Mick Foley is doubling down on his stance against Donald Trump—and a new Instagram Story proves he’s not letting up.
The WWE Hall of Famer took to his Instagram Story on January 23, 2026 and reacted to reports that the Trump administration ordered the removal of slave history exhibits from the President’s House site in Philadelphia, a move many have called an attempt to whitewash American history. Foley didn’t hold back in his Instagram post, where he shared his disgust with Trump’s decision:
“Is there no bottom for how low this administration can sink? Traumatizing a large swath of people, while attempting to erase the history of another.”
This is just the latest chapter in Foley’s increasingly vocal opposition to Trump. His stance has already come at a personal cost. In December 2025, Foley publicly severed ties with WWE—where he’s long held a Legends contract—over what he viewed as the company’s refusal to distance itself from Trump. That decision came after Trump posted a cruel Truth Social “eulogy” for director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele following their tragic murder, mocking Reiner’s politics.
“Rob Reiner… reportedly [died] due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME… May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
Foley responded to Trump’s post by reposting musician Jack White’s blistering condemnation of Trump and adding his own message aimed at the WWE locker room:
“What @officialjackwhite said here is spot on. How any of my @wwe colleagues can stand by — let alone stand next to — this man is beyond me.”
The next day, Foley made his break with WWE, announcing on social media that he had informed WWE’s talent relations department that he would not make any appearances for the company while Trump is in office, and that he would not renew his Legends contract when it expires in June 2026.
“Reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me,” Foley wrote at the time. “I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy.”
Despite walking away from a legacy relationship with WWE, Foley made sure fans knew he wasn’t trying to erase his own past:
“I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me.”
In a follow-up interview with Orlando Weekly on January 6, 2026, Foley admitted that speaking out had alienated some longtime fans, but said he’s willing to deal with that fallout.
“People know that I’m not on board with a lot of things the current administration is doing,” Foley said. “I have fans who feel different, and still like and support me. And I have [fans] who dropped out of the fandom, which is obviously their right.”
Whether you agree with him or not, Foley’s not backing down. He’s putting principle ahead of popularity—and in today’s wrestling world, that makes his voice stand out more than ever.
