It’s nothing new for celebrities to dabble their feet into politics. Some don’t last long in the realm, while others establish a solid foothold. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great example of this phenomenon. However, does that mean every celebrity can do the same? Especially if they intend to run for president, a person with the most power in the country. Possibly in the world! A similar topic emerged in the latest episode of BS w/ Jake Paul.

Jake Paul is undoubtedly a genius when it comes to running businesses and marketing those businesses. He is hardworking and highly determined to achieve his goals. The fact that Jake made his way from barely beating Deji to defeating big names from MMA is enough to justify that. But can he achieve what Donald Trump has achieved? In a recent episode of his podcast featuring Chris Distefano, Jake presents a ludicrous reason why he is better than Trump. However, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson can prove to be a major hurdle in Jake’s way to the presidency.

Jake Paul presents a ridiculous reason for being better than Donald Trump

Deep into the episode, the topic of the presidency came up. One of the show’s hosts claimed, “We need somebody else in office.” Responding to the comment, Jake quickly brought all the attention to himself, claiming he would run for the president when he turns 35. “I am ready! As soon as I turn 35. I am in there like swimwear,” said Jake. 

Shocked by the surprising claim, Distefano asked if he was serious. Later, he claimed the landscape of politics is evolving rapidly, so Jake’s intention is a great idea. “I think politics, the landscape, it’s all changing, why not?” Distefano said during the podcast. In shock over Distefano’s agreement with Jake, a cohost asked, “You think he [Jake] can be president?”

That’s when Distefano roped Dwayne Johnson into the mix. He claimed that if Jake can beat Dwayne, it’s entirely possible. Even Jake stepped in to justify his statement with a seemingly nonsensical reason. “If Donald Trump from a reality TV show did it. Bro, my vlogs are ten times f***ing bigger than his stupid little show.” While Jake seems confident about being better than Trump, can he beat Dwayne Johnson to become president? Does ‘The Rock’ even want to run for president?

Dwayne Johnson on running for president

‘The Rock,’ wrestler and actor, started his career at WWE back in 1996 and rose to prominence in the show. He later started appearing in movies and, over the years, became a household name across the globe. While there have been instances where he has spoken about potentially running for president, nothing ever materialized. 

However, while appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Dwyane spoke out about his actual intentions. He mentioned during his time at WWE, he had missed spending time with his daughter. So, he would not be doing that to his other daughters by running for president now. However, Dwayne did not reject the possibility of the same happening sometime in the future.
