Hogan recounted that Trump, during their conversation, seemed open to the idea of appointing the wrestling legend to lead the President’s Council on Physical Fitness. Hogan, quoted by The Hill from his interview with Fox, said Trump told him, “You know something, you’d be great to run the President’s Council on Physical Fitness.”
The statement suggests Trump’s recognition of Hogan’s public persona and his potential influence in advocating for healthier lifestyles, particularly among young Americans.
Hogan shared that their discussion delved deeper into the state of nutrition in the United States. He expressed concern about the quality of food available to Americans, especially when compared to international standards.
“At the end of the day, when I was in the back at Madison Square Garden after the whole rally, we were talking about Robert Kennedy. I was talking about nutrition, and how many foreign countries won’t even let their people eat the food that we eat here in America,” Hogan was quoted as saying.
He went on to emphasize the adverse effects of unhealthy food, stating, “It’s so bad, and it’s poisoned a generation of kids. And at the end of the day, we start talking about physical fitness.”
The idea of Hogan leading the President’s Council on Physical Fitness aligns with Trump’s focus on promoting health and fitness.

President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition
The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition (PCSFN) is a federal advisory body dedicated to promoting healthy eating and physical activity for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities.
On October 4, 2023, President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order extending the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition through September 30, 2025. This order supports the ongoing promotion of the National Youth Sports Strategy and directs the Council to focus on raising national awareness of the critical link between mental health, physical fitness, and nutrition.
Whether Hogan will be tapped for this position remains to be seen, but his recent remarks signal his openness to engaging in public service on these critical health issues.
