Vince McMahon Is Advising Trump on How to Restart US Economy WWE's Vince McMahon was named as one of a few sports magnates to aid President Donald Trump in restarting the U.S. economy. Talk show and radio host Andy Slater broke the news through his official Twitter. This followed a press conference earlier this week in which Trump stated he was putting together a group of sports commissioners and other executives to form an economic task force. Slater wrote on Twitter, "JUST NOW: Adam Silver, Rob Manfred, Roger Goodell, Gary Bettman, Robert Kraft, Jerry Jones, Dana White, and Vince McMahon are part of a large group that will help advise on how to restart the economy, President Trump says." He followed up with, "MORE: Mavs owner Mark Cuban will also be part of this group." He even quoted the President saying, “We need to get our sports back." This comes after weeks of Trump talking about wanting to restart the economy sooner rather than later. The inclusion of people such as White, Cuban and McMahon did not come as a surprise given their prowess as businessmen and owners in their respective fields. The men also happen to be personal friends of the President. McMahon made a name for himself by turning his father's wrestling promotion company WWF into the global phenomenon that it is today. Recently, he made headlines by furloughing WWE staff, releasing some of its superstars and cutting executives pay as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Source
