Implausible story, but the idea is that a roller blader happens buy and hands him a copy of "the art of the deal" and he reads it and it changes his life. i dont know whether or not to believe the story. i talked to his wife at the time saying i dont remember reading the book. he says he was inspired by trump to become a businessman himself. >> reading yo you are story made me feel like really our problem is that its donald trumps all the way down, theres a certain kind of like sort of the fer e...

No one went broke underestimating the intelligence of the american people, p.t. barn um quote. trump is the most extreme version we have of that. >> burnett said at the time the apprentice cramer out, he talked about trump in these terms. before the apprentice he made survivor. there is this zero sum ethos. its you and me facing off at the table, one of us is going to win, one of us is going to lose. thats government, family, day to day life, thats business. >> there is no one in the article aro...

Time "the apprentice" came out, he talked about him in these terms. he made "survivor," any interaction in life its you and me facing off against a table. one of us is going to win and one of us is going to lose. thats government, family, day-to-day life and business. >> theres no one in that article around the show who has any doubt that but for the apprentice, donald trump is president. >> something theyve all said. >> all of them. >> a lot of them toss and turn at night thinking about this. >...
