Didn't people ever tire of him on the Apprentice?

[Bleacher Creature]

Even if a person was indifferent about his policies and rhetoric (which I just don't get), he uses the same 12 words over and over and over again, and tweets the same basic nonsense each and every time.

Shouldn't people - even those not terribly into politics - be getting tired of listening to him whine? Shouldn't any normal person (i.e., someone not part of his cult) be sick of his childish name calling and his non-stop repetition of his crazy conspiracy theories?

I just don't get it.

1. He was heavily edited.

Now we get the raw, unedited, version.

9. Yep.

In a long profile on Mark Burnett and Trump in The New Yorker published on Thursday, Jonathan Braun — an editor during the first six seasons of “The Apprentice” — revealed to the magazine that Trump would often decide, on a whim, which contestant to “fire” at the end of each episode. “The Apprentice” like most reality competition shows, featured a series of weekly challenges and Trump would decide who did the worst and eliminate that person from the competition.

But Braun explained that Trump was often unprepared and would seemingly decide at random who he felt should be eliminated.

That meant that, even if the “fired” contestant may have objectively had a good performance in the challenges, the editors had to go back and find ways to highlight how they may had messed up, Braun told the magazine.

This deceptive editing, which happens in many reality TV series as a way to amplify drama, extended past Trump’s decision on who to send home. Katherine Walker, a producer on the show, told the New Yorker that they often had to edit his speech to make him sound more coherent. “We cleaned it up so that he was his best self,” she said. “I’m sure Donald thinks that he was never edited.” She did admit that Trump’s personality made him perfect for reality TV, which often thrives on personalities who are unpredictable.

2. Doesn't matter. The media will force-feed the masses

Twitter amplifies everything, causing the media (including DU) to endlessly promote every keyboard click. Trump has sucked the oxygen out of the media. Climate change? Greenland losing billions of tons of ice? Another mass shooting? Dead children in concentration camps? Oh, never mind. We have another "outrageous" and/or "controversial" tweet to write about!

Then, LOL!! Did you see the latest SNL "funny skit" about trump? HAHAHAHAHA Oh, it's so funny!!111!!!1 I can't stop laughing!!11!! Everything is so funny!!111!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

By the way, did you see that funny person at the vet taking their empty carrier back to their car? They were crying!!!11!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Please kill me.

3. There are shows I never watch even once, as the whole premise turns me off. That was one....

In fact, any tv show with "reality" in the title gets a complete miss from me. The trailers are enough.

I knew Trump from the acute observations of his New York contemporary: Garry Trudeau.

[BigmanPigman]

4. Never watched it...looked stupid and boring and fake...reality TV at its best/worst.

Also, never used Twitter or Fakebook. I have better things to waste my time with.

[Ohiogal]

10. You sound just like me.

[Jane Austin]

18. And me.

I've got much better ways to waste my time!

[spanone]

17. 'reality' TV is the greatest oxymoron of all time

[malaise]

20. I saw less than one episode

and like you never joined Facebook or Twitter

[AZ8theist]

5. I never watched that show...

Because, having working in NYC, I knew 30 years ago Doturd was a fucking IMBECILIC ASSHOLE.

[Skittles]

6. I am disgusted that anyone could ever find him entertaining

7. No,

Never watched the show. I find all reality shows a complete waste of my time.

[lunatica]

16. My sentiments exactly

I stream all my tv now with ATT TV. No more shit shows or screaming commercials.

[Sherman A1]

19. I will have to look at that option

My 2 year deal with charter is about to expire and although I left ATT U-verse for it's crappy signal and continued hang ups I may have to wander back.

8. I never saw the show because I never could stand the sight of him nt

[smirkymonkey]

15. Same here.

I could never understand why anyone would intentionally watch that garbage. The sight of him makes me sick and always has, even before he became president.

[Baked Potato]

11. Never watched it ever. Phony bullshit. He embodies every bad trait a human can have.

[PatSeg]

12. I never could understand

the appeal of the show. I never watched it and was surprised it enjoyed any success at all. Not a huge fan of reality TV and The Apprentice looked like the worst of the worst.

[Karadeniz]

13. I wouldn't know about the show. Never saw a minute of it. I heard about the You're Fired and

Had no interest in something that sounded like bullying to me.

[SMC22307]

14. I tired of him in the '80s...

never made it as far as The Apprentice. Reality TV is not my thing and with him at the helm - no fucking way.
