🇺🇸 Jake Paul on X: America is not a spectator sport

Apparently Logan and I going to Washington meeting with the Vice President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and other leaders of this country really pisses some people off

Good.

Because I’d rather be in the room asking questions, learning, challenging ideas, building relationships, and figuring out how I can help than sitting behind a screen telling everyone else what they should be doing

Twitter fingers have never built a country

Think about how insane the American Dream really is

Two brothers with a camera and a crazy amount of ambition can build businesses, compete on the biggest stages in the world, employ hundreds of people, invest in the future of this country and one day walk into Washington and sit across from the people helping lead it

That should inspire people not offend them

Washington doesn’t belong to commentators.
It doesn’t belong to celebrities.
It doesn’t belong to politicians.

It belongs to the American people

And whether people like me or hate me I’m going to keep showing up

Keep learning.
Keep building.
Keep investing in American companies.
Keep creating jobs.
Keep supporting American innovation.
Keep meeting the people doing the hard work.
Keep sticking my neck out.
And keep trying to leave this country stronger than I found it.

The next generation needs to believe that America is still a place where you can dream impossibly big, work your ass off, get knocked down, reinvent yourself, and eventually find yourself in rooms you never thought you’d enter

This country gave me opportunities beyond anything I could have imagined

I intend to give something back

You can spend your life commentating from the cheap seats or you can get on the field

I know where I’ll be

God bless the United States of America
