my wife was a fan of The apprentice, mainly the british and brazilian version, but I ended up binge wathcing a fair few Trump ones too
I fairly rapidly came to the conclusion that Trump didn't appear to be a smart guy. Irrational, massively conceited and easily influenced by flattery came across quite strongly. I havent really tracked his career to say whether this was always the case or that it was due advancing age-related senility. I think it says more about America that this wasn't immediately apparent when he nominated. It seems many responded to and credulously accepted his simplistic messages, and his innoculating supporters to disbelief any criticm was effective, though hardly unoriginal. Brexit already showed the way to this effectively by claiming media conspiricy. The Trump campaign merely copied.
