We do realize that Trump is basically in APPRENTICE stage, right?

He literally is an apprentice.

I haven't seen this point made so excuse me if this is redundant.

He's in a field he's never worked in.
He clearly has no idea what he's doing.
After 7 weeks he would normally have been FIRED at this point in a normal apprenticeship.
But, he does have a mentor. Domestically it's Pence...but the home office is overwatching the situation. The home office is in Moscow.

he has never actually worked for anyone. He has never had to answer to a boss or superior.

Boards of directors? They have all bee appointed by him and basically work for him, not the other way around.

The closest he ever came to having to answer to a "higher power" was after his last bankruptcy when he couldn't do anything without a custodian's approval. But, that was over when the banks disinvested and had nothing left to lose. He considered that a "victory."

He really has no idea how to act responsibly. He's never had to.

In his dad's car....with his dad's driver behind the wheel.

PBS's Decision 2016 is a great side by side comparison of he and Hillary.
