WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has used his platform to weigh in on the 2026 midterm elections, calling Donald Trump “the most corrupt president in the history of the United States” in a video posted to his YouTube channel on October 30, 2026.
According to Ringside News, Foley delivered the message directly ahead of the midterms, explicitly asking Americans to consider voting for Democratic candidates even if that is not their usual political inclination. Foley first clarified his own political standing, noting that he is registered as an Independent, before making his appeal.
“I’m asking you to consider voting in a way you otherwise might not, to stop the corruption,” Foley said, according to Fightful’s report on the video. He went on to name Donald Trump directly, framing his comments around the idea that the former president believes he can act without accountability.
NoDQ similarly reported that Foley described Trump as “the most corrupt president in the history of the United States” in the same video, aligning with the other two outlets’ coverage of the remarks. All three reports place the video’s release on October 30, 2026, in the immediate run-up to Tuesday’s midterm elections.
A Recurring Voice on Political Issues
Foley, a WWE Hall of Famer best known for his decades-long in-ring career under personas including Mankind, Cactus Jack and Dude Love, has increasingly used his social media and YouTube presence to speak on political matters beyond wrestling. This latest video marks one of his more direct and pointed statements, moving from general social media commentary to an explicit call for fans to vote against the sitting president’s party in the midterms.
None of the three reports indicate any response from WWE, Donald Trump, or his representatives to Foley’s comments as of publication. The sources also do not specify further details of the video’s content beyond Foley’s registered political affiliation and his direct appeal to voters ahead of the election.
As a WWE Hall of Famer, Foley’s remarks carry weight within wrestling media circles, which is reflected in the near-simultaneous coverage from Fightful, Ringside News and NoDQ, all publishing within hours of one another on October 30, 2026.
