I'm not sure I want to admit this, but I have watched quite a few of the Apprentice shows over the years. Trump has a remarkable ability to cut thru the BS and almost ALWAYS makes the right decision and asks the biting questions when deciding who to fire. I'm fairly certain this was a brilliant move by Trump to force the media to question this particular BC, in order to ratchet up the pressure for Obama to release the long-form.
I’m pretty sure it is. He has to be pleased with the way Politico took the bait.
