How much of Trump's campaigning is based on Pro Wrestling writing? It seems to me he loves to play the Heel, and relishes people despising him, while others love him no matter how far he sinks.

Reminds me of when (many years ago) WWE was trying to make Eddie Guerrero turn heel by turning on his brother, Chavo. Problem was he was so popular, that despite the obvious signalling that he was supposed to be the bad guy, the audience cheered for him. WWE tried for a few weeks to get the audience to hate Eddie, but the overwhelming voice of the crowd drowned out any booing.

I feel this scenario parallels the Trump campaign strategy in some ways. And since Trump and Vince Mcmahon have done business in the past, and Trump has hosted fights (boxing/mma) at his casinos, he might have some insight into manipulating a live audience...

What do you think?

Thanks for the response! I've been feeling this way since the 2016 campaign. Feels good to have someone who knows about the industry validate my suspicions! Keep up the good work!
