WWE superstar Joe Anoa’i, famously known as Roman Reigns, has openly declared his support for President Donald Trump as the wrestling world gears up for a major event this weekend.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the former WWE champion articulated his rationale for endorsing Trump, stating, “I support our president. Trump has a vast history and a huge background, making my choice very clear.”
Reigns elaborated on his perspective, highlighting Trump’s extensive experience across various fields—entertainment, business, and politics. He expressed a desire for “positive and competent leadership” to help the United States reclaim its stature as a world leader, emphasizing the importance of respect and responsibility on the global stage.
However, he also qualified his support, admitting he does not endorse every aspect of Trump’s behavior, particularly his confrontational stance towards political enemies. “It’s as if he needs that adversary,” Reigns mused, suggesting that Trump thrives on opposition for motivation.
When faced with the choice between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Reigns did not hesitate, stating, “One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard.”
