Hulk Hogan suggests Trump may nominate him for position in administration

Hulk Hogan suggested in an interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on Saturday that President-elect Trump may give him a role in the next administration.

In the interview, Hogan talked about a conversation he had with Trump at the president-elect's Madison Square Garden rally in October. A former professional wrestler said Trump seemed open to the idea of ​​Hogan serving in Trump's second term.

“The president said, 'You know something. You're the perfect person to run the President's Physical Fitness Council,'” Hogan said of the conversation at the New York rally.

The President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition is a federal advisory committee that promotes healthy eating and physical activity. Website. President Biden renewed the council until September 30, 2025.

The Hill has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.

After the rally, Hogan said he and Trump talked about nutrition and physical fitness, which led to the proposal.

“At the end of the day, when I finished the whole rally and was in the back of Madison Square Garden, we talked about Robert Kennedy and talked about nutrition and how many foreign countries don't even let their own people eat food. We were talking about how the food we eat here in America is so awful that it's poisoning our children for generations. We start talking about physical fitness,” Hogan said.

Hogan's comments came on the heels of President Trump's nomination of anti-vaccine activist and environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). His appointment shocked public health experts, who say he has interfered with key government agencies, amplified vaccine hesitancy, and directly funded agencies to support his preferred views. I am concerned that this may happen.

Hogan, an ardent ally of President Trump, made the remarks ahead of Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in July to formally accept his party's presidential nomination. Hogan received the loudest applause of the night and became a crowd favorite.
