Jake Paul appears interested in running for political office after being encouraged by President Trump.
Earlier this week, Paul attended Trump’s political rally in Kentucky, and was invited on stage by the President.
Trump would later endorse Paul for political office during his speech.
“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.”

Paul sat down with Trump for an interview after the rally and expressed interest in running for office, citing the President’s endorsement.
“I see myself trying to get more into this world, I believe it’s best way to create great impact, and change” Paul told Trump during the interview
Paul has been vocal about his politics on social media, and has found himself in hot water when he bashed Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl last month.
Purposefully turning off the halftime show
Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences
(which equals viewership for them)
You are their benefit. Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American…
