Jake Paul has been given a glowing endorsement from the President of the US to run for public office.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is just 29-years-old, but has already made tens of tens of millions through his business ventures that include a boxing run and years as an influencer and Disney star. But along with his jaw needing a second surgery and his return to sparring pushed back, he could possibly be eyeing a brand new profession.
If he does determine to make the switch to politics, he has the backing of President Donald Trump, whose Kentucky rally he spoke at early today. The fighter has shown an increased interest in social issues lately, and his older brother Logan Paul has also eyed a run for office in future.

President Donald Trump offers Jake Paul his full endorsement
On Wednesday afternoon, the day after he appeared at Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano’s press conference in Los Angeles, Jake Paul appeared to talk in support of President Trump at his latest rally in Kentucky.
The controversial boxer appeared on stage to a big applause from the gathered crowd, before declaring his continued support for the embattled President. And when President Trump returned to the stage, he noted that he believes Paul will at some point run for office in his own right.
“I just need to say I predict, I’m going to make a prediction, that you just shall be within the not too distant future, running for political office, OK?” Trump said to the previous Disney actor. “And you might have my complete and total endorsement, OK?”
Paul was equally gushing in his words in regards to the President, alluding to the concept that he was inspired by his leader to tackle the challenge of Anthony Joshua back in December that saw him suffer his first knockout defeat.
“What Mr. Trump has taught me is courage,” Paul said. “You already know, we never backed down from a fight, even in the event that they’re much greater than you, much, much greater than you. And I feel all of the local Kentuckians feel the identical way.”
Could Jake Paul be president?
In fact, Jake Paul shall be too young to run for President in 2028 as he’ll only be 31 on the time of the election along with his thirty second birthday landing a matter of days before the 2029 inauguration. He would technically be sufficiently old for the 2032 ticket.
And in all seriousness, he might have to start eyeing up a profession after fighting. He continues to face complications stemming from his broken jaw which he suffered by the hands of Anthony Joshua back in December.
