The legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan completely stole the show at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night. He brought the house down by powerfully endorsing Donald Trump.
For years, it has been considered taboo in the radically liberal entertainment world to have any ties to Trump. This has led to many celebrities who may hold conservative views staying silent rather than endorsing Trump publicly.
After four years of Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats running this country into the ground, however, it appears that this may finally be changing. On Thursday night, Hogan became the latest celebrity to defy the left by officially endorsing Trump. As he took the stage, a stirring “USA! USA!” chant broke out at the packed Republican National Convention.

Hogan said he has seen “some great tag teams” in his career but sees the “greatest tag team of my life” standing before them getting ready to save the country, referring to Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).Later in the speech, when Hogan reintroduced himself as his real name, he said he could not stay silent as he usually has on politics given what has happened in the world and during Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump.
“When [Trump’s] back in the White House, America’s gonna start winning again,” Hogan said, to chants of “Trump.”
Trump Is Hogan’s ‘Hero’
In this same speech, Hogan described Trump as his “hero” and a “gladiator.” Hogan even ripped off his shirt, a move which drew huge cheers from the adoring crowd.
Hogan’s original shirt was a black “Real Americans” muscle shirt. He ripped this shirt off to reveal a Trump-Vance T-shirt underneath.
Trump was visibly touched by the speech. The former president could be seen blowing Hogan a kiss at one point.
This speech just goes to show that when it comes to celebrities and Trump, the tide could finally be turning. Last Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump’s life changed everything. Coming so close to losing Trump forever served as a wake-up call to many Americans who have thus far stayed relatively quiet about their love for the former president.
Hogan and Trump also have a decades-long friendship. Trump first got involved with the WWE in 1998, at the height of Hulkmania.
Hogan has seen firsthand how Trump operates behind the scenes, allowing the former wrestler to see through the media’s negative portrayal of Trump. Instead of buying into the left’s claims that Trump is an ignorant wannabe dictator, Hogan knows Trump to be a savvy businessman who truly does have what it takes to make America great again.
Hogan’s speech at the RNC last night was nothing short of epic. Democrats should see it as a warning sign of things to come. This could be only the beginning of an increasing number of celebrities turning their backs on Biden, and proudly endorsing Trump!
