Is his campaign manager Vince McMahon?

Could be, they do know each other. Even worked together.

Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.

No idea why this isn't brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?

Because the kind of loser that liked WWE is the kind of person that is terminally online on the even nerdier version of Reddit.

Right, which makes Trump look like a giant fucking loser for working repeatedly with WWE since the 80s.

Which is why the Dems/Nikki Haley/Jeb should have brought it up repeatedly
