Pro Wrestling Icon Mick Foley Pounds ‘Douche Bag’ Trump In Brutal Direct Message

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris last week in a withering social media video targeting Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“I don’t want to talk about politics…but I feel like I have to. There is simply too much on the line to stand on the sidelines, because I don’t want to lose some fans,” the retired wrestler, who used ring names including Cactus Jack and Mankind, captioned the clip.
He specifically called out Trump’s alarming “enemy from within” comments, his violent and threatening rhetoric, and his reported failure to pay hundreds of contractors and businesses who have worked for him over the years.
“What frustrates me the most is that so many good, hardworking American people cannot see through such an obvious con man who is only out for himself,” Foley said.
“He lies almost every time he opens his mouth,” he added. “But you know what he’s not lying about? When he talks about coming after ‘the enemy within.’ The enemy within! Who is that? Could be anyone. It could be me.”
He also slammed the former president’s recent call for critics of the U.S. Supreme Court to be jailed — and then wrapped up the video with a message “directly” for Trump.
“Are you going to put me in jail for criticizing your Supreme Court?” he taunted.
“I’m so scared that I was thinking about calling you a douche bag in this interview,” he added. “And then I thought: that’s a pretty strong word. Trump might come after me, and I made the decision not to call you a douche bag, even though you are one.”
“Vote for Kamala Harris,” he concluded.
Foley and Trump were both inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. Foley also spoke out forcefully against the former president ahead of the 2020 vote.

Trump has been courting his old associates from the WWE — and their male-dominated supporters — in the lead-up to the election. Last week, he joined a podcast hosted by the former wrestling star, The Undertaker, for a friendly chat.
“The Undertaker was right. Donald Trump did make politics fun ― for about three weeks in 2016,” Foley said in a CNN interview Monday. “There’s nothing fun about his rhetoric. There’s nothing fun about the way he demeans citizens of this country. Nothing fun about the way he talks down to women. And in my experience, real men respect strong women, they don’t live in fear of them.
