If and when Paul does get into politics, he will have Trump as a high-profile ally. Trump shared his own experience getting into politics as an outsider in the interview. 

"It's hard. A lot of people talk about it. You had to do it. And I had one shot left because you get to a certain age. You have a few years left. You know, the timing was good, but if I waited longer, it wouldn't have been good because of the clock. You know, the famous clock. Father time," Trump said. 

At a rally Wednesday, Trump gave Paul his "complete and total endorsement" should the boxer choose to pursue political office.
