U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate professional wrestling magnate and former Senate candidate Linda McMahon as his choice to head the Small Business Administration, transition officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
The announcement was expected later on Wednesday.
McMahon, 68, is a co-founder and former CEO of the professional wrestling franchise WWE, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut. She ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010. She was an early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign.
The SBA, which has at least one office in every U.S. state, provides support to small businesses such as extending loans and making sure they get a percentage of federal contracts.
Trump's announcement, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, said McMahon would be a key player in his effort to generate stronger job growth and roll back federal regulations. He said she had helped the WWE grow from a 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees worldwide. Donald Trump is a WWE Hall of Fame member.

If younger, we certainly do NOT need you and your age in this administration; that's for sure.
We still have our LINDA t-shirts! :-)
SPOT ON ! :-)
How many people pushing 70 does he need in his cabinet????
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I suspect age is not much of a factor in the vetting process, at least I hope it’s not.
Trump should name the Iron Sheik as special envoy to Iran.

He could do a lot worse than the Sheik, that’s for sure.
There shouldn’t even be a US small business administration.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I would think that depends on whether or not it provides useful services that actually help small businesses to grow and prosper. And under the direction of President Trump I suspect it will do just that.
Wow, amazing after how well Trump got along with her hubby: Image result for trump hitting vince gif

I wonder how many times they practiced that stunt.
OH MY GOD. I love this....

Thankfully, the US Cons does not empower the US G to seize your cash to provide “useful services” to help small businesses.
The US Cons empowers the US G to seize your cash to secure the borders, pay an Army and a Navy, establish a US court system, and not much else.
The very existence of the government agency at which I have toiled for the last 6 years is blatantly unconstitutional.
Well, based on that I am now 59.285 years young!
He is choosing those who have not been subjected to the Department of Re-education (that means lots of seniors).
Hey Linda. When You leave for DC, take Malloy with you.
He knows all about keeping business in a state.
Two SBA applicants apply for a loan..one fight 'Dean Ambrose', the other fight 'John Cena'. The winners get a loan... :-)
Talk about a coincidence, or something that was in the “cards”. Last night I found an old pack of TriStar wrestling cards and guess who was in it? Linda McMahon. I’ve got to get it autographed. I also have pictures of her husband Vince, the announcer.
Oh man, what a slam!

I’ll take your word for that, but it would be helpful if you could explain why, specifically why, it is blatantly unconstitutional. I ask this because, unless I have it wrong, small business provides most of the employment in the private sector, and therefore any government program that facilitates the expansion small business would seem to be beneficial to the American economy. But just to be clear, I am definitely opposed to all oppressive regulatory agencies as a matter of principle, and would like to see those which are not abolished prohibited from promulgating any policy decisions not approved by Congress and the President.
