Donald Trump is the toughest of them all. They've thrown everything at Donald Trump, all the investigations, the impeachments, the court cases, and he's still standing and kicking their butts.”

Hulk Hogan and Donald Trump have been friends for a long time.
One day later, Hogan explained how fired up he was at the convention.
"I felt a rumble, and so I started pushing the gas down and more. I pushed the gas pedal down the more they responded," Hogan told Fox & Friends on Friday, July 19. "When they did that to Trump, and they tried to kill him, I said, that was it. … That's when I said enough is enough. I'm done."

"I thought, 'I'm Dr. Hogan, I can fix Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Donald Trump has so much love, and he cares so much about this country. He cares so much about people. Trumpamania is the cure for Trump Derangment Syndrome. But I forgot to say it," he added.
Hogan also gushed over their friendship, stating: "He was such a kind person. He was just so nice all the time. And I watched how he treated people, and he treated everybody the same. It was really cool to see that this guy hasn't changed a bit. And all the stuff that the press writes about him, he's not that guy."
