4. Donald Trump's Jet Jibe

Let it be known that Donald Trump and Vince McMahon have one of the most aggressively-weird friendships of all the times. Former WWE writer Court Bauer appeared on Chris Jericho's podcast to talk about the dynamic between President and WWE patriarch, and it's every bit as strange as you'd imagine.

For example, Donald's limo pulled up beside Vince's one day on the road, and Trump motioned for McMahon to put his window down so he could say something. When Vince did, Donald casually said (in front of several WWE writers and staff inside the car) that they could share his private jet if they wanted because it was "much bigger, obviously" than McMahon's.

Vince turned beetroot purple.

When Trump pulled away, McMahon ranted to anyone who would listen, calling his so-called pal a "son of a b*tch" and generally calling out Donald for his cheek. That must've been a happy limo ride for the WWE interns sitting quietly up the back.
