President Trump and Vice President JD Vance reacted to the passing of 71-year-old WWE wrestling legend Hulk Hogan on Thursday.
Hogan passed away after going into cardiac arrest.
Trump shared the following message on TRUTH Social:
We lost a great friend today, the “Hulkster.” Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!
Vice President JD Vance shared a message on X, saying, “Hulk Hogan was a great American icon. One of the first people I ever truly admired as a kid. The last time I saw him we promised we’d get beers together next time we saw each other. The next time will have to be on the other side, my friend! Rest in peace.”

A “cardiac arrest” call was placed to Hulk Hogan’s Clearwater, Florida home, and medics responded, TMZ reports. He was stretchered into an ambulance.
Hogan — born Terry Bollea — shot to fame in the 1980s with his All-American “Hulkamania” persona, playing a key role in turning WWE, then known as the WWF, into a national phenomenon.
Born in Augusta, Georgia in 1953, he had two children, Brooke and Nick, with his first wife, Linda.
Hogan appeared on Hannity last year after his RNC speech.
