Given that Trump has announced his candidacy for U.S. President, and more importantly, that he is running as a republican, will WWE publicly support/endorse/donate to him? He has had two WrestleManias at his own venue in Vegas. He participated at WrestleMania 23 against Vince McMahon (hair vs. hair). He has done huge money drops on Monday Night Raw crowds. He even kayfabe "bought" WWE for a period of time. It's not trivial that Linda ran as a republican twice for Connecticut senate. Would Trump want the support of WWE, with its questionable-at-best public image? I can picture another Raw appearance in the near future, if anything, to try to gather WWE voters. What do you think?

I hope not. Keep that stuff off of the wrestling shows. But they probably will, so...  If they do I'll just tune it out and not pay attention. |

I'm sure not even Donald Trump himself could ever take a Donald Trump presidential bid seriously, so surely neither would WWE.
If they did anything with him, it would only be for publicity, just like Trump's campaign itself.

I think it could happen if, he promises Vince that the network would be mandatory for all americans or pay a fine. A WrestleMania at the White house or around the Washington Monument area.

Did you see how Linda failed twice for Senate because of her (past) ties to the WWE? (among other things, but she was attacked for this)
Trump will want nothing to do with the WWE/wrestling if he wants to become the most powerful man in the US and one of the leaders of the world.
I'm sure Vince would love to back him though. Look at all the publicity he'll get.

No. They're not going to get involved in promoting politics on their shows. Far too alienating.

Have they ever endorsed a Presidential candidate before? I ask seriously because I have no clue. If I were to answer "Off the cuff" I would probably say its unlikely and unwise to involve their product in the race.

I don't like when wrestling and politics mix.....so I'm hoping that none of this spills over onto WWE TV.

I had no recollection of this. What a stupid move. I believe Obama also did one, but I can't find that anywhere. They didn't do it in '12, probably because of the negative reaction this got. |

Now that I think about it, you may be right. I don't have any issue with them doing this type of thing as long they aren't directly taking sides. |

They would never risk alienating half their fanbase by endorsing one party's candidate.

I'm sure they will at some point. At the very least, we'll get those one liners from the announce team about how great he'd be as president/how bad his opponents would be at being president
