Hulk Hogan dropped a huge hint that he might be a future pick in the incoming Donald Trump administration.
Speaking on Fox News over the weekend, the wrestling great told host Brian Kilmeade about a chat he had with the president-elect during the October Madison Square Garden rally. Hogan recalled: “My president said: ‘You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness’.”
Kilmeade played Hogan a clip from a recently-aired episode of The Daily Show, in which host Jon Stewart mocked the wrestler and Trump, joking that the WWE legend was going to be “Secretary of Take Your Vitamins”.

In response Hogan said: “At the end of the day, when I was in the back at Madison Square Garden after the whole rally, we were talking about Robert Kennedy, I was talking about nutrition and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America.
“It’s so bad and it’s poisoned a generation of kids. And at the end of the day, we started talking about physical fitness.”
According to Hogan, that’s when Trump pitched him the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition gig, saying the wrestler would be a great fit because “you’re still 71, you still got that Trump pump-on brother – it’d be great if you got all the kids in America into shape”.

Although Hogan said he was a “beach bum, brother, I love staying on the beach,” he also told Kilmeade: “You never know, it could happen.”
Many people have already raised eyebrows about Trump’s unorthodox cabinet picks so far. The 78-year-old MAGA man has so far picked Pete Hegseth as Defence Secretary, Robert Kennedy Junior as Health Secretary and Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence.
