Professional wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has hinted at a potential role in President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming administration. Speaking with Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade on Saturday, Hogan revealed that Trump had suggested appointing him as the head of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness—a position dedicated to promoting health and wellness across the United States.
According to Hogan, Trump told him, “You’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness,” during a recent conversation. While no official plans or announcements have been made, Hogan’s potential appointment would represent an unconventional choice for this influential role.
The Council’s History and Hogan’s Potential Impact
Founded in 1956, the President’s Council on Physical Fitness has been traditionally led by prominent athletes and celebrities committed to encouraging healthier lifestyles nationwide. If Hogan were to assume the role, his dynamic and larger-than-life persona could inject new energy into fitness advocacy efforts.
Hogan’s relationship with Trump spans decades, with the former WWE champion often voicing admiration for the president-elect. During the interview, Hogan referred to Trump as “my president,” highlighting their longstanding friendship, which includes Trump’s past appearances at WWE events.
Political Implications
Hogan’s potential involvement reflects Trump’s penchant for appointing high-profile figures from outside traditional political circles. While the idea remains speculative, the prospect of Hogan leading the council underscores Trump’s unconventional approach to governance. His second term could see more celebrity figures tackling national issues in innovative ways.
