Following Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. President in 2024, former WWE star Trevor Lee (formerly Cameron Grimes) expressed dismay in a tweet, writing, “Extremely disappointed in our country.”
Lee joined the chorus of public figures and citizens reacting to the outcome, where Trump narrowly defeated Kamala Harris by securing key battleground states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Context Behind Cameron Grimes’ Reaction
Trump’s victory marked his historic second term, edging out Harris after winning states that swung Republican in the final count. In his victory speech, Trump promised a “golden age for America,” addressing supporters alongside running mate JD Vance. The results, which brought control of the Senate to Republicans, left many Americans polarized, with reactions ranging from celebratory to deeply critical.
Grimes’ tweet reflects widespread concerns, as issues like reproductive rights, climate policies, and social justice are likely to shift under the new administration.
Fans’ Mixed Responses to Grimes’ Statement
Grimes’ tweet quickly garnered attention online, sparking discussion among wrestling fans on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit. Supporters praised his willingness to speak up, while others criticized his statement, emphasizing that athletes should focus on their professions rather than political issues.
This debate highlights the divided response to Trump’s return to office and the complex role public figures play in today’s political conversations.
