While this will hardly come as a surprise to anyone who has followed Donald Trump's tweets, an eight-year-old interview with a WWE Superstar indicates that the president-elect has a bit of an issue with reality.
SEE ALSO:This video is all you need to know about Trump appointee Linda McMahonIn a radio interview from 2008 that's been making the rounds and posted by Deadspin, WWE wrestler HHH (also known as Paul Levesque, WWE’s Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative and son-in-law to WWE CEO Vince McMahon) spoke about a 2007 WWE storyline that involved Vince getting blown up in a car.
According to HHH, speaking on Opie & Anthony, Trump was one of many people fooled by the pre-taped sequence. "Trump called," HHH says, "and was like, 'did something happen to Vince?'"
Here's that clip, via Deadspin.
Of course, what's so mystifying here is that Trump is hardly a stranger to the WWE, having made multiple appearances and being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. Which may indicate that the president-elect has problems telling wrestling fact from fiction.
While the high-flying, death-defying moves in the ring are very real (as injuries can attest), the storylines, well, are not. They're scripted. Duh. But as HHH notes, Trump bought it.
This explains a lot. After all, Trump has been all-in on fake conspiracy theories, like believing the election he wound up winning was "rigged," (well, until he won) and that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Trump also knows a key in wrestling is playing the heel, the bad guy, just as he did to the people of Iowa when he fell behind Ben Carson in a pre-caucus poll in February, saying, "How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?"
And, in the conspiracy theory cherry-topper, Trump appeared on Fox News ahead of the Indiana primary in May and cited a story by the National Enquirer claiming that Ted Cruz's father was in cahoots with Lee Harvey Oswald in the days leading up to the JFK assassination.
Does this mean that Trump believes Linda McMahon, his appointee to lead the Small Business Administration, really spent time in a catatonic state due to a nervous breakdown only to recover in time to thwart Vince in his WrestleMania X-7 match against their son Shane?
Or that he might have had his head shaved had his chosen representative, Bobby Lashley, lost to Vince McMahon's chosen wrestler, Umaga, during the "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania 23?
Who knows? It seems Trump is willing to believe anything.
