Hulk Hogan May Join Trump's Team to Lead Fitness Council

Hulk Hogan's support for President-elect Donald Trump was clear during the recent election cycle. His backing came into sharper focus following a revealing interview with Fox News' Brian Kilmeade on Saturday.

Discussion at Madison Square Garden Rally

During a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, Hogan and Trump engaged in a significant conversation. Hogan recounted how Trump, impressed by his public health advocacy, proposed he could effectively lead the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.

Hogan's remarks extended beyond fitness, touching on broader health issues. He expressed grave concerns about the quality of American food, suggesting it could have detrimental effects on children's health.

Role of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition plays a vital role in promoting healthy lifestyles. Established as a federal advisory committee, it encourages physical activity and nutritional awareness among Americans.

Under the administration of President Joe Biden, the council's mandate was extended until September 30, 2025, through an executive order, ensuring its continued influence on public health policy.

Uncertainty Over Council's Future

Despite the council's established importance, there has been no confirmation from Donald Trump about its renewal under his upcoming administration. The council's future remains a topic of speculation and interest among health advocates and political observers alike.

Notably, during Trump's first term, celebrities like Lou Ferrigno, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and coach Bill Belichick served on the council, bringing a blend of celebrity influence and expertise to its mission.

Hulk Hogan's Potential Impact

Hogan's advocacy for healthier living standards and his public persona could bring renewed vigor to the council’s activities. His previous engagement in similar issues provides a strong foundation for this role.

"My president said, ‘You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.’" Hogan recounted about their discussion, highlighting the personal endorsement from Trump.

Further elaborating on their conversation, Hogan shared, "At the end of the day, when I was in the back at Madison Square Garden after the whole rally, we were talking about Robert Kennedy, I was talking about nutrition, and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America. It’s so bad, and it’s poisoned a generation of kids. And at the end of the day, we start talking about physical fitness."
