Of all the things Trump did before he ran for office, I think the one he enjoyed most was ...

... professional wrestling impresario.

I wasn't what made him the most money, nor what got him the most notoriety (and he sure loves notoriety),
but he was really really good at it.

So what could be more obvious than ...

U.F.C. Fight Venue Takes Shape on the White House Lawn
The New York Times

OK, it's not the good old WWF, more like a real sport, but it's good enough for Trump.

It isn't Olympics wrestling. It isn't even high school wrestling.

50 years ago in Virginia, my friends and I would watch "professional wrestling" after SNL. Costumes and made-up names like Count Von Ratsky. We'd turn down the sound and make our own noises when someone got slammed to the mat. And we'd be convulsed with laughter. (OK, the beer helped . . . . ) It was fake and comical simultaneously.

Trump loves fake. "Professional wrestling" is the epitome of fake.

My guess is that Trump finds PW entertaining for the reasons I cited above. But the other "fun" is laughing at the idiots who believe it's for real.
