At UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Donald Trump greeted everyone with his usual flair, but when Cheryl Hines, the wife of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stepped forward for a handshake, however, the business tycoon just walked away. Trump’s entrances to UFC events have practically become their own tradition—big walk-ins, larger-than-life energy, and handshakes all around. But this time, it was more about aura farming.

It wasn’t subtle, either. Hines definitely leaned in, smiling and ready to exchange pleasantries like everyone else, but Donald Trump turned course and continued as if she didn’t exist. The moment, captured on camera and now extensively shared online, immediately stood out—not just because of the snub, but also because of who she is. Hines is more than just a celebrity or a member of the crowd; she is the wife of one of Trump’s current political supporters.

In this political triangle, Cheryl Hines is a somewhat reluctant figure because she has publicly expressed her displeasure with her husband’s Trump support in the past, and when Trump passed her by, it almost seemed intentional—as if he remembered every interview, every headline. However, it is worth noting that RFK Jr. has frequently made headlines for his cozying up to Trump, even calling him a better option than Joe Biden and Harris during the presidential elections.

Intentional or simply a high-energy mistake, the clip ended up being the night’s unexpected high point. In a night full of vicious action, it was a handshake that made people talk, and the atmosphere around the Octagon shifted from fighters to power struggles, politics, and a single, quiet walk-by that could potentially rekindle tensions between Trump and one of his most prominent supporters. In fact, it became the topic of massive buzz online, as fans couldn’t help but share their reactions.

Fans share their thoughts on Donald Trump’s aura farming move

Cheryl came forward, ready for a handshake, but Trump turned and walked away as if she didn’t exist. No eye contact. There was no acknowledgment, just aura farming. Fans online captured every second of it. Ahead of the elections, Kennedy told TMZ that Cheryl was uneasy with her husband’s support for the president. So when Trump ghosted her handshake as if it were personal, many fans suspected it wasn’t a coincidence—it was payback. “She deserved it,” some said clearly, stoking the viral fire even more. The video quickly went viral, with fans tweeting reactions like, “aura on 1000000” and “damn he left her hanging.” For someone who is accustomed to making headlines, this moment was tailor-made for social media chaos.

To be honest, Trump did not even flinch. It was as if ignoring her was simply part of the routine. So, to nobody’s surprise, fans went gaga over the power move, “Damn, I didn’t know you can farm Aura…let’s go!!” The moment was quickly transformed into comic gold by fans. One commenter joked, “I feel bad for RFK he’s gonna hear it from his wife allll year.” while another wrote, “Snubbed Cheryl Hines lol.” “So happy I’m watching this illegally,” was another user’s peak internet humor, summing up just how unserious the comment section had become in the best way possible.

Still, not all viewers believed Trump did it on purpose. Some jumped to his defense, saying, “He didn’t snub her, he just didn’t see her because he gets caught up in the moment.” And perhaps that is true. But we’re talking about Donald Trump, who lives and breaths headline energy. Whether deliberate or not, the moment became peak Trump content: controversial, meme-worthy, and somehow more significant than the actual UFC fights at the event. What do you think? Was it intentional? Let us know in the comments.
