Do you actually follow anything on the news? Trump has hired some of the best military and economic advisors on the planet to be on his team. You really need to read more than the Daily Kos if you want to keep up. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 241 Posts: 6108 | I've watched every season of the Apprentice and don't think I've ever missed an episode. The message Trump conveys over and over is to win at almost any cost. He seems to reward contestants that throw under contestants in front of the bus. However, most of the time when it comes to making a decision who to fire, he listens to the counsel of whoever his advisers are. Yes, sometimes he gets mad and fires people on the spur of the moment, but there is always a reason behind it. What is my point? I guess it is that the Trump we've seen in the primaries is somewhat of an act. I think the real person is much more moderate. Not that I'm a fan of him as president. I am just saying that I won't lose sleep over him starting a nuclear war because he was in a bad mood. I am one of those who voted for Trump over Cruz, who I have nothing good to say about.

I've read articles over the years by people who won the Apprentice. They all have nothing but praise for how they were treated by Trump when they went to work for him. He was always encouraging and actually went out of his way to mentor them. If they called, Trump would make time to talk. Look at Omorosa, from the first season, she has nothing but good things to say about trump. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've always wondered what really happened with the winners. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

You're so lucky killing time isn't a capital offense. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I watched a few episodes It struck me as an hour long commercial with all the product placements and product advertising on the show itself. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Shows have to make money. Trump clearly made money for his partners. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

What show doesn't have product placement. It goes back to movies in the 40's. I saw a Netflix show that had PP in every minute of it. A bottle of Bud, or a bottle of Jack, or a box of Kelloggs Corn Flakes on the table. The cigs they smoked came in packs identical to Marlboro, but they never showed the brand. A Coke cooler on the porch, a Harley and a Ford truck were shown and discussed, Oscar Meyer salami was used for sandwiches, with Kraft mayo. It never ended. You act like Trump invented it or something. Watch Seinfeld sometime for PP, it was everywhere. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I forget which James Bond movie it was, but the production cost was 100% paid by placement fees. First time it ever happened. I do wonder if the average consumer realizes how blatant it can be. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
