    Trump does have experience in the WWF(WWE). I remember him actually involved in the wrestling. I don’t remember what it was exactly. Maybe a chair across the back or something. It was back when he was building his “brand” to what it is today. Stunts like that made him very popular with the average person.

      I wasn’t watching wrestling at the time, but I think he was involved for awhile, more than just a chair to the back. I think WWF and The Apprentice were how he came to be seen as a tough guy and a good businessman by his base. It’s darkly hilarious, yet saddening.

        He makes back to the future, and idiocraty look like documentaries.

        I just remember a time when he actually went ringside to join the performance. I don’t think he did it often, but he did have a lot of shady dealings with McMahon.

        The apprentice is definitely the crown jewel of the trump brand and is what solidified him with the strong man persona.
