Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson already has a few people supporting his potential presidential candidacy, including former colleague Mick Foley.
“I think he’d make a great candidate. He’d have my vote, for sure,” Foley, 51, told TMZ Sports. “He’s a young enough man that he could do one term or two terms and still get leading man roles in Hollywood.”
More importantly, Foley, who partnered with Johnson, 45, in “The Rock and Sock Connection” during their WWE days, thinks the “Baywatch” star could do great things for America.
“I think The Rock has the potential to unite this country in a very real way. I think he should run as an independent and make it clear that he wants to work with everyone,” Foley said. “He is a guy who cuts across party lines. I think people are colorblind when it comes to The Rock. They don’t see color, they just see this amazing individual, and I think he can bring people together.”
Foley also made it clear that Johnson could easily lay the smack down in a debate against Donald Trump.
“The other candidates were really out of their league when it comes to Trump,” Foley said. “But The Rock is in a league all of his own. I think his grasp on the issues is far better than our current president’s, I think he takes great pride in being as prepared as possible. I think they’d be great debates, I think they’d be amazing campaign appearances. I think the idea that someone else was outdrawing the president at campaign stops would rankle him to no end. I think it’d really hurt his ego.”
“The world is his oyster, it really is,” Foley gushed. “It’s up to him when and if he decides to shuck it, so to speak. So yeah, if he wants to be president, we will see a President Johnson.”
Foley’s isn’t the only endorsement Johnson’s earned so far. Michael Moore, NBCUniversal vice president Ron Meyer and wrestling legend Taz also threw their support behind the People’s Champion to be the people’s POTUS.
We may not know where The Rock stands on most issues, but he’s a fierce advocate for women’s rights:Â
