Hulk Hogan Endorses Trump Then Rips His Own Clothes!
Now the news cycle has certainly moved on with Joe Biden announcing that he wouldn’t be standing which took everyone, including Joe, by surprise. While I’m not suggesting anything untoward, I do have to say that I wouldn’t be paying any ransom for President Biden until I had proof of life. At the risk of starting another conspiracy theory, did anyone else find it strange that it was done via a post on social media and that we didn’t hear from the man personally? Only a personal message with the President on camera would be…
Aw, let’s be real. Some people would be saying that it’s a deep fake created by AI. I mean, when you see posts about how Michelle Obama is a man or that the CloudStrike thing was a setup so that the Democrats could steal the election…
Anyway, I was more interested in the fact that the Republicans thought that it was a great idea to have a professional wrestler to be one of the speakers at their convention. I mean apart from the fact that Hulk Hogan isn’t actually his real name, he was a musician who only became a wrestler because his music career wasn’t all that successful. This is too close to the Trump life story: The man who only became the guy in “The Apprentice” because all the other business people who were asked were actually busy making money and it was only Trump who had plenty of time on his hands, thanks to other people handling his bankruptcies…
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve nothing against professional wrestlers. I mean they’re a wonderful part of show business, much like a professional magician, but that’s the problem: Nobody believes that a professional magician is actually capable of magic and only a complete idiot would believe that wrestling, as seen on TV, is a genuine sport. Both are entertainers and we are watching the illusion, with that willing suspension of disbelief that allows us to enjoy a movie even though we know it’s fiction.
I was about to write that it seemed somewhat inappropriate that someone like Hulk Hogan – a man who’s made his fame and fortune by pretending to be involved in a fake contest between good and evil – would be an appropriate choice for the Republican Convention but I stopped myself because – unlike Trump – I’m capable of thinking before I speak…
Well, sometimes, anyway.
The more I think about it, Hulk seems like the most appropriate choice of all. Apart from the fact that Hulk is not his real name, he was involved in the sort of wrestling matches where most of the action takes place outside the ring and largely consists of the various contestants trash talking each other about who is going to take over, be victorious, make the other person sorry, show people who’s boss, get revenge and a thousand other things that go before they grapple and whack each other with chairs, before becoming too groggy to look behind them even as the pantomime crowd shouts, “Look behind you!”
Now if that description of a wrestling match doesn’t sound like Trump’s whole approach to politics, I don’t know what does.
Yep, Hulk Hogan. MAGA supporters should not only love it, but they probably think all that wrestling was genuine!

Return to home pageMy first and only thought about the Hulk ripping his clothes was that he was subverting in plain sight the intent of the convention … that far from endorsing Trump he was condemning the blasphemy of egregore taking shape around him – like the High Priest renting his garments at the trial of an actual messiah. For anyone unfamiliar with the practice and symbolism see this link https://biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/26-65.htm
Hulk fits in with the nativist, bible-belt stuff that inspires the grassroots…”
“Jess good ol’ boys”, y’all…y’ all.
But the cult of violence is real as we have seen both in the US and its love child Israel. If God apparently says its ok to blast negroes in the back or Gazans in the face with Armalites, so how churlish of us to contemplate on this?.
The warning call mentioned in the post, ‘look behind you!’ call is a good one. A warning to Trump.
Trump now has an opponent not as easily targeted as Hillary Clinton was, no personal email accounts, no high media profile, no former first lady and high profile cabinet member on the world stage, just a hard working, articulate, strong woman with a successful career as a prosecutor who has had to put up with far worse that Trump can dish out .
This is going to be a fun campaign to watch as each shout from the bully pit is scornfully dismissed.
Look out Donald, you may have dodged a bullet, but this is a weapon you really need to fear.
I guess it depends on how you view this. To me they are a perfect match up of what is wrong with ‘The land of the freaks and the home of the brainless’. A land that thinks life is like a Hollywood movie or wishes that it was. They all want fame and fortune and they see a complete joke of a big girl’s blouse became their president so they want to emulate his ‘success’, even though he has had more bankruptcies that probably any other American businessman ever, It appears to succeed in 21st century America just get on the idiot box as often as you can slinging off at others with psycho rants so you stand out from the majority of other lunatics in the asylum.
I’m so glad I was born an Australian!
Each to his own, John C, but per “The land of the freaks and the home of the brainless”, America as a country has the highest number of Nobel Laureates, at 114, cf. Oz at 14: Inventions include GPS, telephony, powered flight, light bulbs, plastic, to name a few among a very long list of creations that have immeasurably helped (and hindered) mankind.
Freaks, yes, brainless, also yes, but not every American slots into those descriptors. Musicians, writers, artists, scientists & engineers… some of the finest minds on the planet from that continent.
I don’t entirely disagree, and at first blush it certainly does seem to be a nation of lunatics, but there’s plenty of sanity there as well, and no doubt they despair as much as we do for the future of that country.
Yes Bert,
100% agree.
Thank you Rossleigh for reminding me that Dementia Trumpery has been a financial bankrupt – as well as a social pariah, misogynist, convicted felon, adulterer and sexual harasser – all the essential attributes to be an ideal FRWNJ candidate to lead the western world. However, his felony convictions I am advised prevent him from being employed by the USA government. Interesting??
Nucking futcase Elon is helping The Donald to be elected.

What’s the bet when Harris gets the nomination that the orange coward then “magically” finds other reasons as to why he can’t debate her?
