Because to Trump, politics is like pro wrestling. Showing kindness to your opponent is like dropping kayfabe. There’s no good way to stay in character in that moment.
I love the pro wrestling analogy for the way Trump approaches everything. I have long thought that myself. I sometimes wonder if his involvement in the WWE and even his own comedic roast were just exercises for him to learn to never break character.
I regularly watch the clip of him getting hit with the Stone Cold Stunner. It probably didn’t hurt him but it still brings me joy.
