The Jimmy Kimmel Show provided a platform for wrestling star Dave Bautista to call out Donald Trump, a candidate for U.S. president. With the presidential election approaching, many famous figures in the wrestling scene are revealing their political affiliations, openly expressing their opinions on social media and not shying away from criticizing both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
It seems there hasn't been this much hype surrounding the presidential election in years, and statements like Bautista's further amplify the conversation. The WWE superstar emphasized that Trump is not the tough guy he claims to be, choosing his words carefully as he critiqued him. Bautista also mentioned Trump's use of makeup, highlighting various aspects of the former president's persona.
“Fellas, we gotta talk. A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him. He wears more makeup than Dolly Parton….The guy’s afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut like a garbage bag full of buttermilk. He sells imaginary baseball cards pretending to be a cowboy fireman. Guy’s barely strong enough to hold an umbrella. I mean, look how he drinks water, like a little pink chickadee. He’s got jugs, big ones like Dolly Parton and cheats at golf, and creeps around beauty pageant dressing rooms. You know that little dance he does?"- Dave Bautista said, as quoted by Pwmania.
Bautista also referenced Trump’s well-known "little dance," expressing his disappointment with some of Trump's policies and behavior. He went so far as to compare Trump to a five-year-old behind the wheel of a truck, highlighting his frustrations. The wrestling star did not shy away from mentioning Putin, stating that Trump "bends over for Putin." However, he placed the greatest emphasis on Trump's fears, suggesting that there are many things that intimidate him. Bautista stresses that a country’s president should be fearless, strong, and unafraid to openly express their opinions. His words convey a deep sense of disappointment with Trump's approach and demeanor.
The candidate for U.S. president has long-standing ties to WWE, and it's interesting to note that he has participated in several events, with WrestleMania being the most important. Trump has appeared in various segments as a guest host.
The former, and possibly future, U.S. president is a longtime friend of Vince McMahon, the former head of WWE, who is currently facing numerous allegations.
Trump also took part in the "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania 23 alongside Bobby Lashley. He is known for wanting to stand out and often publicly criticizes those he believes are doing things wrong.
The former U.S. president has never hidden his love for WWE, but it seems that some are not satisfied with his behavior and the way he presents himself.
Hulk Hogan on Donald Trump
There is also a notable group of supporters who back Trump and his policies, believing he can change the future not just for the U.S., but for the world, and help stop wars. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, regarded by many as the biggest name in wrestling, is known for frequently expressing his support for Trump, viewing him as the right choice for America's future.
Some did not welcome such political views of Hogan with joy, telling him that he should not interfere in politics.
Following an assassination attempt a few months ago, Hogan openly stated his backing for Trump, feeling disappointed by the events.
Hogan explained that he grew tired of remaining silent as he witnessed the collapse of borders and the economy, along with rising gas and food prices.
The citizens of America are not happy with the current situation, they want change.
WWE Hall of Famer felt a sense of urgency after the attack on Trump, realizing he could no longer stay quiet. He emphasized the importance of stepping up as a “real American,” alongside others who share his views. Hogan asserted that he has a voice and wants people to know it's time to speak out and not remain silent any longer.
As we approach the moment of discovering who will become the next president of the U.S., the voices of well-known personalities will play a crucial role. It’s well-known that people are susceptible to manipulation and influenced by those they hold in high regard. Campaigns have always been unique in many ways, and we will see to whom U.S. citizens will place their trust this time. Both Trump and Harris have a lot of supporters as well as critics who disagree with their positions. Eventually, one side will prevail.
