Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died of cardiac arrest on July 24, 2025, at his home in Florida. Former President Donald Trump, a close friend of Hogan for over 35 years, shared a heartfelt tribute, calling him “strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart.”
Their friendship began in the 1980s during WrestleMania events at Trump Plaza and grew beyond entertainment into deep personal loyalty. Trump Jr. and other family members also paid tribute, showing how close Hogan was to them.
Hogan’s death comes just months after surgery and days before launching a new wrestling league. His bond with Trump adds a rare human layer to both their legacies.
