Speaking to host Will Cain, Johnson revealed that he's not happy with the state of America right now, highlighting "wokeness" and "cancel culture" as contributing to a division in the country that really bugs him.

“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics," he says. "I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me."

He is running.

    And I'm pretty damn sure he's doing it because he doesn't like the idea of having his fortune taxed so he's ingratiating himself with the "right" to help them politically so he and those like him can enjoy even more tax breaks.

    So many of these "oh man I made a mistake" famous voters just so happen to also be really wealthy.

      Nah, Biden has done nothing but tax breaks for the wealthy, this is an ego trip, pure and simple.

        Well yeah but Trump did more tax breaks for the wealthy, and clearly Mr. The Rock can't say no to even more money.

      I think he's doing it because his financial advisors ran some numbers and figured out the conservative social media grift pays more than the alternatives.
