Trump was the Apprentice Reagan was the master.

                                             Trump is the Apprentice.

We all know our president from the TV show The Apprentice, the question is if Donald Trump is the apprentice. If so, who is the master? This is important now more than ever. We must investigate the connections between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. We have pictures of them together going back many years and it is

unclear the nature of their relationship. It is also unclear whether or not they have any relationship at all; however the absence of evidence does not mean evidence of absence. We believe and understand "that there are known knowns and unknown unknowns", as Mr. Rumsfeld so eloquently put it. With this being said let’s go right into our comparisons we see that both men were television stars before becoming president. Both men in the eyes of the silent majority of Americans , people in the heartland of the USA are viewed as heroes. Many of these people live by the I am white and I say so mentality. They feel there is no room for the other, which is to say if it is white then it is right. Not many of these people did nor would ever vote for president 44, for obvious reasons. As part of that white backlash, there began to be a resurgence of the racial bigotry that some say made America great. Upon examination of the American national epic we see the expansion of this Republic  is at the expense of the others or non-white populations. There must be winners and losers for Capitalism to work. As long as there has been an American the losers seem to be colored people (people of color).

During the 1980s Donald trump became a wealthy man in his own right. Although he was born into a wealthy business family; we cannot ignore the old saying  "a penny saved is a penny earned". Therefore to belittle his success would be dishonest. To say the very least Mr. Trump build his name into something synonymous with the lifestyles of the rich and famous. For decades Mr. Trump has been a business icon and more recently he became a television star. As we examine his life and listen to his political rhetoric it is easy to see that he understands Americans very well. The psyche if you will of the average American citizen. That person who believes that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity with a kite during a thunderstorm. Those people we believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America. Those people who believe that America is a white Christian nation and that everyone else is here to serve under their leadership. Those people are his base.

Many of middle America believe that Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of all time. Many republicans say that during the Reagan years America, was at its best. These are a few parallels that we must scrutinize. Mr. Trump and Mr. Reagan had very little experience in governments,(even though Regan was Gov) both of their cabinets filled with people who are more accomplished and they both became household names because of their roles on television. This is important because their candidacies depended upon celebrity status. Also many voters perception of them was taken from the roles played on television. For instance many people believe that Mr. Reagan was a great war hero and experienced enough to handle being the head of our military with no experience. In the same manner Mr. Trump for years built his iconic name but more recently has become a household name and respected in the boardroom on the apprentice.  This show gave the American people the confidence in his character to believe he is a great businessman and competent enough to run the nation. These parallels alone are enough to begin to speculate when we have come to the conclusion that Donald trump was not looking for an apprentice, he was the apprentice.
