I watched the apprentice yesterday, I don't how close it comes to reality but if it does than saying your good at making deals is more important than actually making good deals.
That is Trump's whole schtick, he bullshits everyone around him, and if called on it he is all deny/deflect/delay.
He was so great at deal making that he had to take a job working for a Hollywood studio pretending to be a successful businessman and "firing" people from a job that doesn't exist.
Fuck, he kept insisting that nobody would have ever heard of Penn &Teller if not for him, while standing under the giant mural of them on their eponymous theater in Vegas.
I've heard (never actually seen the apprentice myself, and I haven't followed up, so take it with a big grain of salt) that the show was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Like Trump was such a fantastically bad business man, it was meant to be a joke. But unfortunately, most people are apparently blind to satire, and all it takes is acting like you know what you're doing to convince them you do.
I wouldn't call it satire, but since it doesn't paint a very flattering picture of him I can imagine his supporters would call it satire. It is funny, but that because he behaves stupid. The real him is also funny in the same way, but at the same time there is nothing funny about it because he gets his way. His supporters probably say it's made to make him look bad, but I feel I better understand him after seeing it. Doesn't make me like him more though, the consequences his actions have on people makes him quite a villain; then and now.
Yeah, that's Trump in a nutshell. He'd be hilarious if things weren't so serious.
You've heard of the great dictator well he's the greatest dictator
