El Trumpo picked Linda McMahon to lead the Small Business Administration today, and the World Wrestling Entertainment mogul is pretty happy about it:

Trump cites her experience as a business-owner as the reason he picked her to jump in the ring and tag-team with small businesses, but he definitely neglected to mention this:

Vince and Linda McMahon, owners of World Wrestling Entertainment, gave a total of $5 million during a period when the man who may be the next U.S. president was making appearances on WWE broadcast specials, according to Internal Revenue Service filings. WWE did pay Trump separate fees for his role on its programs.

Yes, they are the largest donors to the Trump Foundation, and that's not all:

According to a brand new report by The Washington Post, former WWE CEO and two-time failed Republican Senatorial candidate Linda McMahon recently donated $6 million to a super PAC supporting Donald Trump's campaign for President of the United States.

Linda's contributions in August and September alone reportedly make up nearly one third of the money raised by Rebuilding America Now, The Donald's super PAC, making her one of the leading external donors for the Republican party during this election.

Does this represent a conflict of interests? It definitely seems to go against his promise to drain the swamp of powerful wealthy donors buying positions of power. But on the other hand, that kinda stuff is only bad when Hillary does it.

Also, who can resist these hilarious wrestling memes?!

Remember when Kamala; The Ugandan Giant, ate the commemorative WWE-trophy that Vince handed to him after winning the Championship Belt? 

(it was actually wax, with a cake-sugar gold glaze)

The important point to take away is he's putting people in charge in areas they are experts in, e.g. Sessions as AG, Mattis as Sec of D, the Iowa Gov as China Ambassador, Dr. Tom Price for HHS...  These aren't academics and community organizers.

Someone like McMahon has the expertise and knowledge to be an ambassador to small business, but I pray she approaches it from a conservative, free market perspective.  She should be an ambassador for small business.  I've seen some mocking of her on the internet because of her industry, but that business, like the UFC, is a constant uphill climb against unions, politicians, etc.  They make it look easy, but those business are so damn difficult if you listen to any of their stories about getting those businesses (WWE, UFC, etc) off the ground and successful.  Not one of those people mocking her would last 20 minutes in her business.

Again, this pick exposes the complete disconnect between the producers and doers of our society, and the do-nothing Marxist academics and media.

It's better than picking a donor that doesn't have experience.
