Trump predicts Jake Paul will run for office — and offers his ‘complete endorsement’

President Donald Trump has “predicted” that 29-year-old influencer-boxer Jake Paul will run for political office. Trump invited the podcaster on stage while speaking at a packaging facility in Kentucky on Wednesday (11 March). It was followed by Jake Paul giving a speech praising the president, “ Mr. Trump has taught me courage”, the boxer said. “ I grew up just a few hours away from here and my dad taught me to fight, and all of our voices matter in America, and I'm never afraid to speak the truth”, he added. Taking back the podium after Paul, Trump bizarrely endorsed the “courageous” and “talented guy” adding, “ I'm gonna make a prediction. You will be in the not too distant future running for a political office.” “ And you have my complete and total endorsement.”
