He and the current President of the United States, Donald Trump, are both enemies and friends. They are each other's fierce rivals in the business world, and they are the best partners of both sides in peacetime. When Trump was not running for president, he often went to watch the games and even acted as a screenwriter. He even "battled" with the McMahon family. Trump also used a golden arm hook to knock down Vince, and then the two sides scuffled. Not to be outdone, Vince once grabbed Trump who was watching the game in the box and directly brought him to the ring to serve him with old fists. Due to a sex scandal, he voluntarily resigned as President and CEO of WWE on June 17, 2022, and his daughter Stephanie McMahon took over the position. She officially announced her retirement on July 22. By January 2023, he returned as chairman of the company. In April of the same year, Endeavor announced that WWE and its Ultimate Fighting Championship would merge into a new company, TKO Group Holdings, with Vince serving as executive chairman of the new company. Later, Vince's sex trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit entered the federal investigation stage, so he resigned from TKO in January 2024.
