Hulk Hogan Declares Support for Trump, Invokes "Trumpamania"

Over the weekend, wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan made a fiery statement of support for Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. Speaking at the Republican National Convention, Hogan declared his reasons for backing Trump, citing his concerns about the direction of the country.

"I got tired of remaining silent," Hogan stated. "I watched the borders collapse, the economy crumble, the price of gas and food skyrocket – everything turned upside down. And when they took a shot at my hero, Donald Trump, I realized I couldn't stay silent anymore. I had to step up, be a real American, just like all these real Americans here and Donald Trump. I have a voice, and it's time to use it."

Hogan's entrance to the stage was accompanied by his iconic "Real American" theme song, a powerful anthem that has long resonated with patriotic sentiment. He delivered a passionate speech, drawing parallels to his wrestling career, culminating in a dramatic reveal of a Trump/Vance campaign shirt beneath his own attire.

"What happened last week, when they tried to kill the next President of the United States? Enough is enough!" Hogan exclaimed. "Let Trumpamania run wild, brother! Let Trumpamania rule again! Let Trumpamania make America great again!"

Hogan's passionate speech, laced with wrestling terminology and imagery, reflected his long-standing connection to the "American Dream" narrative, a theme deeply ingrained in professional wrestling. By invoking the term "Trumpamania," Hogan sought to tap into a similar energy of fervent support that fueled his own wrestling career. His endorsement of Trump, particularly in the context of the alleged assassination attempt, amplified the campaign's message of safety and security, further solidifying his support amongst the Republican base.
