Excerpt (not sure howto paste full article)
"The Donald has been involved with the WWE since 1988, when he brought Wrestlemania IV to Atlantic City, but it’s two more recent appearances where you see how Trump The WWE Hall Of Famer used the same strategies to become Trump The Presidential Contender.
In 2007, Trump became involved in a feud with Vince McMahon coined “The Battle of the Billionaires.” It began when Trump appeared on “Monday Night RAW” and literally made it rain money on the crowd, a tactic not allowed by federal election laws in the United States. The two men each chose a surrogate to face off at Wrestlemania 23, with the winning businessman earning the right to shave the head of the losing businessman. On a March 2007 Raw, Trump showed up for the contract signing, leaning on lines that would nine years later become the staples of his stump speeches."

The crowd booed. "
It's a short read, but this whole election thing is a joke this year. The fukk is going on?
