Penn Jillette on Donald Trump, “However bad you think he is, he’s worse”



He talks about his time on The Apprentice and how he is sure that he would have won on the final episode, except for the fact that he would not endorse Trump for President. Penn doesn't think Trump is very intelligent, just a good showman.

Pushing a hoax (himself as a legit candidate...for anything) for fame and glory. That's tRump in a nutshell. PT Barnum with none of the charm.

How sad is it that I recognized the fish tank behind the interviewer as the one created by the Tanked people on Animal Planet?

They end up high on the ladder and think, "Wow, look what I did all by myself" and never bother to wonder where the ladder came from in the first place.

I don't agree with him more than half the time, but I feel he really believes in his views and I've got to respect him for it.
