In a move guaranteed to spark widespread discussion and controversy, WWE United States Champion Logan Paul announced on Wednesday afternoon that his next guest on the “IMPAULSIVE” podcast will be none other than former President Donald Trump. This announcement has already stirred debate among wrestling fans and the broader public alike.
Paul took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news, posting a photo of himself and Trump posing with the WWE United States Championship belt. The tweet read: “United States Champion 🤝 United States President @realDonaldTrump. Podcast drops tomorrow @impaulsive,” and included a link to the podcast’s page.
In addition, a TikTok video posted by Trump shortly after the announcement showed Paul and Trump engaging in a mock face-off, with a member of Paul’s entourage holding up the US Title. The video concluded with the two laughing and embracing, highlighting the unexpected camaraderie between the internet sensation and the former president.

While specific details about their conversation have not been disclosed, it’s likely that they will touch on Trump’s history with WWE, where he is a Hall of Fame inductee. However, Trump’s recent legal issues may also be a topic of discussion. On May 30, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, with his sentencing scheduled for July 11. Whether Paul and Trump will delve into these legal troubles remains to be seen.
This episode of “IMPAULSIVE” drops just days before WWE’s highly anticipated Clash at the Castle event in Glasgow, Scotland. However, Logan Paul is not currently scheduled to participate in the event. His last match was during the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event in Saudi Arabia on May 25, where he unsuccessfully challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, just days before Trump’s conviction.
The decision to host Trump, a polarizing figure, has already garnered mixed reactions. Supporters see it as an exciting and bold move, while critics argue it could alienate part of Paul’s audience and spark further controversy. Nevertheless, the interview promises to be a major talking point across both the wrestling and political arenas.
Stephen’s Insight
Logan Paul’s decision to host former President Donald Trump on his podcast is a strategic move that underscores his penchant for courting controversy and drawing attention. This episode is set to attract significant viewership, given Trump’s polarizing nature and Paul’s vast audience reach. The timing, just before a major WWE event, further amplifies its potential impact.
