American professional wrestler, Terry G. Bollea, well known as Hulk Hogan has declared his support for former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday at the Republican National Convention, saying that the former president would bring America back together.
With so much enthusiasm, the superstar expressed his interest with gestures and a rousing speech in which he ripped off his suit jacket and shirt, revealing a red Trump-Vance tank top to raucous cheers.
Hogan tagged Mr. Trump his “hero”, stressing that the former president would bring “America back together, one real American at a time.”
In the words of Hogan, “As an entertainer, I try to stay out of politics,” “But after everything that’s happened to our country over the past four years, and everything that happened last weekend, I can no longer stay silent.”
Interestingly, Hogan last month, he said that he had not yet decided whom he would support in this year’s election.
Confirming his statement in an interview with NewsNation, Hogan said, “I just don’t know,” “I just want the best man to win.”
However, Hogan’s submission later changed after the assassination attempt on Mr. Trump on Saturday.
On Fox News on Thursday night before his speech, Hogan also said,
“When I saw him stand up with that fist in the air and the blood on his face — as a warrior, as a leader — I realized that’s what America needs.”
Serving as one of the last handful of speakers before Mr. Trump, he was rewarded with a prime-time spot on the final night of the Republican convention.
Hogan’s theatrics attracted the attention of the crowd, cheering delegates below with an exclamation of and repetition of, “Let Trumpmania run wild, brother!” “Let Trumpmania rule again! Let Trumpmania make America great again!”
According to The New York Times, as he left the stage, he clapped, beat his chest and flexed his muscles one final time.
His remarks electrified an already ebullient crowd, spurring attendees to scream and stand on their feet. Many waved red, white and blue signs with campaign slogans reading, “Bring Back Common Sense” and “Make America Great Again.”
