I agree about the bully part. I've said this before, but he seemed to reward bullying on the Apprentice. I admit that I enjoyed the show and thought Trump did a great job with it. However, if I somehow was in Trump's circle, I don't think I would personally like him. If he were a member if any of my forums I doubt he would last long. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I posted an article the other day, the author says Trump is not like his public persona when he's in private. His friends say the same thing. Trump is quiet, he listens very well, and they say he's the best friend you'll ever have, if you're lucky enough to get that honor. What we saw on the TV show, and on the stump, is Trump's business persona. He's blustery and blunt, he speaks his mind. He's bigger than life. There are lots of people like that. Howard Stern is very quiet when he's off the air. So is Rush Limbaugh. Rush is not a big talker in private. Same with Johnny Carson. They said the private man was almost a recluse when he was off the air, had few friends and seldom went out. When Trump is in public, he's 'on', in private he's not. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It is about building your brand. How many other real estate developers have his kind of name recognition? How many stars keep a reality show for so long? Even with all the push Obama got, he still had to put out many times the campaign money and effort that Trump did. Even in public he turns it up and down. More up when he had to cut through 16 other competitors. Put him one on one for an interview and he turns down the bombast. The President is a fink. |

Yeah, he turns down the bombast but cranks up the stupidity (see his recent Jake Tapper interview that has Republicans who endorsed him cringing). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Jerry Springer kept his garbage trailer trash show going for years, and it' still running in reruns. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

IMO; calling Trump a poor man's Jerry Springer denigrates the cesspool Springer worked to build. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Jerry Springer had a prime time network show for 10 years? Really? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Oprah didn't have prime time. Means nothing. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Neither Oprah or Springer would have had a prime time show that lasted 1 year, let alone 12, like Trump. And it's still on the air and would still have Trump, if he hadn't run for office. Like it or not, people love this guy, he's an icon. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
