โ€œHeโ€™s Not Who I Thought He Wasโ€ โ€” Bryce Mitchell Breaks from Trump

Bryce Mitchell, the outspoken UFC fighter from Arkansas, has stunned fans by turning on Donald Trump after years of loud support.

Mitchell, 31, once said he would โ€œtake a bulletโ€ for Trump. Now, he says the president fooled him. In a new Instagram video, Mitchell called Trump a โ€œcorrupted leaderโ€ and even compared him to the Antichrist.

โ€œI was fooled by him,โ€ Mitchell said. โ€œHe talked a good game. I donโ€™t support him. I donโ€™t like him.โ€

Yes, this is the same Bryce Mitchell who wore American flag shorts and proudly praised Trump on TV. The same fighter who said politicians were lying to the people, except for Trump. Now heโ€™s convinced Trump might actually be the biggest liar of all.

Mitchell said his main reason for flipping is Trumpโ€™s failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. โ€œBoth Democrats and Republicans are asking for those files to be released,โ€ he said, โ€œbut Trump has done nothing about it.โ€

He also accused Trump of sending U.S. money overseas. โ€œHeโ€™s sending our tax money to Ukraine and Israel,โ€ Mitchell said. โ€œThatโ€™s a betrayal.โ€

According to Mitchell, Trump even blamed American beef farmers for rising meat prices. โ€œThatโ€™s nonsense,โ€ he said. โ€œHeโ€™s turning on his own people.โ€

For anyone whoโ€™s followed Mitchellโ€™s wild statements over the years, this might not be too shocking. He once claimed Israel carried out the 9/11 attacks. He said Adolf Hitler was a โ€œgood guyโ€ he would โ€œgo fishing with.โ€ He also said another UFC fighter, Jean Silva, was โ€œpossessed by demons.โ€

(So yes, Bryce Mitchellโ€™s spiritual radar has been active for a while.)

Still, calling Trump the Antichrist is new territory even for him. In the video, Mitchell asked followers to read Revelation 13:3 from the Bible. He said Trump matches the description of โ€œthe beastโ€ who gains global worship.

โ€œI believe Donald Trump is the beast,โ€ Mitchell said firmly. โ€œHe fooled me.โ€

Ironically, Mitchellโ€™s Instagram still has a pinned post from Trumpโ€™s second inauguration. In it, he called the event โ€œthe experience of a lifetime.โ€ Fans are now flooding that post with laughing emojis and Bible verses.
