Malignant narcissist and con man Donald "Impeachable Me" Trump was once referred to as a "carnival barker" for his trashy persona and huckster behavior. He became so identified with his lame reality TV show "The Apprentice," which falsely portrayed him as a successful businessman (who went bankrupt 6 times and lost a casino), that many of the mouth breathers that voted for him carried that image into the voting booth. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he's run the White (Supremacist) House as a sick and dangerous version of his reality show, with constant strife, chaos, incompetence, nepotism, backstabbing, daily scandals, etc. That's all he knows as a life-long grifting con artist.
It's amusing to read that he's apparently been in touch with the show's producer Mark Burnett to produce a spinoff of the original show, that would tentatively be entitled "The Apprentice: White House" after he leaves office. Trump's reportedly intrigued by the concept. The list of people he's "fired" so far would fill several seasons. The big problem with the scheme is that Trump will find himself busy with court dates and trials after leaving a stained Oval Office behind. Many of the crimes now under investigation, for example in New York, carry long sentences, and are certain to keep him running from the law for the rest of his nasty life. And the last thing a Dem President would do would be to pardon the monster.
So, Burnett might want to pitch something along the lines of "The Apprentice: Jailbird Don" the next time around. Watching Trump learn how to make toilet wine would be so entertaining.
