Several years ago I watched Trump perform on a pay-per-view Wrestlemania show
at a friend’s house in Atlanta. It was real male smoker. We hooted and
made off-color jokes as we drank my friend’s fine wine and some smoked
huge cigars. Between matches, Trump in a black trench coat trailed by
two thugs made violent threats as he searched for Vince McMahon, the
billionaire CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. Before the main
event, Trump found McMahon, and with the two thugs dragged the beefy
billionaire into the ring, where he was tied to a chair. With a big
grin, Trump, then, roughly shaved McMahon’s head. There was some fiction
about revenge for something; but none of that mattered. What mattered
was the theater. McMahon played the victim to the hilt: He wailed in
pain and humiliation and made vengeful threats. In a previous
Wrestlemania outing, Trump pummeled McMahon about the head and shoulders
next to the ring. The crowd loved it! McMahon’s wife, Linda, a WWE
manager, of course, ran unsuccessfully for a senate seat in Connecticut
where the WWE is headquartered. You can’t make this stuff up.
