Triple H Surprised By How Many WWE Fans There Are In The White House

Donald Trump's White House is filled with WWE fans, according to WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

Triple H has visited the White House on several occasions in recent months as part of his involvement with the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, and Levesque said about walking through the building on the All-In podcast:

"It's amazing to me when I walk through the White House – over the last few months I've been there quite a few times – how many people in the White House are huge fans of WWE."

Triple H also continued to laud Donald Trump after being asked about the current president of the United States' ties to WWE.

"Yeah, I mean, I think if you go back through history, even in politics, and you look at the person that gets elected in every presidential cycle, it's the most charismatic person on that stage that gets elected president. The issues are important, all the real-life day-to-day things that are important to people obviously are there, but at the end of the day, they're picking who they like. They're picking who connects with them. They're picking who is charismatic to them," Triple H added.

"Donald Trump was very good in our world of WWE because he was okay to be himself. He was okay to sort of get egg on his face and be embarrassed sometimes. He was okay to put it all out there and just be him. But he's charismatic. He's larger than life. He's not afraid to say what's in front of them, right or wrong. The Rock is the same way. That connection with people is really, in my mind, what drives the planet."

Donald Trump was involved in the Battle of the Billionaires with Vince McMahon at 2007's WrestleMania 23, and he would make further WWE appearances in 2009. Trump may soon make another appearance on WWE TV as people in the company believe he will be in attendance for John Cena's final match at the December 13 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Washington, DC.

Triple H has become more involved in politics since Donald Trump returned to the White House, and his political commitments have caused Levesque to miss some tapings of WWE TV. This has reportedly prompted people within WWE to say Triple H's political priorities have "started to hurt the company."
