Donald Trump's participation in TV wrestling is sleazy for the same reason that being a prostitute is sleazy: the prostitute and the wrestler are demeaned. Trump profits from wrestlers humiliating themselves in public. The difference between Donald Trump and the owner of gladiators in ancient Rome is only a question of the degree of violence and the degree of exploitation of the participants. Trump's gladiators prostitute their dignity and their basic self-respect in public for Trump's money. The whole process is not "innocent" but panders to the basic instincts of the mob. If he could have, Trump no doubt would've conducted his wrestling matches in the Roman Colosseum.

The distinctions between a pimp, a wrestling promoter, a slaver, a gladiator impresario and Donald Trump are differences only in degree but not in quality.

To elect Donald Trump president United States is about is sleazy as electing Hugh Hefner President of the United States and that is true not just because of Donald Trump's sleazy attachments to beauty contests, wrestling, price fighting, and gambling but because of his collection of trophy wives and his divorces and his ceaseless demeaning of women in his remarks.

Worse, Trump has proved by his own actions that he has no sense of propriety, no discernment of the demands of human dignity. Are we really going to have as the moral leader of the United States the man who shaved Vince McMahon's head? Why not Hugh Hefner? For that matter, why not Bill Clinton?

Donald Trump is a sleazoid.

Trump's unfitness for office on the moral level as I pointed out in my earlier post is not limited to his sleazy attachments but is the dominating thread of his entire life story as is apparent in his marriages, his philanderings, his arrogance, his appalling business judgment which led to bankruptcies and business failures, his cruelties, his lies, his frauds, his lawsuits and his boorishness.

“TV wrestling is sleazy for the same reason that being a prostitute is sleazy: the prostitute and the wrestler are demeaned. Trump profits from wrestlers humiliating themselves in public. “

You really haven’t got a clue to come up with that gem.

TV wrestling is an act and the wrestlers are no more ‘humiliated’ than any other actors. Well paid actors, as it happens.

One of the actors in the WWE’s extravaganzas was none other than Donald Trump, who pretended to buy the whole enterprise from his good friend Vince McMahon. It was just an elaborate story line and Trump did it as a favor to his friend.

That ‘purchase’ was as genuine as everything else in TV wrestling, but apparently it was convincing enough to fool you.

A couple of minutes with google and you could have learned the facts, but I suspect that since your real interest is using any club that you can find to beat Trump with, that accuracy and facts are of secondary interest to you.

What, professional wrestling isn't real, you mean it's a sham? Who knew?

Does that mean that Donald Trump's participation in it was a sham as well, an act put on for the public? You mean the Donald Trump participated in a hoax?

Gollywompers, maybe Donald Trump's whole campaign is a hoax, maybe when he spent $1 million exploring how he should campaign that gave him the information to perpetuate such a hoax? Perhaps it gave him the information to play us and the rest of the public.

I have described Donald Trump as a walking Potemkin village, a man who is all façade with nothing but sleaze and corruption hidden behind. His biography justifies every allegation of sleaze I have levied against him.
