President Trump held a rally in Hebron, Kentucky, on Wednesday night.
Trump was in the Bluegrass state to show his support for Ed Gallrein, a former Navy SEAL officer who is looking to oust Rep. Thomas Massie in the upcoming Republican primary.
During one part of his rally, Trump invited YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul on stage.
As Paul joined Trump on stage, the 47th President announced he would be endorsing Paul if he ever decides to run for any office in the future.
USA Today reported more on Trump’s endorsement:
President Donald Trump endorsed boxer and podcaster Jake Paul for political office during a Kentucky rally even though he isn’t campaigning for anything – yet.
“I’m going to make a prediction that you will be, in the not-too-distant future, running for political office,” Trump said. “You have my complete and total endorsement.”
Paul joined Trump onstage at the president’s urging.

Paul later joined Trump on stage, where he thanked Trump and gave God glory:

The Hill reported more on Trump’s rally:
President Trump lashed out at Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) on Wednesday, accusing the seven-term Republican of opposing the president’s agenda and urging Kentucky voters to replace him in Congress.
ADVERTISEMENTIn a visit to a packaging plant in Hebron, Ky., which lies in Massie’s 4th Congressional District, Trump said Massie’s vote against the president’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act — a massive package of tax cuts and tougher immigration laws — had threatened to undermine national security and hurt working-class people economically.
“He’s the worst,” Trump told the cheering crowd. “He only votes no. He just votes no. It doesn’t matter. I could give him the best things in the history of a Republican voter, and he’d vote no. There is something wrong with him.”
Trump is endorsing Massie’s primary opponent, Ed Gallrein, a farmer and former Navy SEAL officer who has never held political office. Trump said Gallrein decided to get into the race because Massie is “not doing right for our president.”
Gallrein, in turn, is vowing not to stray from Trump on any issue facing the country.
Here’s the moment Trump took some jabs at Massie:
President Trump says he has a goal of removing Thomas Massie from the United States government.
Trump says Massie is disloyal to the Republican Party, the people of Kentucky, and the United States of America.
"We have to get rid of this loser."
