‘Keep hitting Mike’: Trump retweets video of Mike Tyson training at 53 with terrifying speed

President Donald Trump has shared a video encouraging Mike Tyson as he shows off his boxing skills at the age of 53.

Tyson is seen during a powerful training session 15 years after his last professional fight and only a week after he said he wanted to return to the ring.

Trump, who has had a difficult friendship and business partnerships with the star for at least 30 years, retweeted a clip where Sports Center commented that “it was still scary.”

Keep hitting Mike! President Donald Trump shared on Twitter Sunday morning

Trump and Mike Tyson have known each other for more than three decades and was once the boxer’s financial manager.

The clip was originally released Friday by Tyson, nicknamed ‘the baddest man on the planet’ throughout his career, who was connecting BlueRay’s release of the Bad Boys For Life movie by Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

‘I’m a bad boy for life. Watch #BadBoysforLife now on DVD Blueray @realmartymar #willsmith #stillthebaddestmanontheplanet, ‘Tyson tweeted.

Trump and Tyson have had a personal and professional relationship that lasts for more than 30 years.

Earlier in his career as a real estate agent, Trump is said to have seen Tyson’s intimidation of opponents’ tactics as inspiration.

He then became his financial manager in the 1980s and, despite the fact that the trade partnership ended after a couple of years, Trump has publicly shown his support for Tyson.

Despite Tyson accusing Trump of having an affair with his then-wife Robin Givens at one point, Trump wrote in his 1988 book The Art Of The Deal.

Tyson called himself “the baddest man on the planet” in Friday’s original tweet.

However, Trump later showed his support for Tyson after he was convicted of rape.

Tyson also endorsed Trump for president in 2016 and is said to have played a pivotal role in obtaining votes.

With the elections six months away, Tyson could be useful to have Trump at his side once again.

Tyson could be back in the spotlight as he revealed last week that he wanted to return to the ring for a four-round exhibition fight in an attempt to ‘earn some money to help some drug-affected and homeless mothers like me’.

The former heavyweight champion also revealed last month that he smokes $ 40,000 worth of pot smoking each month, about ten tons of weed.

Tyson sells about $ 500,000 in cannabis each month on his 420-acre ranch in California, he said on his Hotboxin ‘podcast.

The fighter has bold plans for his Tyson Ranch, a drug addiction playground that, like the Trump properties, will feature a luxury hotel and a golf course. After Tyson’s boxing career, he endured years of substance abuse and says cannabis helped him get out of his routine.

There will even be a Tyson University to teach cannabis cultivation techniques to future farmers.

Despite becoming the head of a weed empire, Tyson doesn’t actually grow or produce any marijuana.

Instead, everything is obtained and inspected to meet its high standards and receives the Tyson seal of approval.

Its strains should be grown indoors, harvested based on maturity, cured for 30 days to ensure natural flavorings, natural derivatives, hand-trimmed, pesticide-free, and lab-tested, according to the Tyson Holistic website.

Tyson put his lucrative name on various strains of marijuana, expanded to CBD dog treats, and hemp oil massage.
