Nichole Wallace she was caught flat-footed with a guest question. He suggested that NBC created Trump an the MAGA movement. She quickly tried to bring up another point but he had enough time to make his case.

He was I bet was going make a point about Trumps TV Show Apprentice that ran for I think 8 years. He even mentioned that Trump made nearly a half a billion dollars an raised his profile on NBC. Before people go to the TDS line I thought it was an interesting point He made.

NBC now making anything Trump does headline story. It makes you wonder how they now feel.
 
Somebody bringing up NBC running a popular reality show, somehow created MAGA, was an interesting point was it?

Yo, get Vince McMahon and the producers of "Home Alone 2" in there. They need to be brought to task for putting Trump on TV and creating MAGA. LOL.

Dump.

you wouldn't understand, because you aren't from here. his TV show really did broaden his horizons as far as his notoriety goes. he was just known as a rich motherfucker to those outside of NY. the show revealed to the nation (our nation) how he really was. I'm willing to bet you jumped on the Trump train only after he set foot into politics., even though you probably would never admit it.

again, your obsession with Trump fascinates me, you Canadian, you.

He was given a massive 8 year runway to raise his profile with many people who liked his "Your fired line" an his cold blooded treatment of players.

People where even at that time suggested he was just the guy we need in Washington.
 
Trump went on all those shows, but the hosts treated it like a goof. Of course my fellow Americans would miss that point entirely.

The Apprentice, Rosie feud, birtherism and the Obama roasting all played a part in his rise, though. So, NBC was part of the story.

This sums it up very well even when he was interviewed by Billy Bush when it was leaked his famous grab them by the ---- line was an NBC backed show. NBC not Fox created his personality.
 
They intentionally turned his image around and made him a star, yeah. I don't think they knew that he would end up using it politics, but I'm sure they're pretty happy about that too, as it was great for business and they got a huge tax cut.
 
Who's "he"?
<{vega}>

Either way, no. Trump has been in public life for like 45 years. Oprah had him on her show 35 years ago talking about politics the same way he does now and whether he'd ever run for president, but it's really the show he had in his 60s that had nothing to do with politics that did it?

You think you have to be American to know of a successful reality TV show? His "horizons" were already broadened. The only reason he got the show, was because of his notoriety. He was already a major celebrity before that show.

he was just known as a rich motherfucker to those outside of NY.

This just proves how ignorant you are. Donald Trump has been in public eye since before I was born. He was not just some rich suit, like Bloomberg or whoever. He's always been a celebrity.

Well, where does Oprah land on your TDS Bingo card? He was floating running for office on her show, long before The Apprentice came around.
 
LOL.

Him being on the Apprentice didn't create Trump it was the media giving over a billion dollars in free advertising that created Trump.

Again, he's always been himself. "The Apprentice" did not "expose" him as anything, except for what he's always been. A shrewd businessman, with celebrity appeal, brought on by a larger than life personality. You are the one proving your ignorance here. No, Donald Trump's celebrity status and "peak into his personality" did not begin with the reality show he got...because of his personality and celebrity appeal.

You don't know what you're talking about.

to those of us here in NY yes. no shit. to you? I seriously doubt it. like I said. you'll never admit it but your obsession with Trump I'm sure began after he set foot into politics. you're just salty because I've highlighted the one thing you can't ever get over - you're not American.

nevertheless, I've years in broadcast television. Trump was killing it with the Apprentice. you do realize he's boasted about this a number of times right?

I just love how you accuse me of being insulated, but then say that only New Yorkers could've possibly known about Trump before "The Apprentice". Maybe step outside of New York once in while. He was a global celebrity for decades, before he got "The Apprentice". He only got "The Apprentice" because he was so well known.

I repeat, you don't know what you're talking about.

I never accused you of being insulated. I called you a Canadian. the fact that you took that as being "insulated" is hilarious.

next, as I've stated for years, consistently so on here, even to you in the past - Trump's always been a dirtbag to us. he's always been in our public eye. people celebrated in the streets here every time he went bankrupt. I remember you specifically getting salty over the fact that I had mentioned that grew up 13 minutes away from my neighborhood" - you quoted me as if I was making shit up, defensively, out of no fucking where. I remember this because like I've said multiple times, your obsession fascinates me.

which leads me to ask.. are you attracted to Trump? admit it & I'll totally understand & leave you to it.

otherwise you're just a self hating Canadian incel who has spent the last 8+ years shitting on Americans because you wish you were American yourself. to me at least.

And what was the point of bringing that up, if not to say "You're not American, and certainly not from New York. You couldn't possibly have known about Trump!"

Yes. Just yours. You're totally not proving my point here. Only special little you and New York, knew about Donald Trump's personality before "The Apprentice". Only you guys knew. He was never an international celebrity whose exploits got printed everywhere around the world. Nope. Only New York knew about him. Nobody else.

You're a fucking moron, dude.

And no, I didn't accuse you of lying about growing up in the same neighborhood. I laughed at you, because you thought that gave you some special insight. Kind of like what I'm doing right now.
