Triple H on Donald Trump: “he just captivates people”

Apr 14, 2025 - by staff

Triple H offered high praise for President Donald Trump, highlighting his natural charisma and ability to generate attention in a way that mirrors professional wrestling psychology. “I think Trump’s ability…like him or hate him the way he does it…but he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes getting under peoples skin, generating [heat]. It’s amazing and it’s genius, and it worked in our business,” Triple H said, likening Trump’s public persona to a wrestling heel — someone who thrives on controversy and crowd reaction.

He pointed out that Trump’s notoriety wasn’t due to his wealth alone but rather his presence and media savvy. “There’s a lot of billionaires in the world, why was he the most famous one, why was he the one that was in People Magazine every week and with everybody under the sun, why was he seen as the epitome of that billionaire status,” Triple H asked rhetorically. He answered his own question by emphasizing Trump’s unique qualities: “Because of his charisma and his character and who he is, and the way he can speak about it and do all those things, he just captivates people.”

    “True. He used a 3 inch one.” is less, not more. I was just doing a ‘little’ play on words there.

    @ Luke–You said “True. He used a 3 inch one.” To me, that’s less, not more. I was just doing a ‘little’ word play there. Sorry my joke fell ‘short’.

    It didn’t fall short, I was just trying to extend it…

  4. Any wrestling this weekend?

    You tell me, I’m not the one that can’t keep up with new articles whenever Donnie the Hall of Fame Genius President farts or sneezes…

    It’s funny how on a wrestling news site, the many articles about actual wrestling have very little comments while the few political articles seem to have a ton of them.

    You post an article that has President Trump, or even anyone connected to him, or even mentioning his name, there will be comments. I’m just casting a line for mullets, reeling them in without much effort. As I do so, they keep coming back to the same articles. It’s all about driving traffic to your site.

  8. Not DB says:

    Don’t listen to him, Steve. He’s just baiting. In fact, whenever the President’s name is mentioned, he always jumps into action without thinking straight. He’s just casting a line — liar. His real intention is to masturbate with mullets.

    @Steve Gerweck
    Here’s a novel idea. How about you stop posting political articles and stick to wrestling-related ones?

    @DB
    Thank you, oh exalted one. Without you this bastion of knowledge would be dead and long gone…

    @Joseph
    Because that’s exactly what politics aim to do, keep people in conflict. And people are getting dumber literally by the day now (worldwide, it’s not just you guys, although you do lead the pack), so it’s never been this easy.

  10. What? says:

    Interesting that the guy who runs a wrestling site and presumably decides which articles get posted to that site gets all chagrined when articles barely connected to wrestling get all the comments and then keeps posting articles barely connected to wrestling. If you wanted to enact a “no political articles” policy, you could do that. I wouldn’t mind one bit if you did do that. But somehow I doubt you’ll do that because the increased clicks speak just a little louder.

    @Luke
    The problem isn’t the fact that political articles are published on here. The problem is how people respond to the articles and the people commenting on them.

  12. Luke says:

    @Joseph
    Of course. But do you know a better way to prevent it?

  13. Joseph says:

    @Luke
    Maybe there isn’t a better way. Maybe the only solution is to get rid of politics on this site all together. It’s honestly quite sad that as adults, we can’t act like adults when disagreeing on certain things.

  14. Luke says:

    @Joseph
    Never had that problem with you and we’ve disagreed plenty.

  15. Joseph says:

    @Luke
    You’re right. We’ve always been civil towards each other when disagreeing on something. I think that maybe that’s because when we disagree about something we’re not just posting stuff to rile the other person up.

  16. Not Gerweck.net says:

    I know no one like the political posts I put up but I need the traffic to my site but at least hhh saying it has a connection to wrestling

  17. DB says:

    Happy Easter to everyone. May you all have a safe, and enjoyable day.

  18. Joseph says:

    @DB
    I echo your sentiment.
