UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell recently made an appearance on Tim Welch’s podcast, where the Arkansas native opened up about his deep skepticism toward Donald Trump, going as far as to question whether the reported attempts on the former and current president’s life were even real.
The conversation shifted to politics after Welch mentioned a planned terrorist attack on a UFC event that had reportedly been thwarted. That prompted Mitchell to explain why he no longer trusts politicians or mainstream narratives.
“I don’t even believe all of this stuff now,” Mitchell said. “When Trump was running the first time, I believed everything he said. And then he got in the second time and he did everything opposite of what he said.”
Mitchell then took his skepticism a step further by questioning the reported assassination attempts against Trump.
“I don’t even believe Trump was sh0t. I don’t believe Trump was sh0t at,” he said. “He apparently he’s had three assassination attempts. And I do not believe in any of the three.”
He continued by explaining that his distrust extends far beyond Trump himself.
“I do not believe anything that comes out of his mouth. I do not believe anything that comes out of his son’s mouth. I do not believe anything out of the media,” Mitchell said. “So when they say, ‘Oh, we stopped the bad guys. We did this.’ I don’t believe it, brother.”
Welch then brought up Trump’s recent public friction with Israel, asking Mitchell for his thoughts. The UFC fighter dismissed the situation as political theater.
“I think it’s all a lie,” Mitchell said. “They’re trying to get you ready for these midterms or these re-elections coming up in a couple years, and they’re going to say, ‘Oh, look, we’ve parted ways with Israel, with the devil. Oh, we’re back for the American people.'”
According to Mitchell, he believes such moves are timed to influence voters.
“They’ll do that right before a re-election to try to soften you up,” he said. “It’s all fake.”
Mitchell then shifted the discussion toward U.S. foreign policy, expressing outrage over what he believes are civilian casualties caused by American military actions.
“They have literally k*lled innocent children on behalf of Israel,” Mitchell said. “There’s nothing more despicable, disgusting, and outright deserving of going to h3ll than to harm innocent children in Iraq and Iran and Yemen, all these places where they’re dropping b0mbs and killing kids.”
He argued that those actions are driven by power rather than principle.
“It’s despicable. And they’re doing it for control,” Mitchell said. “And then they’re going to throw a party at the White House and then try to make people think, ‘Hey, we’re for you because we threw this cool party.’ You’re not for me.”
The 29-year-old added that his frustrations extend well beyond Trump, criticizing what he sees as corruption throughout the political system.
“I don’t like United States military members d*ad while your son profits off of his oil shares,” Mitchell said. “I don’t like anything that’s going on. And they’re the worst snakes you could possibly imagine.”
He concluded with one of his strongest remarks of the interview.
“I actually don’t even think some of these people are human,” Mitchell said. “I think some of them are actual demons.”
