USA President Donald Trump has made a massive move on the stock market as WWE Clash in Italy draws close, according to reports.
Trump has been closely involved with WWE in the past, even having made some on-screen appearances. He has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame in the celebrity wing in 2013. His contributions to the Stamford-based promotion were numerous, including his participation in the “Battle of the Billionaires” at WrestleMania 23.
According to a report from HuffPost, Trump has apparently purchased between $15,001 and $50,000 of stock of TKO Group Holdings. It should be noted that TKO is the parent company of both the Stamford-based company and UFC. The purchase reportedly happened earlier this month on the 25th.
Donald Trump’s association with WWE has been criticized by some notable veterans
Mick Foley made headlines a while back after he openly criticized Donald Trump, and chose to end his ties with the Stamford-based promotion.
Foley announced that he would be leaving the promotion and not renewing his legends contract with the company. Taking to Instagram, he wrote:
“PARTING WAYS WITH WWE. While I have been concerned about WWE’s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who ‘looks like an immigrant’) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me,” he wrote.
Furthermore, Jesse Ventura has also been very vocal about his disdain for Trump. In an interview on the SpinSisters podcast, Ventura noted that the USA President seemed intent on fracturing the country.
“Make this part of Canada, because it’s obvious Donald Trump doesn’t want us. It’s obvious that he’s ready to fracture the whole country for his own folly, whatever he’s doing. I think we should petition to get out of the United States. If they don’t want us, I’m sure Canada would be happy to take us,” he added.
The authorities of the pro wrestling company have yet to make any moves regarding these criticisms and their association with Donald Trump.
