    I still think The Apprentice had a hand in giving him the presidency. That show made people think he was actually a savvy businessman, when he’s the furthest thing from it.

    Oh, 100%. There is a good chance that even after all the self-promotion that Tacostein did all during the 80s and 90s that many Americans had no clue who he was. That show he was given changed that, and gave many Americans the entirely wrong impression of this failson.

    Of course, the “liberal media” did almost nothing to disabuse Americans of that impression of Tacostein as a Bigly Important Bidness Man.
