Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
An MMA writer, Nate Wilcox, claims that super agent Ari Emanuel (the inspiration for HBO's 'Entourage' character Ari Gold) has been behind a yearslong effort to give Donald Trump "macho cred" by bankrolling his association with the UFC. Emanuel, brother of former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, reportedly served as Trump's agent and has been instrumental in crafting Trump's tough-guy image through UFC spectacle.
