17. Eric Bischoff Comments On Linda McMahon’s Joining Donald Trump’s Cabinet
On the latest edition of Bischoff on Wrestling podcastm Eric Bischoff gave his views on Linda McMahon joining Donald Trump’s cabinet.
Below is what Eric siad:
“I’m really happy to see it. Linda McMahon will be the head of the Small Business Administration. The SBA has been around since 1953 and it was formed by the federal government to help assist small businesses. Mom & Pop Shops that wanted to grow their local restaurants and wanted to help grow their manufacturing business. Small business is the backbone of the American economy.
I think it’s really a tribute to Linda McMahon to be named as the chief of the SBA by President-Elect Donald Trump. It’s not like I’m close to the McMahon family at all but I was close enough to recognize the passion, the commitment, the knowledge, the experience, the ups, the downs that the McMahons had to go through to build an empire. I believe that Linda McMahon can relate to small business owners. She’s been through it herself.
I think it’s a fascinating development not only in our new government but also that somebody from our industry is acknowledged for accomplishing what they’ve accomplished and is being recognized for the experience that they can bring to the table to help other people that want to launch businesses. I’m very happy for Linda McMahon.”
