People are loving The Rock's subtle ripping of Trump on Jimmy Fallon
A LONG-READ GQ feature last week on Dwayne Johnson – aka The Rock – has been talked about around the world since it was published.
Why? Because The Rock was asked whether he might one day run for President of the United States – and he said he would.
And when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, it was obviously going to be brought up immediately
And he doubled down on it – saying that three and a half years is a long time and that he would consider a bid given the incredible groundswell of support that’s blown up.
But the best part of the interview was probably when he assessed the current President’s job so far:
“And you ask the question why. I think it’s because, you know, a lot of people want to see a different leadership today – I’m sorry, not different, but better leadership today, right? A better leadership.”

And then delivered the killer line:
“I think more poise, less noise”

He hasn’t lost his old school WWF ability to land a burn.
It seems like he’s just trying to deal with the sheer amount of support that’s come his way – and to get to the bottom of why it’s happened:
“I’m very flattered by it. Three and a half years is a long ways away. So we’ll see.”

So now… would we have to call him President Rock? President Johnson sounds more distinguished, in fairness.
His potential bid hasn’t gone down well with everyone though, as Time Magazine slated the idea yesterday:
Fair point.
But for those watching at home, the “more poise, less noise” line sounded like a campaign slogan they could get behind

And the actual polls this week show he has some proper support out there
Here we go, indeed.
