(73,537 posts)I knew who he was, from his partnership with Don King in promoting boxing in the 1980s. Having a very, very low opinion of King, I assumed Trump was just another parasite. I was unaware of "The Apprentice" until he entered the republican primaries, as I have no interest in that type of crap.
When he was first in the primaries, an associate assured me it was a scam with two goals: to promote the Trump brand, and todamage Jeb Bush as severely as possible, so that Clinton could wipe the mat with Bush in the general election. Obviously, even if that was the original plan, things changed during the primaries. I did watch the republican debates, finding them to be a giggle at first, but then actually feeling sorry for a Bush, truly a first in my life.
