I'll never really understand what viewers of the TV show the Apprentice saw in Trump.
For 14 seasons (from 2004 to 2017) he acted like an enraged toddler and became famous for saying "Your fired!"
The show was produced by British TV producer Mark Burnett and was co-produced by Trump who ironically was a terrible businessman pretending like he knew everything there was to know about successful big corporate businesses.
It's instructive to note that Trump had already declared bankruptcy on several casinos he owned in the 1990s. The Taj Mahal casino sold for 4 cents on the dollar. He already had a bad reputation for not paying his bills and foreign workers who helped build Trump Tower.
Yet, despite all the odds, the Apprentice was a successful show. So successful that Trump's ego had blown up to massive proportions, and he decided to run for president. At that time NBC cut ties with him after a disagreement over remarks that he made about Mexican immigrants during his announcement that he was seeking the office of the presidency.
After winning the 2016 election he was nearly impeached twice during his first term. Trump tried and failed to steal the 2020 election. Once again, against all odds, Trump got reelected in 2024.
America is now reaping its reward for bringing Trump back a second time. This vengeful version of Trump is worse than the first time around. He has no guardrails. His dementia has doubled and he is acting like a dictator and not even trying to hide the fact.
Recently Trump has been raging about the war he started and the Epstein files. I guess those two problems have caused him to go back to the "Your fired!" Apprentice mode. Attorney General Pam Bondi got to hear her fate in person at the White House when Trump dropped the hammer on her head.
Through Trump's proxies, like Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, people are being fired for reasons only Trump knows. The most damage being inflicted is against military leaders who refuse to carry out Trump's illegal demands.
For example, on Thursday Hegseth fired the Army chief of staff, Gen. Randy George, whose term was expected to be four years. Why?
Apparently, George recently asked to meet with Hegseth to discuss Hegseth's blocking of promotions for some Army officers, which seemed to focus on women and black men. Hegseth refused to meet with him. Then Hegseth fired him.
One of the crazy things about these firings is that they've been elevated to his MAGA supporters recently. Bondi was only the tip of the iceberg according to the scuttlebutt in Washington D.C.
The first felon, whose paranoia grows more daily, is eyeing MAGA stalwarts like FBI Director Kash Patel, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. It's also said that there are other cabinet members treading thin ice. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was told she's fired last month.
This version of the Apprentice is a horror show.
As it Stands, the damage Trump has inflicted upon the country is going to last for generations. Our host is still that mean little toddler who never grew up.
