Play of the Day: Donald Trump's Wrestling Presidency
Linda McMahon will help make America great again by slamming opponents with steel chairs.
President-elect Donald Trump continues to fill out his cabinet, selecting Andrew Pudzer of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's as Labor Secretary this week. Conan O'Brien joked that selection was one that was, of course, made on an empty stomach. Late Show's Stephen Colbert noted that Trump picked Oklahoma state official Scott Pruitt to run the Environmental Protection Agency, despite the fact that Pruitt has been a career opponent of the EPA. It will make more sense when Trump appoints Joe Camel to be the next surgeon general.
Trump selected Linda McMahon of World Wresting Entertainment to run the Small Business Administration. Colbert joked that the WWE abbreviation could just as well stand for "Wee Wittle Enterprise" while Desus & Mero joked that her appearances in Wrestlemania show that she's "leaning in." Desus & Mero also joked that Trump will have a wrestling presidency, giving excuse to show the famous clip of the president-elect actually wrestling in Wrestlemania XXIII, while Colbert joked that McMahon could just bring out the steel chairs against any opponents in Congress.
