Summary
Before he was ever taken seriously as a politician, Donald Trump was very much taken seriously in the world of wrestling. His relationship with WWE stretches back as far as the 1980s - he went on to headline Wrestlemania and even challenged founder Vince McMahon to a match during a running feud. But what if wrestling was where Trump learned how to win the White House? Reality-defying performances, smack talk, and stunts are, after all, quintessentially Trumpian techniques. Munya Chawawa thinks that Trump's origin story in politics might start in the ring - and came into the studio to discuss why. Later, it was announced today that net migration has fallen by almost half, to its lowest level since the Covid pandemic. But will Keir Starmer be able to claim any credit for it?
