What model is Trump following as he attempts to run the government? People say that he’s running the government the way he runs his businesses, but that can’t be right. Trump has no idea how to run a business. He’s a con man. He couldn't manage a burger joint. But he does have a well-learned model for how to pretend to run things, his TV show, THE APPRENTICE.
If you recall, THE APPRENTICE was a show in which a motley group of people would attempt to win his favor and become his chief bum boy. One by one he would find them inadequate and fire them. At the end of the season a single brown-noser would be left, the winner. At least that’s how I think THE APPRENTICE went. I never watched it. In a sense I am watching it now, the government of the United States as a spin-off of a fake reality show.
I just heard an expert say that maybe Trump will soon get the cabinet he wants. There’s no such cabinet. What Trump wants and gets is his show, his churn, his turnover, his posse of fools attempting to placate him and failing.
This is madness.
