President Trump was honored by American Samoans on the same day he was praised by WWE superstar Roman Reigns. Reigns, who is of Samoan descent, spoke highly of Trump in an interview with Vanity Fair ahead of WrestleMania 41.

“One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard.” [When asked if that means that he backed Trump, Reigns pauses for a few seconds] “I support our president. Trump is one of those guys where he’s got a vast history and a huge background. He’s been in entertainment. He’s been in big business, politics. At this point, I’m supporting a bright future for our country.”
“Positive and competent leadership. For us to be what we’re supposed to be—to be a world leader and carry that respect and do what a world power like us should be doing.” [Reigns makes it clear that he doesn’t support everything he does] “It’s like he needs that adversary. He needs that opposition to bounce off of. He needs that competitive motivation or something.”
Not long after Reigns’ comments went viral, Trump was coincidentally gifted an “Ula Fala” by a group of American Samoans visiting the White House. The Ula Fala, a red necklace used for royalty in Samoan culture, also symbolizes the Tribal Chief in WWE lore.
