President Trump is a big fan of Jake Paul and believes the YouTuber-turned-boxer has a future in politics.
Back in 2024, during the Presidential elections, Paul endorsed Trump over Kamala Harris.
“Do the right thing, vote for Donald Trump. Not because I said so, not because Beyoncé said so, but because it’s what’s right… Please, go, for the love of God, go exercise your right to vote on my behalf and vote for Donald Trump in this election. America depends on it.”
Paul and his brother Logan were eventually invited to the President’s inauguration after Trump became President.

On Wednesday, Paul attended Trump’s rally in Kentucky and was brought on stage.
During the rally, Trump spoke highly of Paul, and even endorsed him for office.
“He is a great guy. He is courageous and talented. A hell of a fighter too, by the way. I just want to say that I predict that you will be, in the not-too-distant future, running for political office. You have my complete endorsement. That’s what we wanted. He’s an incredible guy. Courage and smarts.”

Being rich and famous doesn’t mean you’re qualified to serve in elected office btw, dear god, as a society we have got to STOP letting the most entitled and mediocre people run our country. It’s destroying everything. https://t.co/WS4sXKcKI4
