Art of the Deal. My dad had the book and when I was young, I think 5th grade, I read it and was like this is a good book. Yes, yes, it was ghost written, as are most books by famous people.
Then I totally forget about the guy until apprentice. And the show rocked. You're FIRED! As a business major, I loved watching that in undergrad. We all knew it wasn't reality, but we all thought, hey, this is our look outside the ivory tower, LOL. And Trump was funny and seemed fair. Then you see the guy go on the talk show circuits and he seemed genuine. I only saw him on a few, so can't speak for all.
then in the 2012 election I notice he is running as a TP. That was the first time I thought the guy might be a nutter. He had some fresh ideas, outside the box (for back then), but he just didn't seem real. I thought it was publicity for his show. I mean this is the guy that could go on the View, talk with Oprah and they liked him.
And then he starts off with the birther crap. At first I thought it was joke just to, again, get more attention for his show, but then he doubled, tripled and quadrupled on stupid by promising something really big and he never produced.
At this point his popularity starts severely waning.
My question is, how, up until that point, was he so popular?
His popularity wasn't what propelled him to the Presidency....nor was it the Russians. But idiots on the left wallowing in ignorance and denial prefer to pretend these are the reasons.
Trump won because unlike ALL the other candidates on BOTH sides, he wasn't a professional politician, focused on an economic message and securing the borders and didn't take shit from a leftist FAKE media that no longer feigns objectivity and blatantly supports a leftist agenda.
It isn't hard to figure it out....unless you're a brain dead clueless liberal on steroids.
