Jake Paul and several other prominent combat sports figures took to X to react to Donald Trump's projected win in the 2024 United States presidential elections. Trump is a former president, having served as the 45th of its kind between 2017 and 2021.
Early reports indicate that Trump is projected to emerge victorious in a landslide. Naturally, this drew the attention of many on social media, including 'The Problem Child,' who tweeted his delight in a lengthy statement, part of which read the following:
"The truth and God won in America. This is a massive step in the right direction to heal the major issues going on in the world currently. America is saved."

Meanwhile, former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, who is a well-known Trump supporter, also shared his thoughts.
"Yep you guys were right... MSNBC was the move.... Currently watching an angry lesbian have a meltdown...."
UFC content creator Nina-Marie Daniele also echoed similar sentiments.
"Tonight's Forecast: expect heavy shower of liberal tears! Congratulations President Donald Trump."
One-time middleweight title challenger Marvin Vettori also expressed his delight over the provisional election results.
"Done deal let's go"
Elsewhere, former UFC middleweight Derek Brunson claimed that the moment Trump survived his assassination attempt, he was destined to win.
"And at this moment, I knew who was going to win the presidential election!"
Ex-interim lightweight champion and former 'BMF' king Justin Gaethje was also elated.
"SPEECH!!! God Bless the USA"
Aljamain Sterling, a highly accomplished former bantamweight champion, issued a lengthy statement on X/Twitter in support of Trump, part of which read:
"Historical time for the USA Today! I'm leaning towards Trump in hopes of a better economy for all social classes, ending of these horrible wars we're funding and involved in, and a better handling on mass immigration and vetting visitors."
For now, the official results have yet to be released, but seems likely that Trump will be the United States' 47th president.
Jake Paul was once associated with another politician
Donald Trump isn't the only politician with whom Jake Paul has interacted. He previously snapped a picture with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Curiously, UFC commentator Joe Rogan also praised Kennedy, and received tremendous backlash from his Republican fanbase, including Trump himself. Fortunately for him, cooler heads prevailed and he and Trump are now on better terms.
