Trump Reportedly Wants WWE Co-Founder to Replace Wilbur Ross

CNBC is reporting that “three people familiar with that matter” who are also “close to the president” say that Trump wants to replace Ross by the end of calendar year 2018.

WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) co-founder and Small Business Administration head Linda McMahon is reportedly the frontrunner.
Head of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation Ray Washburne has also been named as a potential replacement.

The White House has not commented, but there was a response from a “senior administration official close to Ross.”

The person said “There is no indication that Secretary Ross will be gone any time soon,” and pointed to Ross’s “significant wins for the president’s trade agenda.”

Cactus Jack would be a terrific Secretary of whatever, wouldn't he? How about Hacksaw Jim Duggan?

Flair is a nutty right-winger who'd fit right in with Trump crew. And we all know Hacksaw loves the USA USA USA not the USSR.

For their decades of dealings with The Crimson Clown and recent deal with Saudi's (would like to see House Oversight investigate how that got approved?), to the point that two of their top stars John Cena and Daniel Bryan refused to go to the recent event in Saudi Arabia due to the horrible atrocities being committed by the Saudi's.
