President Donald Trump always makes a grand entrance at UFC fights, and the most recent UFC 314, held at Kaseya Center in Miami, was no different, except for maybe someone Trump missed on the way in.
According to the New York Post, the president appeared to "snub" Sec. Robert F. Kennedy's wife, Cheryl Hines, during his walk-in entrance to the fight, causing many to wonder why that might happen.
Hines, known for her part in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," stood alongside those greeting the president, even extending her hand for a handshake, only to come up empty.
Video of the moment quickly went viral across social media, with many speculating as to what exactly happened in that moment.
The president had no problem giving Sec. Kennedy a hearty embrace as he made his way to his seats to greet UFC president Dana White and other supporters, but completely skipped Hines' greeting.
The Post noted:
Hines pursed her face and flitted her hand in the wind as Trump brushed on, making his way to greet supporters and UFC host Joe Rogan. Kennedy appeared to laugh off the snub to his wife.
Instead of receiving a handshake, Hines had to settle for patting the president on his back as he moved past her, seemingly unaware that she was even there. Hines was able to greet the president's granddaughter, Kai Trump.
However, as the moment spread across social media, it was revealed in other video footage that Trump simply didn't see Hines' first attempt at a handshake, and later even walked up to her and shook her hand, quashing any rumors that he purposely ignored her.
No, President Trump did not “snub” RFK Jr’s wife, Cheryl Hines.
He didn’t see her hand, and went back after he was done greeting Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier, as seen in the picture below. pic.twitter.com/qoX0Yr0G0I

It wasn't that much of a stretch to consider Trump actually did snub her, as she was clearly not a fan of Trump's during the campaign, admitting that she only voted for him because of her husband's potential position in the administration.
Users across social media weighed in on the moment.
"Appreciate you posting this - I saw multiple clips where he walked past her after greeting RFKjr and thought that was odd. Grateful for the clarification!" one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Some people are trying really hard to create drama. I hope people are paying attention because it’s almost always the same crowd that does it."
The "snubbing" was a nothingburger, and the video proves it.
