Donald Trump Honors Hulk Hogan After Wrestling Legend’s Death

Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025, at age 71, following cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida home. The news has deeply impacted fans and friends across sports, entertainment, and politics.

Former President Donald Trump paid tribute on Truth Social, describing Hogan as “strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.” Trump offered condolences to Hogan’s wife, Sky, and their family. Donald Trump Jr. also posted a heartfelt message, highlighting the decades-long friendship between the families.

Their bond began over 35 years ago at a wrestling event in Atlantic City and continued through WrestleMania appearances, including Hogan’s title win at Trump Plaza.

Though Hogan had recently undergone neck surgery and seemed to be recovering, his sudden death shocked many. His passing casts uncertainty on his recent ventures like the Real American Freestyle wrestling league and Real American Beer.

Hogan’s influence extended beyond wrestling — from ‘90s TV roles to the revolutionary nWo faction and the reality series Hogan Knows Best.

As Trump shared: “He’ll never be forgotten.”
Because legends never really leave — they live on in the hearts they’ve touched.
