It appears that the real definition of hoax is the business mogul America saw on The Apprentice.

Some hedge fund managers can be billionaires on only 60 employees. E.g Jeff Talpins.

Ultimately, Mr. Trump has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life.

Many major corps have employees numbered in the thousands or even hundred of thousands. Twenty +/- employees is a mom & pop shop as that reckoning goes.

And many more stories, are all lies, made of whole cloth for the dupes to believe in the greatness of Rs (who in turn only goal was the ascendance of the toxic rich).
The only thing worse than Trumps lies are the lies, by and about, Reagan and his greatness. https://inthesetimes.com/article/the-enduring-lies-of-ronald-reagan
The Enduring Lies of Ronald Reagan
Though the GOP continues to canonize the fortieth president, we cant forget his legacy as a liar and a foreign policy flop
Susan J. Douglas June 19, 2007
Ronald Reagan was a saint, a commanding leader, the gold standard of principled conservatism against whom all current and future Republicans should be measured. This is the new mantra coming out of the Republican race for the presidency as the current crop of candidates scramble, quite understandably, to distance themselves from the walking disaster that is George W. Bush

successful billionaire image that he created is about to crash and burn. Even after he arranged for him to have his fancy production at the RNC convention.
