[QUOTE="Method Mensch, post: 4280789, member: 71846"] I still get a good chuckle out of it. Obama hit the nail on the head, but drove the nail through his big toe. The Apprentice was how the American people really got familiar with the name Donald Trump. It is based at least in part on his television persona that he got 48%of the popular vote. What does not come through, unsurprisingly, on The Apprentice is how unsuccessful he really was in business. Personally well off over the course of his (primarily) real estate career, he was a master of extracting personal wealth out of a truly staggering string of business failures. He left a trail of businesses gone bust, unpaid contractors and lenders. When they scoped out the board room before beginning to film The Apprentice, they noted it looked like it hadn't had any work done on it since the 70s. They had to completely gut and remodel the place to project the image of a big time successful business. People swallowed that image hook, line and sinker. [/QUOTE]
