At Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden wrestling icon Hulk Hogan fired up the group with a mixture of nostalgia and pointed humour, together with a not-so-subtle jab at Vice President Kamala Harris.
Hogan, opening for Trump, started with traditional wrestling bravado, declaring, “This is the home that Hulk-a-mania constructed!” earlier than romanticising about body-slamming rivals and hyping the group of “Trump-a-maniacs.” Hogan’s speech was a homage to Trump’s “actual Americans,” as he solid the gathered crowd as champions of Trump’s imaginative and prescient for America.
“All of a sudden, she flips, she flops, she spins and turns round and acts like she was going to be the rattling hero,” stated Hogan, whose actual identify is Terry Bollea. “But everyone knows Trump is the one man that may repair this nation immediately, and with Trump as our commander in chief, peace by way of power will repair all of our issues within the Middle East.”
Later in a controversial flip, Hogan appeared to reference the viral Hawk Tuah video when addressing Harris, spitting into the microphone to imitate a comedic sound impact popularised on-line. He said, “When I hear Kamala communicate… it appears like a script from Hollywood with a extremely, actually [spitting sound] unhealthy actress!” The remark, paired with Hogan’s mimicry, performed to an enthusiastic viewers, drawing applause and laughter.

Hogan has been in Trump’s nook since he spoke on the Republican National Convention in July.
“You know one thing, Trump-a-maniacs? I don’t see no stinking Nazis in right here. I don’t see no stinking home terrorists in right here. The solely factor that I see in listed below are a bunch of hard-working women and men which might be actual Americans, brother. You know what I hear in my president and our president Donald Trump, he sounds for actual, brother,” he declared.
Even as he yelled on the “Trumpamaniacs” and requested them to vote for Trump the previous wrestler visibly struggled to tear his shirt, drawing flack and sarcasm from netizens.
Trump’s rally marked a return to NYC’s iconic venue, drawing a mixture of celebrities and outspoken supporters who championed his political message.
