"He made the best speech at the [Republican National] convention, and he was very proud,' Trump recalled. 'You know, he told me, 'I wish I came out stronger, but I didn't want to be criticized.'

He was an unbelievable showman.' 'You could be a good showman, but if you're not a physical specimen, it's not going to work...

'His knees were in trouble, his back was in trouble. He was in such trouble.' In one of his most poignant remarks, Trump added: 'He was a great man. He was an incredible gentleman, and he was really a great friend—and he was a great friend of MAGA.' Even in his final days, Hogan struggled with health and emotion. According to longtime friend Eric Bischoff, Hogan felt 'weak' and 'embarrassed' and was hesitant to be seen. But the Hulkster's fire never dimmed. 'It was work for him to have a conversation,' Bischoff recalled, 'but he was the same guy.' As for Trump's tribute, it wasn't just about a political ally or a celebrity friend. It was about a cultural icon. Once hesitant to mix fame with politics, Hogan finally broke his silence. Standing in a Milwaukee stadium packed with supporters, he tore off his shirt to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top and declared, 'Donald Trump is a real American hero, and I'm proud to support my hero as the next president of the United States.' Hogan was a longtime friend of President Trump, and the POTUS made sure to honor his memory once again with his heartfelt remark for the wrestling legend.
