Send Push
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley made a huge public statement regarding his reaction to Donald Trump's victory in the most recent U.S. election. Foley, contrasts his remarks with the joyous responses of other wrestling greats, underscoring the range of viewpoints within the WWE community about Trump's leadership. Even though it was quick, Foley's response encapsulated the disappointment that many people experience after Trump's victory.

Even though his opinions aren't always shared, Mick Foley, a well-known figure in the wrestling industry and beyond, has frequently utilized his position to speak out on social and political issues in the United States. Foley made it obvious before the election that he opposed Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Rather, he openly supported Kamala Harris, whom he believed was more qualified for the presidency. But when the election results were known, Foley's dreams came to an end when Donald Trump defeated Harris.

According to the official election tally, Trump secured 277 electoral votes compared to Harris’ 224, solidifying his place as the new President of the United States. This result left Foley deeply disappointed. Following the announcement, Foley took to Instagram to share his feelings, expressing his frustration with a single, straightforward word. “SAD,” he wrote, a statement that effectively captured his reaction to Trump’s win and his dismay over the future of U.S. leadership.



Foley’s reaction stands in stark contrast to some of his WWE peers, who expressed joy over Trump’s victory. Notably, WWE stars Kane and Hulk Hogan have publicly celebrated Trump’s win, voicing their optimism about the incoming president. Kane, who also has a political career as the mayor of Knox County, has been an open supporter of Trump’s policies, aligning more closely with the new president’s conservative approach.

But Foley's disappointment points to a more pessimistic view of what Trump's administration would bring to the US. Foley has frequently questioned the status quo and utilized his position to promote causes that he believes in throughout his career. His support for Harris was in line with his progressive beliefs since he hoped that fresh leadership would bring about a shift in course. Given that Trump is now in office, Foley's letter expresses both worry and apprehension about the future of the nation.

Although the wrestling community remains divided on Trump’s presidency, Foley’s reaction has resonated with many fans who share his discontent. His simple message, “SAD,” continues to generate discussion among followers who agree with his perspective, as well as those who support Trump and hope he will deliver positive change. As Foley expressed in his initial remarks, his concerns stem from a desire for what he believes is best for the country, making his disappointment a significant commentary on the outcome of the election.

As the U.S. begins a new chapter under Trump, it remains to be seen whether the new president’s actions will validate Foley’s concerns or prove his supporters, like Kane and Hulk Hogan, right.
