Donald Trump, Linda McMahon pay tribute to Hulk Hogan

United States President Donald Trump and Linda McMahon were the latest big names to pay tribute to the late Hulk Hogan, following Vince McMahon and many from the wrestling industry including Sting, Triple H, Kevin Nash, and Kurt Angle.

Hogan passed away Thursday at the age of 71 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Florida home.

He famously appeared at the 2024 Republican National Convention to cut a promo in supporting Trump in his third run for the presidency.

Trump, a WWE Hall of Famer, posted the following on social media Thursday:

“We lost a great friend today, the “Hulkster.” Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way – Strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. He entertained fans from all over the World, and the cultural impact he had was massive. To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!“

McMahon, a Trump cabinet member and head of the Department of Education, posted the following on X:

Hulk was a dear friend and member of our WWE family. His legacy in and out of the ring will always be remembered. He was one of a kind!
