Anoa’i is a registered Democrat, but he considers himself a centrist. In the most recent election, however, he says the choice was “very clear.”
“One person was giving us information. One person was answering questions, so it wasn’t that hard,” he says.
When I ask if that means that he backed Trump, Anoa’i 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,” Anoa’i says. “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.”
Anoa’i doesn’t back everything the president does, like his penchant for nursing grievances against political rivals. “It’s like he needs that adversary,” he says. “He needs that opposition to bounce off of. He needs that competitive motivation or something.” Trump’s pugilistic approach, of course, is not unlike WWE’s own template. It’s why, in the Trump era, wrestling has been held up as a Rosetta stone for understanding modern politics.
