Trump, as you know by now, appeared as a performer on the WWE and is, by all accounts a big fan of the show. Get this:
Back in 2007, WWE ran a storyline that culminated with CEO Vince McMahon being blown up in a limo. You don’t need me to tell you that McMahon is still alive and was not actually blown to pieces, because you aren’t a moron who thinks wrestling is real. Apparently, the same cannot be said for our future president.
Last night, a 2008 clip from the Opie and Anthony Show began recirculating. In the clip, WWE wrestler/McMahon son-in-law Triple H briefly mentions the limo-explosion storyline, and then reveals that Donald Trump—a longtime pro wrestling performer, mind you—called McMahon’s office to find out if he had really died after the explosion aired:
Maybe they were lying about Trump calling in. I hope so. But it's unnerving enough to know that the president elect of the United States was a pro-wrestling performer much less that it's entirely believable that he would fall for a scripted wrestling story line. But look at all the other nonsense he believes. Why not this?
