Putting the SMACKDOWN on sanity

President-elect Donald Trump picked Linda McMahon, former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, to serve as the administrator of the Small Business Administration, his transition announced Wednesday.

“Linda has a tremendous background and is widely recognized as one of the country’s top female executives advising businesses around the globe,” Trump said in a statement. “She helped grow WWE from a modest 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees in offices worldwide.”
He continued, “Linda is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America’s entrepreneurial spirit all across the country.”
McMahon is the co-founder of the professional wrestling franchise WWE along with her husband Vince McMahon, and twice a former Republican Senate candidate from Connecticut. She’s donated $6 million in August and September to Rebuilding America Now, a super PAC that supported Trump’s presidential bid.
