I'm so over this game show host.

Why did anyone ever give a fuck about this guy?

He was a bottom of the barrel choice for a gameshow and was super lucky to get the Apprentice.

Any fuckstick could've taken that role and run with it

It's amazing what 25 years of propaganda will do to people.

Hey now. Calling him a game show host is diminishing his filmography significantly. He was also an extra in Home Alone 2.

[–] monsterlynn@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

True. He also appeared on Saturday Night Live several times. Definitely presidential material.

The Apprentice did more to convince people he was a brilliant businessman than his work in business ever did.

I used to LOVE Celebrity Apprentice - - but I thought it was a ridiculous joke! I knew Trump was a loser in the businesses world for decades! And that stupid lookin hair and Long Island mobster taste level and way of speaking that he had... Then he'd roll out his dumb kids and they'd be all judgey and gloaty.

Could not believe other people took that seriously.

Part of me still doesn't.

Totally agree, he's become less and less relevant and I'm tired of hearing about him... sigh
