10 Reasons Why Vince McMahon Will NEVER Shake Off The WWE ‘Stigma’

As Administrator for United States Small Business Administration under President Donald Trump, Linda McMahon currently holds a position that may have benefitted her husband had it not been for the glaringly obvious conflict of interest. Presumably Vince wouldn't like anything he associated with to be considered 'small' at all, but as a new business in an overcrowded marketplace, 'Alpha Entertainment' perhaps could have done with the assistance from governmental forces.

Instead, Linda now serves as yet another inexorable tie to a leadership regime fiercely dividing a nation and the wider world. A foot solider for Donald Trump, McMahon's position already stank of cronyism considering her past political failures following her decision to step down as WWE CEO in 2009.

The President hasn't been shy of alienating associates thus far, but how she serves in the role and for how long is almost irrelevant. Many will not forgive nor forget the McMahon/Trump legacy, and will take a sideways look at anything even tenuously linked to an administration they despise.
