And he wonders why his White House leaks like a sieve. When you ask your subordinates to give you total loyalty but never give it back and make each day a nightmare leaks happen. Donald Trump has always treated his people like this and it's usually ended badly.

There is a reason aside from the Apprentice and Trump Towers that he's usually sucked in management roles. In fact he was basically not even running the show on the Apprentice right? Just showing up and making decisions at the end?

I actually asked my mom recently what he did exactly on the Apprentice and she said that most of the work on set was handled by his daughter Ivanka. Just like his current administration (plus Kushner).

How was your mom connected with The Apprentice? Did she work on the show? A contestant?

For the life of me, I just don't see how anyone would want to work for a guy like this.

Nope, my parents just watched the show. Apparently even the TV showed that it was his daughter who was the person actually visiting the contestants during their competitions. Donald only showed up to fire somebody at the end of each episode usually. That's their recollection of the show itself so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

I remember my dad telling my how beautiful Ivanka was and that I'd like the show. I responded something to the effect of "girls have coodies." It was like 2005.

Trust me - the Apprentice was way better before he brought his kids into it. I stopped watching after George and Carolyn left the show and only watched reruns of Celebrity Apprentice after that
