is for everyone. Black, white, Hispanic, Muslim, Christian, Jews; it doesn't matter who you are, he is for that... I'm not an American citizen, but I felt soo American being in there [talkig to him]. It was awesome."
