White also spoke during the 2016 and 2020 conventions.

“I’ve been saying this forever about this guy,” White told Pat McAfee in the wake of Trump’s assassination attempt. “He is one of the toughest, most resilient human beings I’ve ever met in my life. And let me tell you what, everybody wants to act like a tough guy. Well, when the sh*t goes down, you find out who tough guys are and who tough guys are not. This guy is the legitimate, ultimate American badass of all time.”

“The guy takes a shot at him. [Trump] goes down. He stands up. And then he starts chanting to the crowd, ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ I literally was blown away,” White continued. “I called him as soon as I landed … and he was already home from the hospital, and we talked for like 30 minutes. Pat, I’m telling you, I have never known a human being like this in my life. He’s literally one of the toughest, most badass guys of all time.”
