"Whether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that. Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a country. So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that," Johnson said.

Johnson also recalled how Trump was a fan of his wrestling matches in New York City. "He used to come watch me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. First time I saw him, he said ‘let me see the eyebrows,’" Johnson joked, referencing a popular meme regarding his eyebrow.

Regarding his previous endorsement of President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, Johnson told "Fox & Friends" host Will Cain in April that he regretted the division it caused and would not be endorsing a candidate this year.

"The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time," he said.

"Am I going to do that again this year? That answer's no. I'm not going to do that," he told Cain. "Because what I realized that what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts back then and now, which is division. And that got me."

Johnson reiterated that he believes in bringing the country together and that his decision not to endorse is in line with that goal.

"I'm gonna keep my politics to myself, and I think it's between me and the ballot box," he said.

Johnson's decision not to endorse a candidate in the upcoming election has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised his commitment to unity, while others have criticized him for not taking a stand.

Ultimately, Johnson's political views and decisions are a matter of personal opinion. However, his comments on the assassination attempt against Trump and his reasoning for not endorsing a candidate this year have sparked a dialogue about the role of celebrities in politics and the importance of national unity.
