[quote=Anonymous]Trump is very clever. It is hard to admit that I watched "the apprentice" (sort of like eating potato chips). The show was on for 10 years and raised millions of dollars for charities. It made Trump a household word from the 10M people who watched each season. I think he learned a LOT from those celebrities, who were all ages and styles. How to work the media. How to hire someone to craft pithy one liners. How to stay in the limelight. How to use social media. He was an expert at playing people off against each other, seeming to back one person, while really having the winner picked on day one. Basic stuff in TV/ media. Then he moved onto the media with his campaign. The 16 people he eliminated from the R race included: 2+ ex governors, a shining star who was supposed to be so popular, a senator who had planned his campaign for years -- and so on. So no, I do not think it is all luck. Manipulation of the media is his forte. Soon you will see a new more mellow Trump, who will take aim at HRC.[/quote]
