President-elect Trump will nominate Linda McMahon, the co-founder and former CEO of multinational corporation World Wrestling Entertainment, to head the Small Business Administration, according to Reuters. McMahon, whose net worth is estimated around $850 million, would be responsible for awarding federal contracts to small businesses, providing counseling services to small business owners, and managing loan repayment policy.
McMahon, 68, has been trying to get into politics for years. She spent almost $100 million of her own money during two unsuccessful campaigns for United States Senate in 2010 and 2012—at the time, the most anyone had ever spent of their own money to run for a seat in Congress. Now she has the opportunity to advocate for entrepreneurs who need capital, rather than bleed it herself.
Trump has a long relationship with WWE, starting in 1988 when the newly opened Trump Plaza in Atlantic City hosted WrestleMania IV. The President-elect became a frequent attendee of WrestleMania events, which culminated with an absurd 2007 storyline known as the Battle of the Billionaires, featuring Trump feuding with WWE co-founder Vince McMahon (Linda’s husband). The feud ended with Trump forcefully shaving Vince’s head. WWE inducted Trump into its Hall of Fame in 2013.
You can watch that fateful haircut below. Vince’s reaction is not dissimilar to our current feelings about the world.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
