The 55-year-old retired wrestler was one of the US President's fellow inductees at the 2013 ceremony, and he has called on the company's boss to reverse the decision after pro-Trump protestors attacked the US Capitol building in Washington D.C. on Wednesday (06.01.21).
Tagging McMahon in his tweet, Foley wrote: "Hey Vince - how about throwing this sorry son of a b**** out of our Hall of Fame?"
The former world champion - who has been vocal with his criticism of Trump during his time in office - also laid the blame on the president as he shared a video of injured officers leaving the riot.
He said: "This is on you, Mr. President. Every single injury today is on you."
The outgoing president - who is set to be succeeded by President Elect Joe Biden on January 20 - has a long history with WWE.
In 1988 and 1989, his Trump Plaza was billed as the host venue for each year's WrestleMania event.
And in 2007, real life friends Trump and McMahon had an on-screen rivalry which culminated in the 'Battle of the Billionaires' at WrestleMania 23.
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was the special guest referee for the bout, which ended when Donald's representative Bobby Lashley pinned Vince's proxy Umaga.
As per the stipulation, Donald then helped Lashley and Austin shave Vince's head, before Stone Cold hit the future president with his signature Stone Cold Stunner move.
Meanwhile, a number of late night talk show hosts including Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and James Corden condemned the protestors' actions.
Kimmel said: "The President of the United States -- because he is too angry, too insecure and too incompetent to deal with the fact that he lost an election, a fair election, an election that was no different than any other election, an election he lost by seven million votes and 70 electors - turns an angry mob against members of Congress and his own Vice President.
"Not to mention endangering the Capitol police, those blue lives he claims matter so much to him."
