The Rock has often spoken about the idea of running for President of the United States of America. He has not hit the campaign trail yet, but he does have a fondness for Donald Trump.
On July 13, 2024, former U.S. President Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt during an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. The tragic incident resulted in the loss of two lives and left seven others injured. Among the deceased was the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who carried out the attack. Despite the violence and chaos, Trump emerged unharmed from the ordeal.
While appearing recent at The Vault conference, The Rock sat down for a little chat. During the conversation, he spoke about Donald Trump a bit, while touching on that fateful day in Pennsylvania where he narrowly escaped disaster.
“Trump, he used to come see me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. The first time I saw him, he said, ‘Let me see the [People’s] Eyebrow.’ “
“Whether you love Donald or you don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him, there’s no room for that, and despite who we were in that moment, I believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. So, him standing up in that moment, we wanted to see that.”
The Rock was referring to the iconic image of Donald Trump with his fist raised high and a bloody ear, while Secret Service officers tried to whisk him away. This was certainly a powerful message to send after nearly losing his life.
We will have to see how the 2024 US Presidential Election pans out. Only time will tell who will be celebrating in November, but Donald Trump received some flowers from The Rock without an official endorsement. After all, The Rock endorsed Joe Biden during the last presidential election. He then made it clear that he wasn’t endorsing Joe in the 2024 election.
