Mick Foley voiced his opinions regarding President Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the late director Rob Reiner, igniting a conversation within the wrestling community. On Monday, Trump was criticized after he attributed Reiner’s death to a condition he dubbed “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Musician Jack White was particularly vocal, condemning Trump for leveraging the tragedy to push his “fascist authoritarian agenda.”

In the realm of UFC, Trump made headlines again by announcing there would be “8 or 9” title fights during the UFC-White House event scheduled for June 2026. As this dialogue continues, it highlights the intersection of politics and entertainment in today’s culture, with Foley’s stance resonating with many who are critical of Trump’s approach.
