Kayfabe is the perfect summation of Donald Trump, the media and his base. Donald Trump is the ‘Fake It Til You Make It’ King who utilized his trust fund baby status to easily manufacture a false public image. Trump’s base loves him for it, they voted for him precisely because he is an outlaw. The media loves him for it because his drama brings attention capital which brings them massive profit.



Donald Trump has turned the world into his own personal WWE Wrestling ring. There is no fundamental difference between the appeal of Trump regime and the WWE. Heck, Donald Trump even had a role in the WWE — he was in his element
