WWE Hall of Famer Kane addresses the attempt on Donald Trump's life; names Brock Lesnar

Kane (Glenn Jacobs) is among the several athletes who have reacted to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Knox County's current mayor even mentioned Brock Lesnar when he discussed the former United States President.

Trump took a bullet to his right ear on Saturday at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI called it an assassination attempt, and the agency is still gathering information on why the suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, wanted the 78-year-old dead.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kane reacted to the attempt on his fellow WWE Hall of Famer's life. He called the presidential candidate the "baddest" dude he had ever met, comparing him to Lesnar.

"I used to think Brock Lesnar was the baddest dude that I'd ever met. After yesterday, I'm pretty sure it's Donald Trump," Glenn Jacobs wrote.

While Trump survived the assassination attempt, a bystander named Corey Comperatore was killed, and two others were critically injured.
