Former WWE star Mick Foley weighs in on Trump: 'There's absolutely nothing funny about this guy'
The pro wrestling world was the talk of the town when former President Donald Trump appeared on The Undertaker's podcast last week ahead of the 2024 presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
WWE legend Mick Foley weighed in on Trump's run for president and had nothing but critical words about the former business mogul-turned-politician.
“I think it's important to have a moment where enough is enough,” Foley said in a video he posted on Instagram. “For me, 8 years ago was enough. The Undertaker was right when he said Donald Trump made politics fun again … for about three weeks in 2016. But it's eight years later and there's absolutely nothing funny about this guy.
“To me, there is nothing funny about a man who could be the next president of the United States talking about the enemy within. Making it clear that it was no mistake was his go-to line – 'Enemy within, enemy within, enemy within'.”
Foley said the frustrating part for him is that hard-working Americans can't see that Trump is “such an obvious man.”
Foley then made other criticisms of Trump's leadership and the Supreme Court.
“So, Donald Trump, are you going to put me in jail for criticizing your Supreme Court because I think Clarence Thomas is a disgrace to the Supreme Court,” Foley added. “I think Samuel Alito is a terrible person who does not belong on the highest court in the land. I don't think Brett Kavanaugh's interview in front of the Senate will get him a job as a dishwasher, let alone a career on the Supreme Court.”
Foley was a three-time WWE Champion who performed in multiple promotions and took a lot of hits from Hell in a Cell Cage as he participated in brutal hardcore matches.
Trump played a role in the WWE. His old Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey, sponsored WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V, and he participated in the Hare vs. Hare match at WrestleMania 23 at Ford Field in Detroit.
Foley is endorsing Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the presidential ticket.
On October 16, Trump was ahead of Harris in a Fox News national poll 50%-48%.
Harris, however, leads by 6 points among voters in seven key battleground states (within the margin of error for that subsample), and the candidates are tied at 49% among voters in nearby counties (where the Biden-Trump 2020 margin was less than 10 points).
Trump's advantage comes from a larger share of counties won by more than 10 points (64%-35%) in 2020 than in Harris County where Biden won by more than 10 points (58%-39%).
