WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump seems to think wrestling is real

If Donald Trump weren’t so adamant about the lofty height of his IQ, you’d maybe start to think that sort of a little on the—how to put this?—not-so-bright side. Case in point: An anecdote about the seemingly inevitable future leader of the free world that recently resurfaced from an 2008 interview professional wrestler Triple H of The Opie And Anthony Show. In the midst of recounting an anecdote from about a year earlier in which his father-in-law and WWE CEO Vince McMahon faked his own death in a fiery limousine explosion (as one does), Mr. H opened a weird little window into the President-Elect’s brain.
Apparently, the day after footage of the fictional tragedy occurred, a concerned Donald Trump called the WWE offices to inquire on the safety of the husband of his future potential Secretary of Commerce. “Did something happen to Vince?” Triple H claimed he asked.
