Donald Trump’s Old Friend Claimed Why Dwayne Johnson Should Not Become President Back in 2021: ‘You Have to Give an Opinion’

A career in politics sounds appealing, but is it, really? A political career either makes or breaks your legacy. Several times, athletes and celebrities have changed their profession to switch to a career in politics and it has not always proven to be a good choice.

A couple of years ago, two Hollywood actors voiced their opinions on running for the POTUS. While the President of the United States is not something anybody can be, two persons had the capability and support to become so. Dwayne Johnson and Matthew McConaughey voiced their opinions about becoming the President.

The wrestler-turned-actor had plans to run for the President of the United States. A consumer research poll by Piplsay showed that around 46% of Americans would support Dwayne Johnson running for the Presidential candidacy. That very poll had him ranked higher than Matthew McConaughey, Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, and Tom Hanks.

However, radio host and a former friend of Donald Trump, Howard Stern, did not belong in that 46%. Stern had a very opposing opinion, and stated via NYdaily News, “You know what it is with these guys is that they don’t understand, once you run for office, you actually have to give an opinion.”

Stern stated how The Rock is the most non-controversial figure ever, and how everyone likes him. He claimed that the military people think The Rock is a part of them and the police think the same. He further claimed that Joe Biden supporters think he is a part of their group, while Trump supporters think the same.

The radio show host dissed both Dwayne Johnson and Matthew McConaughey for running for President. He stated that once The Rock had to speak on abortion rights or the Interstellar actor had to speak on gun violence, people would suddenly turn against them.

Is Dwayne Johnson finally running for The POTUS?

The Great One finally provided a statement regarding his run for The President of the United States. Speaking to Tracy Smith of CBS Sunday Morning, he gave a major update regarding his political career.

He stated that he would not be running for the position. Instead, he likes to spend some time with his family and children. However, he was asked the same question by CNN’s Jake Tapper. The Rock said, “In terms of presidency, I gotta tell you, Jake. It all I think is the convergence of things that are surreal and inspiring.” Although he has not ruled himself out of the competition, his plans to run for the position seem doubtful.
