Donald Trump thinks Jake Paul will follow in his footsteps as 'total endorsement' made
Daily Mirror ^ | Mar 11 2026 | Sahil Kurup

President Donald Trump caught rally-goers off guard in Kentucky when he brought boxer and influencer Jake Paul onto the stage and made a striking political forecast about the social media personality's future.

During an appearance at Verst Logistics in Hebron, Trump pointed at Paul before urging him to come up onstage. After Paul made his way forward, the president suggested the 29-year-old might one day pursue a career in politics.

"I'm going to make a prediction that you will be, in the not-too-distant future, running for political office," Trump told Paul, whose gross hygiene issue caused a major distraction at the rally. "And you have my complete and total endorsement."

The exchange prompted applause from supporters attending the rally, where Trump had been addressing economic investment and manufacturing throughout the area. Trump commended Paul's outspoken nature and even made light of the boxer's political preferences.

"I didn't ask Jake who he voted for, but I don't think it was Kamala," Trump said during his speech. "I think your whole reputation would be shot if he said 'Oh, I voted for Kamala.' That would be the end of your whole career, Jake."

Was he running with mucus, or just bad BO?

Jake can make some fun and/or money off the leftist mockery of his sweat (an male athlete wearing a suit, in a crowded room...)

He was wearing a suit coat and had sweat stains in the armpit area.

These a-holes had no problem when Al Gore was running for President and sweat so badly, his shirts were sopping wet:

It was really gross.

Jake Paul is a complete waste of skin, a charlatan and that the Trumpster allowed him on the same stage, let alone endorsed him for ANYTHING disgusts me beyond words.

The Donald has lost a LOT of esteem with this particular act. I’m ashamed of his tone-deaf support of such a complete sham artist.

Laugh if you want to. Jake can be a major clown when he wants to be, which is most of the time, but the president may be seeing something else.
Mr. Trump may glance at Jake and see someone with the gift of charisma and profound persuasion. Some folks have it naturally, some never even finished high school but clearly have the ability to captivate and influence other people.

Famous people can often see it in others who have the potential of fame and vast influence. Pat Nixon saw it in Donald Trump. In 1987, Pat Nixon was deeply impressed by Donald Trump’s appearance on the Phil Donahue Show. She wrote a letter to her husband, former President Richard Nixon, that if Donald Trump ever ran for president, he would win.

While most of us initially hated the pick, Trump sure was right about Marco Rubio.

Sahil Kurup is a Dalit accusing others of gross hygiene.

I’ve seen it all now.
