MassLive | Hulk Hogan rips off shirt, fires up Trump, crowd at RNC: 'Let Trumpamania run wild brother!' @MassLive | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Just five days after surviving an assassination attempt, a bandaged Donald Trump is set to address the Republican National Convention on Thursday to accept his party's presidential nomination in a speech designed to unify his party — and the nation — behind his third consecutive White House bid.
The most prominent speakers included wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Kid Rock was also set to perform.
Hogan drew a raucous response when, standing on the main stage, he ripped off his shirt to reveal a red Trump-Vance “Make America Great Again” shirt.
“As an entertainer I try to stay out of politics,” Hogan said as he briefly broke character. “I can no longer stay silent. I'm here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American hero.”
Trump's appearance comes as 81-year-old Democratic President Joe Biden clings to his party’s nomination in the face of unrelenting pressure from key congressional allies, donors and even former President Barack Obama, who fear he may be unable to win reelection after his disastrous debate.
