Vince McMahon 'Fesses Up To Donation To Trump



It wasn't Donald's $5 million bucks he was offering,.....it was Vince and Linda McMahon Family Foundation who gave the $5 million to Trump.




Yesterday, Linda McMahon and the WWE, the Linda and Vince McMahon entertainment conglomerate, were arguing over where a $5 million donation to Donald Trump's foundation came from, that $5 million being at issue because of The Donald's bizarre birther $5 million pledge.

Looks like they found the culprit for the big donation.



Vince McMahon stepped forward Thursday as the top donor to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, with a spokesman for the wrestling impresario’s company telling Hearst Newspapers that the WWE chief executive gave $5 million to the charity. [...]

WWE previously said that the Vincent and Linda McMahon Family Foundation gave the $5 million to Trump, who has long questioned Obama’s citizenship and eligibility to run for president.

See, it's not from WWE, or the family foundation, where Linda McMahon makes the decisions. No, the story now is that Vince came up with this one all on his own. Sounds like he's going to have to look out for more groin kicks coming his way.

See, this is particularly problematic for the missus right now, because her election in blue Connecticut is hinging on her ability to tie herself to Obama. Being tied instead to the birther-in-chief is going to make that kind of difficult.


Let's just end McMahon's political ambitions here and now.




Please send Chris Murphy $3 on ActBlue.

One person says they will vote for someone that will work with Obama well..like having an extra Repub in the Senate is soooo going to be great for Obama. It is laughable. As a CT resident and someone who used to watch some WWE back around 2000, Vince has always been a jerk. I doubt he plays a character half the time. It's the real him.

This from a man who spent his life convincing low IQ viewers that wrestling was real, McMahon, Trump deserve each other, they both run their lives on lies and deception..
