Reality show star, low-grade steak peddler and new US president, Donald Trump, has made a surprise move in filling out his first cabinet.
Former WWE Chairperson and twice failed Republican senate candidate Linda McMahon has been appointed to the post of Secretary of Small Business Administration.
Whilst some have questioned the decision to put the wife of one of entertainments most shady characters in a
“Nobody, and I mean nobody is more suited to the role of overseeing small business than Linda. She has years of experience in the field. As WWE chairman, she took their flagship show ‘Raw’ from a ratings monster, getting shares of 7 and 8 every Monday night, to being watched by less than half of those people – hell, maybe even a quarter. Not only that, this company used to run three live shows a night, that a night people, and now they have cut that back to three a week. You can’t tell me that doesn’t display incredible expertise in creating a small company. It’s just maths, plain and simple”
The appointment has been met with accusations of cronyism, siting the long personal relationship between Trump and the McMahons going back to Trump Plaza hosting the 4 hour borefest Wrestlemania 4 in 1988 and the Presidents appearance in a hair vs hair match at Wrestlemania 23.
In retaliation, Trump tweeted “Nthng 2 do with being frnds, McMahons donated $6m to my campaign. That’s why she got the job”
