Linda McMahon?  well she has appeared on-screen from time to time.  Maybe?



Really bad delivery on Linda's part, though. Compare to Shane:



But Shane was always a bit crazy in the ring (e.g. in one match he was supposed to go through a pane of glass - that failed twice, but he insisted on trying again till it broke).

This is amazing. :D

The way he's saying: "I don't have to tell you what I'm going to do with North Korea" is creepy.

He's shaming a jewish reporter that asked a question about anti-semitism in USA.

The reporter specifically said he hadn't seen anti-semitism from Trump but was concerned about it generally. Trump then told him to be quiet and sit down and that he was the least anti-semitic person he had ever seen.

Just wow.

You missed Trump himself.  :ph34r:

I did, but I knew he must have received one.  Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame after all!

And here we go...

Thankfully another journalist followed up, Trump's response: "Some of the signs you see are written by the other side, next question."

Quote[...]

In his first explanation of his decision to force out Michael T. Flynn, his national security adviser, on Monday, Mr. Trump said he was not troubled that Mr. Flynn had spoken with Russia's ambassador in December, when the subject of sanctions against Russia was discussed.

"When I looked at the information, I said I don't think he did anything wrong," Mr. Trump said. "In fact, I think he did something right
."

The problem, he said, was that Mr. Flynn told Vice President Mike Pence that sanctions did not come up during the conversation, an assertion belied by a transcript of the call, which was monitored by American intelligence agencies.

"The thing is he didn't tell our vice president properly and then he said he didn't remember," Mr. Trump said. "So either way, it wasn't very satisfactory to me."

But reports about contacts between his circle and Russia were "fake news put out by the media," he said. He said he had called on the Justice Department to investigate leaks regarding Mr. Flynn and other matters.

With so many crises in the first four weeks of his presidency, Mr. Trump disputed impressions that his administration was out of control.

"To be honest, I inherited a mess, a mess, at home and abroad, a mess," he said. "Jobs are pouring out of the country. See what's going on with all of the companies leaving the country, going to Mexico and other places." Overseas, he said he found "disaster."

"We're going to take care of it all," he said. "I just want you to know I inherited a mess."

He said he would sign a new executive order next week or perhaps later that will "comprehensively protect our country" while still defending his original travel ban in court. Last week he had said he would take action as early as Monday of this week.

"There has never been a presidency that has done so much in such a short period of time," Mr. Trump said. "And we haven't even started the big work that starts early next week." He added, "We're just getting started."

His expansive review of his accomplishments, though, included some misinformation.

He asserted that his victory in the Electoral College was the largest since Ronald Reagan. But he won fewer Electoral College votes than three of the four presidents since Reagan: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George Bush.

When a reporter pointed that out, Mr. Trump brushed it off. "I was given that information," he said.

[...]

The Guardian quotes him saying that his administration runs "like fine-tuned machine".
