hanger to cheer on a historically unpopular president with historic lows. Trump is a sitting president now, and he doesn't have anything near Obama's level of popularity when Obama did some post-election events or even Bush II who did some events to promote tax cuts. This isn't even about promoting anything -- just "thousands" gathered to watch this idiot who is already president talk AGAIN about the same shit?!

Yes I've seen that. I am certain that McMahon advised him on his whole campaign theme. Trump did a "heel" act.

His rallies were wrestling shows:
Big show comes to town
Everyone gets to rant and rave (probably hammered)
Trump plays both hero and heel
Involves his family - differently than McMahon does
Sprinkle in some violence - some was pretty clearly staged

His intro at the convention was a complete ripoff of the Undertaker
