During a recent interview on Fox News, legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan hinted that President Donald Trump may offer him a significant role in his future administration, potentially as the head of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. The former WWE star, a staunch Trump supporter, recounted a conversation with the president-elect at a rally in New York in October, where Trump reportedly suggested Hogan would be an excellent fit for the position.
Hogan shared that Trump said to him, “You’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness,” a position that would involve promoting healthier lifestyles across the nation. The council, which encourages physical fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being, has been part of federal efforts to improve public health for decades. Although President Joe Biden renewed the council’s mandate until 2025, Hogan’s remarks suggest that Trump may look to reinvigorate it with a more aggressive approach to combating the nation’s health crisis.
The conversation between Hogan and Trump took place backstage after Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, where they discussed issues such as food quality, nutrition, and the disturbing state of public health. Hogan, who has long been vocal about his concerns over the nation’s food supply, mentioned how foreign countries ban many of the foods commonly consumed in the U.S. due to health risks. This conversation eventually led to the idea of Hogan taking on a leadership role in the council.
This revelation comes on the heels of Trump’s controversial decision to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), another move that signals the former president’s focus on addressing health and nutrition in America. While RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine stance raised alarms among public health experts, Hogan’s potential role in Trump’s second term may suggest a more proactive approach to fitness and well-being.
As a beloved figure in the conservative movement and a crowd favorite at the Republican National Convention, Hogan’s loyalty to Trump and his advocacy for American health could make him a strong addition to the president’s team if he is called upon in the future.
