During a recent appearance on the “FLAGRANT” podcast, former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen continued to take shots at disgraced former WWE and TKO chairman Vince McMahon, including his belief that McMahon was the one who was actually running convicted felon Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his belief that Vince McMahon ran Trump’s presidential campaign: “You will not convince me that Vince McMahon did not run that [Trump] campaign in 2016. I believe Vince ran that. Vince was the greatest influencer. Vince’s number one thing is, ‘Yes, it is business and entertainment but it’s psychology.’”
On Trump running his campaign like a McMahon WWE event: “He had catchphrases, he had ‘lock him up,’ he started giving them nicknames, he started having the same songs, it was like walk-out music, and he was having chants from the crowd. It was … his campaign was exactly the way Vince McMahon promotes a WrestleMania.”
McMahon’s estranged wife, Linda McMahon, was a member of Donald Trump’s presidential cabinet.
Trump, a WWE Hall of Famer and former United States President, was recently found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
