DONALD TRUMP'S HUGE WWE PAYDAYS REVEALED

TheSmokingGun.com website featured a report on Donald Trump's charity, or apparent lack thereof on their website today, analyzing his tax returns.

Interesting to note that according to the article, WWE donated to the Donald J. Trump Foundation charity $4 million for Trump's part in Wrestlemania 23 in Detroit, where he and Vince McMahon led Bobby Lashley and the late Umaga into the ring, leading to Vince's head being shaved.

WWE then donated $1 million in 2009 to the charity for Trump's appearances on Raw where he was revealed as the new owner of Raw and then promptly sold it back to Vince McMahon, including a stunt where the company refunded the entire live gate back to those attending the taping.

Not bad work if you can get it!
