“Trump is a great president. He’s the best president in my eyes, a great businessman. And that’s what it’s about,” Mayweather stated. His comments have reignited conversations about Trump’s presidency and the varying perspectives on his policies and leadership style.
Mayweather’s Enduring Support for Trump
Mayweather’s support for Trump is not new. The former boxing champion attended Trump’s inauguration in 2017, showcasing his endorsement early on. Reflecting on Trump’s time in office, Mayweather emphasized what he sees as the former president’s lasting impact.
“We had Trump before, we didn’t appreciate him, but I think now we truly realize what he brought to the table,” he remarked.
His words suggest that he believes Trump’s presidency is now being viewed in a different light, particularly as the political landscape continues to shift.
Praise for Trump’s Business Acumen
Mayweather, who has built a successful career beyond the boxing ring, admires Trump’s business skills. The retired champion has made significant real estate investments and appreciates Trump’s background in business.
“He’s a great businessman, and that’s what it’s about,” Mayweather said, emphasizing the importance of financial intelligence and economic success. His perspective aligns with his own efforts in expanding his wealth outside of sports.
Beyond real estate, Mayweather has ventured into the fitness and health industry with his supplement brand, ‘101.’ “The thing about the products is we’re clean, and I say clean, very clean products,” he explained, stressing quality and reliability.
Public Reaction to Mayweather Comments
Mayweather’s statements have sparked mixed reactions from the public. Supporters praised his willingness to speak his mind, while critics questioned his perspective on Trump’s presidency. Despite differing opinions, his comments have once again placed Trump’s leadership under scrutiny.
Mayweather also credited his father for shaping his approach to business and success. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for my father. Hell of a trainer—great guy, great person,” he said.
As a prominent athlete and businessman, Mayweather’s endorsement of Trump continues to fuel political discussions, adding yet another voice to the ongoing debate over the former president’s legacy.
