The whole world is probably aware of how unique the current presidential race in the U.S.A. is. And it is unique because of one man – Donald Trump. By no means is this a credit to him. People all over the world, except his supporters, are horrified at the thought of a bigoted, narcissistic, ill-informed businessman running the free world.

In spite of his clear incompetence, there are many who are in favour of his ‘politics’ and the solutions he apparently has for the problems of his country and the world. The WWE is no stranger to Donald Trump.

He is the CEO, Vince McMahon’s friend and who can forget the Hair vs. Hair match in WrestleMania 23. Therefore, it is no surprise there are a number of WWE superstars who have endorsed Trump and are his faithful supporters. Here’s a look at 5 WWE superstars who have caught the Trump bug:

5. Ted DiBiase “The Million Dollar Man”

Back in the day

Fans of the WWE will remember Ted DiBiase as the “Million Dollar Man” from the WWF where he had a long career as both a professional wrestler and a manager. It is not surprising that he would be a Donald Trump supporter since his entrance music during his time at the WWF is not far removed from what the Republican presidential candidate stands for.

In fact, Ted DiBbiase’s entrance music is strangely similar to the theme song for Trump’s reality show ‘The Apprentice’. DiBiase announced his support for Trump on Reddit when he posted:

“The character would probably vote for Donald Trump because he’s a billionaire and the real Ted DiBiase would also vote Trump because he’s not swayed by money. You don’t become a billionaire by being an idiot.”

Maybe if Trump supporters were more in touch with reality and knew that he actually wasn’t a billionaire or even a millionaire, people like Ted DiBiase wouldn’t come out and endorse him

4. Kevin Nash

Kevin Nash is a veteran of professional wrestling with time spent at all the major brands during the hay day of his career. He was associated with power factions within the then WWF like The Kliq with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, etc. and founded the New World Order along with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall.

Kevin “Diesel” Nash announced his support for Trump through a post on Twitter. Apparently he spent an entire day wearing a cut off Donald Trump t-shirt that says ‘Make America Great Again’. His objective was to see how people would react to it and his conclusion? Nash tweeted:

“Sported this shirt all day to see the responses I’d get. Hilary you’re in trouble girl.”

While Nash may be proud of his candidate, the least Trump’s supporters can do is get the spelling of his opponent’s name right. Hillary Clinton is spelt H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.

3. Jerry “The King” Lawler

Jerry “The King” Lawler’s association with WWE has been a very long one. He has seen the company through many changes and currently, he is a part of yet another brand-split as an announcer. He hasn’t quite been able to integrate with the new commentators ever since Jim Ross’s retirement but he never misses a chance to chime in with his two cents worth.

Never one to shy away from political discourse, fans of the WWE must be pretty used to Lawler’s comments on politics during the show. When the primary season had just started, Jerry the King came out in support of Donald Trump as early as February. He sent out a tweet in support of the Republican candidate which caused quite a backlash for him as he received death threats for his post.

2. Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan has publicly endorsed Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the presidential race. When the stir around Trump as a presumptive candidate had just started in mid-2015, Hogan jumped on the Trump bandwagon as early as August 2015 and announced his support.

In an interview with TMZ, while Hogan was seemingly unaffected by the scandal he was involved in and his removal from the WWE universe, he said that he would love to be Trump’s vice-presidential candidate. Well, who better to accompany Trump in a bid to run the country than a fellow racist and loon like Hulk Hogan.

1. Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon and Donald Trump share a lot of history with each other. And it isn’t just that one match from Wrestlemania 23 – the Battle of the Billionaires Hair vs. Hair match. Vince Mcmahon and Donald Trump are good friends and business associates.

Over the last 10 years, Donald Trump on behalf of the Donald J. Trump Foundation has received approximately $5 million from Vince Mcmahon and his wife Linda McMahon. The McMahon’s are no strangers to politics – Linda ran for Republican Senator from Connecticut back in 2010. It was even rumoured that Donald Trump was considering Vince Mcmahon as his VP.

According to Donald Trump, a man who discovered the likes of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin has the ability to be the country’s second in command.
