**Miami, FL –** A brief, awkward encounter between former President Donald Trump and actress Cheryl Hines at a UFC event in Miami on Saturday has ignited a firestorm of online commentary. Video footage shows Trump greeting Hines’ husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with a hug, seemingly ignoring Hines’ outstretched hand. Hines’ visible reaction of surprise and disappointment quickly went viral.
The incident highlighted a previously known rift between Hines and Trump, stemming from Hines’ past criticism of the former president’s comments about women, including his remarks about Senator Ted Cruz’s wife. Many online users found the snub humorous, referencing Hines’ comedic role in “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
However, others defended Trump, suggesting he was simply distracted before shaking hands with UFC commentator Joe Rogan and subsequently greeted Hines. The debate online showcases the highly polarized reactions to Trump and his actions, with supporters downplaying the incident while critics see it as a telling example of his behavior. While Trump did eventually shake Hines’ hand, the initial rejection remains a focal point of discussion.
