Trump has asked wrestler Vince McMahon to help him reopen the economy – 5 lethal body slams

Wrestling mogul Vince McMahon has had quite the week –

He declared XFL – his professional football league – bankrupt and laid off his workers.

His company, World Wrestling Entertainment, has been declared an essential business and is allowed to continue during the US lockdown – although they’ll have a job maintaining social distancing.

He and his wife pledged $18 million to fund GOP advertising.

And this happened:

We truly are through the looking glass when a man whose Las Vegas casino was a flop and a man whose American Football business has gone bankrupt – in America – are planning to save the economy.

The news wasn’t well received.

I look forward to seeing Rush Limbaugh heading up FEMA and Hong Kong Phooey taking the reigns at NASA.

Vince McMahon advising Donald Trump on restarting America's economy after a global pandemic is a scenario so stupid that I'm choosing to now believe I'm in a coma and my subconscious has been hijacked by a frankenstein created in a lab by Tom Green and Pauly Shore https://t.co/uJy0Uqpr3j

If nothing else, the press briefings should be lively.
