Forums - Politics Discussion - Donald Trump has hired Linda Mcmahon for small business cabinet position

Is Trump going to make her bark like a dog like Vince did to Trish?

His pick that really pissed me off is his choice for the EPA, Scott Pruitt. Some fucking anti-global warming conspiracy nut that'll hurt our planet more than he'll ever know e~e I don't like saying it, but I fucking wish Trump gets assassinated just for that choice e.e at least have someone who has a mental capacity above a 7yr old for such an important position

People said, "don't judge him just yet. For all we know he could be great". So much for that. We're talking about a racist man-child who was always surrounded by money and never heard a "no" from pretty much anyone. But I hope the lolz were worth it for people who voted for him as a joke.

She donated several million to his campaign, so it's not really surprising. Pay to play. 

Completely unfounded.

We aren't talking about people who have no experience being given a post in an area they are completely unfamilar with like in the Obama administration, and donars to the Clinton Foundation.

 

What the fuck are you talking about? Obama recycled hacks that served under Bill Clinton and Bush Jr (Timothy Geithner, Robert Gates, Lawrance Summers, Rahm Emanuel, Robert Rubin, Rahm Emanuel, Susan Rice, Eric Holder, etc).  Almost all his other appointees were public servants for many years and were appointed to jobs that related to their service.  They weren't inexperienced but that doesn't make their picks great either. Try not to speak out of your ass so much and actually learn something.

What does a wrestlers wife know about politics?

I thinks she ran for Senate or Governor in Connecticut before. She's not exactly green to politics.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Yea, WWE can suck my balls! Sorry I had to say it... Last time I was banned I ventured in the wrestling thread and started talking shit saying UFC was way better than soapbox drama WWE. I'm surprised adults still watch WWE and my respect for d21 is slightly lowered because he enjoys it. I think there might be a correlation between Trump supporters and WWE fans.

Twice. She also was on the State Board of Education. 

She's also served on the board of directors for multiple businesses and non-profits.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Yeah, that's cronyism in action and I have no idea why anyone would pretend otherwise. She got the position because she is a personal friend and campaign supporter. This is a political appointment.

Let's also not act like she started the WWF from the ground up. Her husband took over a business that controlled the richest and most lucrative market in the country. Yes, they certainly took it nationally and then globally from there, which is pretty damned impressive, but the WWWF was NOT a small business by any means.

What scares me is the history of the company. It's a corporate monster that is famous for steamrolling and buying up other small companies and killing any and all competition. Through the years, it has been a shining example of how to create an market where startups have no chance. As a former small business owner, that makes me wonder if she is going to help the growth of small businesses or if she is going to tilt the playing field even further in the direction of large corporations.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the Trump administration's definition of small business is "at least 100 employees" and anything below that is meaningless. Not that such an attitude is uncommon with the existing millionaires in Washington already, though.

I'm not saying she won't or can't do a great job. We shall see. However, this is clearly a "you wash my back, I'll wash yours" situation and politics as usual.
