All bias and leanings cast to one side for a second - this is still an odd photograph capturing a very odd moment in political history.

Whenever he'd utilise the obnoxious billionaire on television, Vince McMahon always presented Donald Trump as a babyface, perhaps in his mind because 'The Donald' was the perfectly nice face of wealth in natural opposition to the malevolent 'Mr McMahon' character.

As anyone without billions in the bank can attest to though, there's really no such thing. Real life buddies due to obvious similarities, Vince and Trump had strong relations for years, and the family's significant financial investment in the 2016 presidential campaign came as a surprise to few. Slightly more shocking was the appointment of Linda McMahon as Small Business Administrator on Trump's first cabinet.

Dispiriting for Democrats and the global left at large, the reality was further cemented by a photograph that did the rounds showing Vince, Linda, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Marissa Mazzola, and their respective offsprings posing with the President.
