Dwayne Johnson recently paid a visit to the Pentagon and met with several security forces personnel. ‘The Rock’ posted about his ‘productive’ time at the central body responsible for the security of the US on social media. While a meeting with the nation’s soldiers is a typical ‘Rock’ thing, his recent post is making shockwaves because of the presidential speculations around him.
Johnson wrote, “Productive meeting in the Pentagon. Appreciate everyone’s valuable time. And great to meet some of our military cadre – thank you for waiting.” His words directly portray that the visit to the Pentagon was both planned and official.
This made new ripples everywhere, especially when Dwayne Johnson recently became vocal about the Presidential election offer he received. He had previously shared he got messengers from both parties saying that he had a great chance to become the President. This was the aftermath of a 2021 poll that revealed 46% of Americans would support his campaign. He shared this information on Trevor Noah’s podcast.
