### Inspiration for Endorsing Trump
Hulk Hogan Electrifies RNC with Impassioned Trump Endorsement
Hogan's decision to endorse Trump stemmed from years of observing the state of the nation. "I sat back and was silent for years while watching what was happening to our country," he explained.
The alleged assassination attempt on Trump further solidified Hogan's resolve to speak out. "When they did that to Trump, and they tried to kill him, I said, that was it. ... That's when I said enough is enough. I'm done."
### Dr. Hogan's "Cure" for Trump Derangement Syndrome
Hogan shared his belief that Trump's qualities could counteract the pervasive "Trump Derangement Syndrome." "I thought, 'I'm Dr. Hogan, I can fix Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Donald Trump has so much love, and he cares so much about this country. He cares so much about people. Trumpamania is the cure for Trump Derangment Syndrome. But I forgot to say it."
### Personal Experiences with Trump
Hogan painted an image of Trump as a compassionate and genuine individual, contrasting the portrayal often depicted in the media. "He was such a kind person. He was just so nice all the time. And I watched how he treated people, and he treated everybody the same. It was really cool to see that this guy hasn't changed a bit. And all the stuff that the press writes about him, he's not that guy."
### Hulkamania Takes the Stage
As one of the opening speakers at the RNC, Hogan capitalized on his wrestling fame, bringing the crowd to life with his signature catchphrases. When asked about the iconic shirt rip, Hogan attributed it to his frustration with the perceived attacks on Trump.
"I was upset when they took a shot at my hero," he said. "Enough was enough, and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trumpamania rule again. Let Trumpamania make America great again."
### Optimism for America's Future
Hogan expressed confidence in Trump's ability to restore America to its former glory. "America is going to get back on track" with Trump as president, he predicted, supported by the "Trump-ites" for the next four years.
