Have you ever thought about trying SUMO?
Eric Trump, the son of former President Trump, found himself in a surprising situation when he faced off against a top sumo wrestler during a recent trip to Japan over a long weekend.
The 41-year-old was caught on Instagram attempting to hold his own against Yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo wrestling.
In the footage, Trump, dressed casually in a blue polo and denim shorts, seemed to be doing his best to push the massive wrestler out of the circle, but, well, that didn’t quite work out as planned.
Instead, Yokozuna wrapped his arms around Trump, effortlessly lifting him off his feet and carrying him outside the ring, concluding the match almost comically.
Despite the swift defeat, Trump appeared to take it all in good humor, laughing and shaking hands with his opponent, even bowing in respect.
“Every day, you weren’t invited to the legendary China. Most had him!” he joked. “What a great honor!”
In the midst of the laughter, there were moments where Trump briefly managed to push the sumo wrestler back, but, as expected, that led to the tide quickly turning in favor of Yokozuna.
In his second attempt, Trump seemed a bit more confident, even managing to move Yokozuna slightly from his starting point. However, it wasn’t long before the wrestler demonstrated his strength by swinging Trump around in circles, clearly showing who was in control.
Trump couldn’t help but chuckle at how easily he was outmatched again.
During his time in Japan, he also got to snap some photos with the sumo champion.
Interestingly, the wrestlers were keen on helping Trump improve and shared some tips for better competition.
Some of that advice seemed to work; Trump pushed Yokozuna back further into the ring, but then the wrestler quickly regained his stance, proving difficult to move again.
This interesting foray into sumo came during Trump’s visit to Japan for the unveiling of his family’s Bitcoin token, $WLFI. Watching him in the ring might have brought back memories of his father’s days in WWE.
