LOGAN Paul grinned next to former President Donald Trump as the two sat down for an interview.
Trump posed for a photo holding Paul’s WWE United States Championship surrounded by bottles of American flag-themed Prime, Paul’s energy drink with KSI.
“United States Champion, United States President,” Paul shared on Instagram with a hand-shaking emoji.
“From interviewing for a college scholarship at 18 years old (which I didn’t get) to interviewing the president at 29.
“The glow-up is real.”
Trump is set to appear in an episode of Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive with Logan Paul, which appears tomorrow.
The episode was filmed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
A member of Trump’s team reportedly reached out to Paul to schedule the interview, reported TMZ.
A source told the outlet that Paul is also interested in interviewing President Joe Biden.
Paul reportedly wants to share both sides of the upcoming presidential election with his massive audience.
His team has apparently reached out to the White House to see if Biden is interested.
Other photos in the post showed an 18-year-old Paul dressed in a suit while the last photo featured Paul and his co-host, Mike Majlak, talking with Trump.
Trump shared a TikTok teasing the interview showing Majlak standing between Paul and Trump holding the US Title as the two men had a stare-down before laughing and hugging one another.
“Face off with @LoganPaul drops tomorrow…” read the caption.
Paul’s brother, Jake, commented, “That’s a W.”
“The collab we didn’t know we needed!” wrote another person.
“Too much aura to handle,” wrote a third person.
The meeting comes just two weeks after Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his historic hush money trial.
SUPERSTAR
Paul made his WWE debut in April 2021 after appearing on an episode of SmackDown.
He had his debut at WrestleMania 38, teaming up with The Miz to take on the father-and-son duo of Dominik and Rey Mysterio.
What are Donald Trump's next steps?
A jury in New York City has found Donald Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide hush money he had paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.
The first former US President to be convicted of a felony but remains the Republican frontrunner in his bid for the White House against Joe Biden.
Trump’s sentencing date is scheduled for July 11, 2024, however, his attorneys may try to push this until after the presidential election on November 5, which is unlikely to happen without good cause.
Trump, 77, is still allowed to speak to the press, travel outside the state, and continue his presidential campaign.
His guilty verdict also doesn’t automatically make him a convicted felon.
The charges against Trump are Class E felonies, the least serious category in New York law with each count carrying a maximum four-year prison sentence.
Trump could also pay fines and restitution as part of his sentence or face probation.
Judge Juan Merchan said he is weighing several factors regarding Trump’s sentence, including his age and lack of a criminal record, however, the former President’s actions during the trial could also play a role in the judge’s decision.
A guilty verdict doesn’t prevent Trump from running for president.
The US Constitution requires that potential US presidents be:
- Natural-born US citizens
- At least 35 years old
- Have lived in the country for at least 14 years
Felons are not barred from holding office.
Paul and The Miz were successful and Paul later signed a multi-event contract with WWE on June 30, 2022.
He challenged then-Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, for the title at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia on November 5 of that year.
Despite being unsuccessful, the match received critical acclaim, however, Paul was sidelined after suffering a sprained meniscus and MCL.
He returned from injury at the 2023 Royal Rumble match, eliminating Seth “Freakin” Rollins but was eliminated by the eventual winner, Cody Rhodes.
In February 2023, Paul signed a multi-year contract with WWE, which saw more appearances from the star and with Paul stating that he wanted to win a championship.
He would achieve this goal after beating Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship on the November 4, 2023, edition of Crown Jewel.
