Logan Paul has achieved great fame on social media over the years. In addition to being known as a YouTuber, he has achieved recognition in other sports. Including professional wrestling. One of his most successful projects is his podcast “Impaulsive,” where the reigning U.S. champion has interviewed celebrities of all kinds.
In relation to WWE, talents of the caliber of Cody Rhodes, Triple H, or Edge (Adam Copeland) have visited his studio. But the latest guest he has had has exceeded any expectations. Logan Paul has teased a blockbuster episode of his hit podcast with former President Donald Trump as his latest superstar guest.
Donald Trump has a well-documented history with WWE, spanning several decades. His relationship with the company and the McMahon family has been both personal and professional. And it has included appearances on WWE shows as well as a business collaboration with wrestling events. In recognition of his contribution and his long relationship with the company, Donald Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. But due to his involvement in several lawsuits, this move by Logan has surely left fans divided.

Logan Paul brings in another controversy
The YouTube sensation-turned-WWE wrestler previously held the number-one spot on the podcast charts with his show ‘Impaulsive.’ And his ratings will rise again this week with Trump’s appearance. Announcing the release of Thursday’s episode, Paul posed for a suit-and-booted photograph with the former president. In which the pair held Paul’s WWE United States Championship belt.
In another image, Paul and his co-host Mike Majlak are seen at the president’s home interviewing him for the show. With bottles of their Prime drink placed around the room. However, the announcement of the latest episode left fans divided. With many excited to hear it, and many others are angry that Paul is giving airtime to “a convicted felon” on his show.
On May 30, Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a landmark trial in Manhattan Criminal Court. The former president is now awaiting sentencing in July. With each of his convictions carrying a potential maximum sentence of up to four years in prison. So it is no wonder that several fans decided to bash Logan Paul for the move. Claiming that he would do anything for clout. And by now everyone is aware of the fact that he loves being surrounded by controversies. So much so, that it is foolish to expect something else from him.
Is this what they mean by “selling your soul”?

Your comment assumes anyone with a sense of decency supports Logan Paul to begin with. After his fiasco in Japan, that was done and over with.

Yeah it’s bad enough that his drink is trash and stores can’t give it away.

While some fans were being sarcastic in the comments. As they pretended that they did not know who Logan Paul was, instead confusing him with his brother Jake Paul. The brother who recently turned to boxing and is apparently a better fighter than the Maverick.
