Trump Statement on picking Linda Mcmahon

To empower the next generation of American students and workers, and to make America Number One in Education in the World, Trump stated that Linda Mcmahon would leverage her decades of leadership experience and profound understanding of both education and business. He further added that “We will send Education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.”

Linda Mcmahon: Controversies & Nomination

Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), was named as the planned nominee for education secretary by President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, has surprised many, as she was named for sexual abuse and controversy during her terms as WWE CEO. Further, is has also been told that being controversial has become Trump’s a prerequisite. for being nominated in Trump Administration.

WWE Association Paying off Linda Mcmahon

Together with her husband, Vince McMahon, McMahon helped build WWE into the ubiquitous entertainment brand that is now deeply ingrained in contemporary North American society. In 2007, Trump participated in the “Battle of the Billionaires” as a buddy of the McMahons. 

Quiting WWE & Joining Politics – A Brief Cover

• After leaving WWE in 2009, Linda McMahon entered conservative politics, where she served on the Connecticut State Board of Education and campaigned for the Senate twice, losing both times.
• Trump appointed her to the position of administrator at the Small Business Administration during his first term in office after she became a Republican Megadonor. She took office in 2017 but stepped down in 2019 to lead the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action.
• Along with former Trump advisor Larry Kudlow and former Trump adviser McMahon, she established the pro-Trump think group America First Policy Institute in 2021, and she now serves as its board chair.

Why Linda Mcmahon could be a troublesome pick

Since its inception, the WWE has been notorious for its dubious and often harsh work environment. Five unnamed plaintiffs, who were essentially adolescent stagehands, are suing Linda McMahon and Vince McMahon, from whom she is allegedly now divorced. The ring boys have accused WWE stars Terry Garvin and Pat Patterson of sexually abusing them. According to the lawsuit, Linda and Vince were aware of the ring boys’ mistreatment yet did nothing to stop the same.

New and more serious accusations of sexual assault, trafficking, and other crimes have been levelled against Vince. Even though they are unrelated to Linda Mcmahon, the majority of the charges stem from Linda’s time as WWE president and she has not yet addressed the claims.

Keeping in view the above, picking Linda Mcmahon as Education Secretary seems to be troublesome for Trump Administration.
