I was all in for Trump from the beginning because of his leadership role in the Tea Party Movement and his leading, along with Joe Arpaio, the charge to find out what was on Zero’s long for birth certificate. Because I remember hearing him interviewed along with Ted Nugent at that big rally at the Alamo and thinking, I wish HE were my president.
I never watched The Apprentice. I’ve always admired Mr. Trump but thought reality television to be trash. It probably is but now I love the way it set President Trump up to be able to dominate the media.
I had never watched The Apprentice either and had not really followed Trump’s career that closely. In fact, I have to confess, when he announced that he was thinking of running in 2012, I was annoyed. I was thinking, What’s this guy doing thinking of running? He doesn’t know anything about public policy, etc. When he announced he was thinking of running in 2016, I had warmed up to the idea a little but was still not convinced. But after his speech at Trump Tower I really liked what I heard. It took me about a week to convince myself that he was the real deal, and I’ve been onboard ever since.
