Journalist Phil Mushnick has long covered Donald Trump and Vince McMahon, who have been linked together since Trump Plaza in New Jersey hosted WrestleMania IV and WrestleMania V. They’ve remained friends since then.
While appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Mushnick said (per Fightful) he warned Trump not to get mixed up with McMahon.
“[Trump] had just run the Miss Universe contest and he got rid of the winner because she was on alcohol and drugs, and he played this noble man and he was going to take care of that and clean up the pageant. I called him and I said, ‘Donald, I have four boxes, I’ll deliver them to you, with all the Fed Ex records of the steroids and opioids delivered to McMahon, the wrestlers, Hulk Hogan from (Dr. George) Zahorian. I will give them to you. You don’t want to be involved in this.’ What did he say? He’s the smartest man on earth. ‘No, don’t worry about it. I’m going to give the money to charity.’ ‘How much are you going to give to charity?’ ‘About a million dollars.’ ‘I hope to see the ceremony where you present that big styrofoam check for a million dollars because if you give a million dollars to charity, we’d all know it,'” Mushnick said.
