“Trump’s ability… in his way, like he hates him and him, he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes to get under people’s skin,” Levesque said. “I think he likes to produce (heat) the way he does it. It’s amazing, it’s a genius and it worked well in our business.
“Do you think he got it from our business? I think he was born. I think it was his life. You’re thinking about it. You have a lot of billionaires in the world. Why was he the most famous? You do all these things and captivate people. That’s why he’s here.”
