The relationship between former President Donald Trump and one former professional wrestler is solid as, well a ā€˜Rock.’

Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne ā€œThe Rockā€ Johnson said the picture of Trump standing after he was shot in July was exactly what people in the U.S ā€œwanted to see,ā€ Fox News reported.

ā€œWhether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that,ā€ Johnson said at The Value Conference in Florida where he was the keynote speaker last week. ā€œDespite 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€

Johnson’s 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.

ā€œHe used to come watch me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. First time I saw him, he said ā€˜let me see the eyebrows,ā€™ā€ Johnson said in reference to a meme regarding his eyebrow.

Earlier this year, Johnson told ā€œFox & Friendsā€ host Will Cain he will not be endorsing a candidate in this election. In 2020, he endorsed President Joe Biden.

ā€œThe endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time,ā€ he said.

ā€œAm I going to do that again this year? That answer’s no. I’m not going to do that,ā€ Johnson said. ā€œBecause 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.

ā€œThe takeaway after that months and months and months, I started to realize like, ā€˜Oh man, that caused an incredible amount of, division in our country.’ So I realize now going into this election, I’m not going to do that. I wouldn’t do that because my goal is to bring our country together. I believe in that, in my DNA. So in the spirit of that, there’s going to be no endorsement,ā€ he said.

In the end, he said it is important to keep his opinions to himself.

ā€œNot that I’m afraid of it at all, but it’s just I realize that this level of influence — I’m gonna keep my Politics to myself, and I think it’s between me and the ballot box,ā€ he said.
