Legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, has revealed that Donald Trump may tap him for a role in his upcoming administration, specifically to lead the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. The council promotes healthy eating and physical activity for Americans of all backgrounds.
In a recent interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, Hogan recounted a conversation he had with Trump before a Madison Square Garden rally. “My president said, ‘You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness,’” Hogan said. The two discussed the impact of poor nutrition on American youth and the stark contrast between U.S. food standards and those in other countries. “It’s so bad, and it’s poisoned a generation of kids,” Hogan remarked.
The former wrestling icon has not shied away from expressing interest in public service. Earlier this year, Hogan suggested he might consider running for office, telling Fox News in July, “If you need a president or a vice president, I’ll volunteer and take this country over, and I’ll rule with an iron fist.”
At the Republican National Convention in July, Hogan energized the crowd with a dramatic speech, ripping off his shirt and declaring, “Let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again.”
Hogan’s potential appointment to the President’s Council on Physical Fitness would align with his outspoken views on health and nutrition. It remains to be seen whether Trump will formalize the proposal, but Hogan’s enthusiasm for the role and commitment to fitness could make him an intriguing choice for the position.
