The relationship between former President Donald Trump and one former professional wrestler is solid as, well a āRock.ā
Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne āThe Rockā Johnson said the picture of Trump standing after he was shot in July was exactly what people in the U.S āwanted to see,ā Fox News reported.
āWhether you love Donald, donāt love Donald, it doesnāt matter. They tried to assassinate him. Thereās no room for that,ā Johnson said at The Value Conference in Florida where he was the keynote speaker last week. āDespite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that.ā
Johnsonās words were in response to a question he was asked about the Assassination Attempt. Johnson was asked since his relationship with Trump goes back to when he wrestled.
He added Trump was a fan and used to watch in wrestle n New York City.
āHe used to come watch me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. First time I saw him, he said ālet me see the eyebrows,āā Johnson said in reference to a meme regarding his eyebrow.
Earlier this year, Johnson told āFox & Friendsā host Will Cain he will not be endorsing a candidate in this election. In 2020, he endorsed President Joe Biden.
āThe endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time,ā he said.
āAm I going to do that again this year? That answerās no. Iām not going to do that,ā Johnson said. āBecause what I realized that what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. And that got me.ā
He learned from that and said he would not publicly endorse a candidate again.
āThe takeaway after that months and months and months, I started to realize like, āOh man, that caused an incredible amount of, division in our country.ā So I realize now going into this election, Iām not going to do that. I wouldnāt do that because my goal is to bring our country together. I believe in that, in my DNA. So in the spirit of that, thereās going to be no endorsement,ā he said.
In the end, he said it is important to keep his opinions to himself.
āNot that Iām afraid of it at all, but itās just I realize that this level of influence ā Iām gonna keep my Politics to myself, and I think itās between me and the ballot box,ā he said.
