    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.
