The supports of Donald Trump The candidates for the White House are completely transversal. From big businessmen, to workers, immigrants, actors and sportsmen are among those who support the Republican, who has emerged as the great winner of the Republican convention in Milwaukee that crowned him. At the end of the meeting, in addition to Trump’s much-discussed final speech, there were other guests who spoke to hundreds of party supporters.
One of the most talked about was Terry Gene Bolleaknown worldwide as Hulk Hogan (or Hollywood Hogan in his ‘evil’ version). The former great WWE champion took to the stage to launch a fiery harangue against Trump, of whom he declares himself a fervent follower and voter.
“He’s going to win in November and when he does we’re all going to be champions again. He’s been the greatest patriot and he still is. He’s always said exactly what he thinks, and regardless of the odds, he always finds a way to win,” said a totally fired-up Hogan, who asked for the vote in November for a Trump whom he had previously supported. Dana Whitehead of the UFC, the world’s leading promoter of mixed martial arts.
The once legendary fighter referred to Trump in terms such as «gladiator», «hero», «leader»… Completely unleashed, Hogan ended his speech at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee by performing one of his classic actions: he ripped off the shirt he was wearing to reveal another one underneath, the official Republican ballot shirt with Trump and his vice president, JD Vance.
“What happened last week, when they shot my hero and tried to kill the next president of the United States…” he shouted, while tearing off his shirt: “Enough is enough! Let’s make Trumpmania happen! Let Trumpmania rule again and make America great again!” he said.
The ‘epic’ finale by Hogan, 70 years old (eight years younger than Trump), was the culmination of a speech that summed up what the Republican candidate’s speech in Milwaukee meant for him: a true coronation that, unless the Democrats prevent it (whether it’s Biden or someone else), will take him straight back to the White House.
