Trump just ended his tenure as the POTUS after Joe Biden began a new era yesterday. If Covington can secure such a close relationship with the new president too, remains to be seen. But how much Trump would like that is unsure. But Covington doesn’t mind too much leaving his friends high and dry. His recent turn of events with Jorge Masvidal, Dustin Poirier, and more are testaments to that claim.
