‘You still got that Trump pump-on’: Hulk Hogan hints at possible role in incoming admin

Hulk Hogan said President-elect Donald J. Trump could nominate him for a position in his new administration, bringing his star power to Washington, D.C. to help make America healthy again.

In a Saturday interview with Fox News Brian Kilmeade, the wrestling legend told the host about a conversation with the then-GOP nominee during his massive rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden last month when the possibility of the future role came up.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was discussing Trump’s nomination of Linda McMahon, the wife of WWE founder Vince McMahon, as his Education Secretary when the host rolled a clip of Jon Stewart joking that the wrestler hadn’t yet been tapped for Trump’s “unorthodox and provocative” Cabinet.

“Is he right?” Kilmeade asked. “Are you going to be joining in some way shape or form? I know you and the president hit it off.”

Hogan responded that he’s known Trump for over 40 years when he recounted the MSG chat with the nation’s soon-to-be 47th president.

“At the end of the day, when I was in the back at Madison Square Garden after the whole rally, you know we were talking about Robert Kennedy, I was talking about nutrition, and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America. It’s so bad, and it’s poisoned a generation of kids, and at the end of the day, we start talking about physical fitness,” he told Kilmeade.

“And Donald goes, I mean our president, excuse me, my president, said ‘You know something Hogan, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness because you’re 71, you still got that Trump pump-on brother,” he said, flexing his muscles.

“And it’d be great if you got all the kids in America in shape,” Hogan added. “My thing is I’m a beach bum brother. I love stayin’ on the beach but you never know, it could happen.”

According to its website, “The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (PCSFN) is a federal advisory committee that aims to promote healthy eating and physical activity for all people, regardless of background or ability.”

“President Biden issues Executive Order 14109 renewing the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition until September 30, 2025. This Executive Order allows for continued promotion of the National Youth Sports Strategy, and provides for the work of the Council to include a focus on expanding national awareness of the importance of mental health as it pertains to physical fitness and nutrition,” the website reads.

Hogan, who brought the house down with his rousing speech at the Republican National Convention in July, received a hero’s welcome at MSG when he entered the venue.

Hogan also triggered leftists when he joked about doing some wrestling moves on Kamala Harris, who went on to be body slammed by Trump in an electoral beatdown.

Trump’s cabinet picks including McMahon, several Fox News personalities, and former Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have the establishment media in an uproar, Hogan would further add to their torment.
