U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate professional wrestling magnate and former Senate candidate Linda McMahon as his choice to head the Small Business Administration, transition officials told Reuters on Wednesday.

The announcement was expected later on Wednesday.

McMahon, 68, is a co-founder and former CEO of the professional wrestling franchise WWE, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut. She ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010. She was an early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign.

The SBA, which has at least one office in every U.S. state, provides support to small businesses such as extending loans and making sure they get a percentage of federal contracts.

a job for Vince. He could run a fake department for a fake administration.

[etherealtruth]

13. I'll invest, what the heck

This is insanity

[rzemanfl]

25. No, the Donald business plan uses borrowed money. You can be Vice-President

of something. I know, Vice-President in charge of leotards.

[uponit7771]

[LeftInTX]

18. Don King wasn't available?

[lunasun]

34. He has to come on board for sheer madness . King was a trump supporter at rallies etc.

Holding out for a FCC appointment opening?

[uponit7771]

39. Even Don King doesn't want to be around this admin, they already see its all fucked up

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. Just stop it! Maybe he should make Giuliani after all so that

our country can be the biggest cluster fuck anywhere.

[OldHippieChick]

20. He did better choosing winners on his

television show. At least he found out if they were successful at an assigned task. Now he's just choosing cronies and crazies.

Building the bomb shelter ...

[NewJeffCT]

21. another of the super rich

she spent $110 million of her own money to lose bigly twice in an attempt to win a senate seat.

[yardwork]

23. I hope all the small business owners who voted for Trump are happy.

[Fast Walker 52]

24. doesn't she have a super shady past?

certainly her husband does?

[Hoyt]

26. Jeeez, that is even worse than the used car salesman I figured he'd appoint. We need a country

full of business barkers.

[logosoco]

27. This is almost too much.

I think I am just going to have to rely on my sense of humor now.

It makes me think of Michael Moore's first line in Fahrenheit 9/11 "Was it all just a dream?"

I hope the Constitution can withstand this mess we are in now.

[not fooled]

28. A perfect fit

After all, she made her money fleecing rubes.

[C_U_L8R]

33. Didn't Trump claim he was a small business

when he applied for 911 Relief Funds???

Looks like the SBA may soon just be another payola
laundering outfit for the criminal Trump Organization.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Well that'll make the teabagging trailer trash happy

Nuttin like some good ol' family entertainment known as wrasslin.

[Dawson Leery]

37. Vile!

Such a low thing. The McMahon children once complained that they were basically shunned in school due to Daddy's business interests.
I can certainly see why they were shunned.

[Grassy Knoll]

40. Circus Tents With Double Fly Zippers In Every Home....

Rah, Rah, Sis Boom Bah

Fuckin Idiot.

[7962]

42. "co-founder'? Her husbands father started that wrestling company decades ago

Vince just took it over and pretty much put everyone else out of business.
Funny that they pick her. In the old days of wrestling there were territories which were pretty much small businesses. Vince made them history.

[resistance2016]

43. Please help me - I've somehow entered a terrifying alternate reality...

I have either died and gone to Hell or I've somehow entered an alternate reality where stupidity is a good thing. I don't know how to get back home. Am I stuck here permanently? My god, this is a nightmare.

[Arkansas Granny]

44. I know the feeling. When I first heard Neil Degrasse Tyson discuss string theory I was

rather skeptical. However, these days. . . .

[CTyankee]

45. What a nasty piece of work she is! Here in CT we thought we were rid of her...

and endured her campaign in misery. She is a shitstain on our state...

[Hayabusa]

46. A wrestling cartoon series had this to say:
