This was very unexpected.
Former President Donald Trump recently stirred up conversations in the wrestling community by appearing on The Undertaker’s podcast. As the 2024 presidential election looms, with Trump set to face off against Vice President Kamala Harris, reactions from notable figures are making headlines.
WWE icon Mick Foley has openly criticized Trump’s campaign, expressing concerns that resonate with many conservative voters. Foley stated, “There comes a time when we need to recognize when enough is enough.” Reflecting on the past, he reminisced about Trump’s impact on politics, suggesting that while Trump made things exciting in 2016, the situation has since changed dramatically. He emphasized the seriousness of Trump’s rhetoric about “the enemy within,” arguing that this approach is more divisive than entertaining.
Foley’s concerns extend beyond Trump’s personality; he believes many hard-working Americans fail to see Trump as a savvy businessman who has veered into political manipulation. He further criticized Trump’s appointees to the Supreme Court, questioning their integrity and fitness for the role, stating that he would not shy away from expressing his views, even if it angered Trump.
Interestingly, while Foley has voiced his support for Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, recent polling suggests Trump still has significant support among Republicans. A Fox News poll conducted on October 16 shows Trump leading Harris by a narrow margin of 50% to 48% nationally. However, Harris has a slight edge in key battleground states, indicating a competitive race ahead.
Trump’s connection to the wrestling world, marked by his involvement in events like WrestleMania, adds another layer to his public persona. As the election approaches, the clash of opinions within both the political and entertainment spheres continues to captivate the American audience. For Republicans, the focus remains on rallying behind a candidate who has the potential to unite the party and energize voters for the challenges ahead.
