Hulk Hogan Endorses Trump at RNC 2024, Abandoning Democrats Due to Minor Insult
Hulk Hogan, the iconic wrestler and actor, passed away in Florida at the age of 71 on Thursday. Known for his charisma and larger-than-life persona, Hogan left an indelible mark not only in the world of entertainment but also in the political sphere.
In 2012, Hulk Hogan endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president, marking a shift from his initial support for President Obama. This change of heart came after a series of events that led Hogan to voice his concerns about the state of the country.
During the 2012 Republican National Convention, Hogan publicly backed Romney, who was also the choice of Hogan at the 2012 convention supported by the wrestling legend himself. Hogan expressed his excitement about the potential for America to "reinvent itself" with the Romney-Ryan ticket and praised them for offering "a fresh start."
However, Hogan's political allegiance took another turn in 2024 when he gave a memorable speech at the RNC in Milwaukee. In a dramatic move, Hogan tore off his shirt to reveal a "Trump/Vance" tank underneath. The speech, given just days after Trump was shot on stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a strong endorsement of the then-president.
Hogan's relationship with President Obama was not without its ups and downs. In 2011, Hogan was upset when Obama used his theme song, "Real American," without permission at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Hogan described Donald Trump as the toughest person he's ever been in the ring with, but he later expressed a change of heart towards Obama "now that nothing's happened."
Following Hogan's death, the White House paid tribute to the wrestling legend, sharing a picture of Hogan with the caption "Rest In Peace, BROTHER." The heartfelt gesture reflected the impact Hogan had on people, regardless of their political affiliations.
Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, will be remembered not only for his wrestling career but also for his unexpected foray into politics. His story serves as a reminder of the power of individual voices and the impact they can have on the political landscape.
