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.

    Dwayne Johnson has been showing back up in WWE events, and I do get the sense that he's tapped out on the Disney end of the money funnel. With all that Saudi cash flowing into combat sports and with Vince McMahon getting dragged out back like the rabid dog he is, I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson springboards from Vince's old position to a political campaign, with his eyes on the White House.

    Gotta distance himself from the wildly unpopular current liberal President if you're even going to begin that transition.

          Some bodybuilder guy we saw smoke weed in a documentary in the 70s and then starred in some Film adaptations of Philip K Dick stories became a conservative governor of California for eight years.
