Wrestling With Trump review

 

"But it’s kayfabe that is the key to Trump’s success. Kayfabe, in wrestling, is the pretence that everything is real – that the invective is unscripted, that the Heels’ and heroes’ backstories are authentic, that the moves are unchoreographed, and that the bodyslams, hip checks and chokeholds are as dangerous and painful as they look. For as long as the fight lasts, you live the illusion. Nothing is true except what you are told you see."
