Hulk Hogan has revealed that he no longer supports US President Barack Obama.

The former WWE Champion endorsed Obama in the 2008 presidential election, but has now revealed that he's been disappointed by the leader's first term.

"I was a big Obama supporter and kinda, like, believed everything he said he was gonna do. But now that nothing's happened [I've lost faith]," Hogan told Fox and Friends.

Hogan said that he objected to Obama using his WWE theme song 'Real American' at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner and also teased that he may run for office.

"I kinda was a little upset that he didn't ask me permission to use my music. But the change of heart is that I think I should be president. I know nothing about politics. I think a flat tax across the board would straighten everything out," the wrestler joked.

In August, Hogan seemed to suggest that he could end the riots that were raging across the United Kingdom.
