Donald Trump found himself in trouble, as months before the elections he was charged with 34 felony counts. Amidst the news, former WWE superstar Shelton Benjamin asked a controversial question on social media, which left fans puzzled.
The World’s Greatest Athlete took to X and expressed his opinion with a question regarding the recent controversy involving Donald Trump. First and foremost, he clarified that it was not meant to provoke any political hatred. He stated the fact that, according to American law, it is illegal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. Considering that, Shelton Benjamin asked whether Trump was allowed to run the military as a convicted felon if he was reelected for the presidency again.
He stated that despite all the false claims made by Stormy Daniels, he still intended to pay the amount. The prosecution alleged that it was an effort to hide the truth behind the transaction during the 2016 election campaign. Trump’s defense attorney stood firm on his statement that he was completely unaware of the wrongdoings.
Here’s a nonbiased (not political but concerning politicians ) question on legality. In the U.S. a convicted felon is not allowed to legally own a firearm. So if/when Trump is reelected to the presidency is he allowed to run the military? I’m seriously curious.Shelton Benjamin on X
He was supposed to be named the party’s presidential candidate, but following the news of his being guilty of all charges, the road to becoming the most important man in the world seems impossible. Meanwhile, Benjamin expressed his desire to return to WWE if he ever received a phone call inviting him to join. The 48-year-old star was recently released in September 2023.
