In a nearly 19-minute social media video in October, Jake Paul defended Donald Trump, drawing a historical parallel. “Trump is labeled a ‘felon,’ but remember, the founders of this country were seen as felons by Britain for demanding change.” Paul’s remarks came in response to Trump’s conviction in May by a federal jury in New York on 34 felony counts, which stem from allegations of false invoices, cheques, and ledger entries tied to a $130,000 hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
This paints a vivid picture of just how firmly ‘The Problem Child’ stands behind the President-Elect. As you may have heard, Donald J. Trump has won the presidency, improving upon his 2020 performance by gaining ground in both red and blue states, while securing enough swing states to surpass the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. To celebrate Trump’s success, Paul jumped on Instagram earlier today with a unique video that featured a Trump lookalike, adding his own personal touch to the celebration.
Paul is slated to lock horns with legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The duo will go head to head in an unusual eight-two-minute round professional boxing match—wearing 14-ounce gloves. Before the fight though, Paul saw Trump’s victory, or “W,” as his own, which became evident through his social media post today. So, what exactly did Paul share?

The 27-year-old shared a video of himself working out in his gym, with a Trump lookalike dancing in the background, mimicking the President’s signature moves. As the video played out, ‘El Gallo’ captioned the post, “First W✅ Second W in 9 days,” implying that Trump’s victory was the first win, with a potential victory over Tyson set to be the second.
This comes a week after Jake Paul endorsed Donald Trump in the previously mentioned 19-minute video on social media, despite not being able to vote himself.

‘The Problem Child’ moved to his $16-million-dollar mansion in Dorado, Puerto Rico, back in May 2023, which meant he could not vote in the recent presidential elections. Despite that, he cared too much for the future of the country. “History shows that sometimes those who challenge the system are the ones who make a difference,” Paul said elaborating on Trump’s conviction.
At another point in the clip, the social media star said, “To be frank, I’m not concerned with Donald Trump’s ‘character flaws’ or what he’s done in the past.” However, what Paul did care about was how great of a president Trump can be because that would be his job and something that will affect the people of the country.
He even commented on the issue of abortion rights, noting, “Trump isn’t trying to take away rights but to allow each state to decide on this issue.” ‘The Problem Child’ also had things to say about the opportunities for women. “If you really cared about women and their opportunities and their lives, I think it would be better to have a president that doesn’t want biological men competing in women’s sports,” Paul said.
