I was a big fan of The Apprentice, especially the first 3 seasons. DJT did not actually spend a lot of time on camera in each episode. He would divide them into groups and give the challenge to the participants, then they would do the challenge for most of the show. Then at the end all would appear in ‘The Boardroom’ and it would be determined which group won and which lost. Winners were sent away and the leader of the loser group had to defend and also make a recommendation as to who should be ‘fired’. Lots of drama (tv) but I liked to listen to DJT’S analysis and how he cut through the contestants’ bs. Sometimes it was unorthodox. Sometimes the obvious point of failure (read: Omarosa) would be targeted by the contestants for firing but DJT wouldn’t fire her because he would point out some failure on the part of the leader to ‘manage’ her. I always thought that part was bs tv upping the tension. While I liked watching the show I don’t think it gave true insight into how DJT works. If you want to know that, read “Art of the Deal”. Hope that helps.
Thanks for filling me in on your observations about the show. I did not read “Art of the Deal, but I read other things he wrote, and so had a sense of who he really is from that.
The question given to to me up thread which I was addressing was regarding his ability to “act” - and on a stage.... which I do not have a way of assessing.
He is a truly amazing soul.
