it's easy, just be Donald J Trump, and LIE.
Trump repeatedly claimed during the showās run that āThe Apprenticeā was the āNo. 1 show on TV,ā or at least No. 1 on NBC. He did it in 2011 during a āTodayā interview, and as recently as 2015, a few months before he announced his candidacy for president.
But Trumpās decade-plus-long claims that he had the top show on TV were mostly false. āThe Apprenticeā was indeed an unqualified hit early in its life, and it did rank No. 1 among adults 18-49 the week of its first-season finale in April 2004. It was also the top-rated new show of 2003-04 in the 18-49 demo.
But no iteration of āThe Apprenticeā ever finished first on all of TV for a full season, and only Season 1 even came close. That year it finished fifth in adults 18-49 (behind the final season of āFriends,ā both weekly episodes of āAmerican Idolā and āERā) and seventh in total viewers.
Seasons 2 and 3 of the show, both of which aired in 2004-05, both finished in the Top 15 in adults 18-49 and viewers. After that, no cycle of either āThe Apprenticeā or āThe Celebrity Apprenticeā ranked higher than 17th in adults 18-49 for the season or higher than 38th in viewers.
Trump claimed āThe Celebrity Apprenticeā was No. 1 to a roomful of reporters at the winter 2015 TV press tour, and was corrected pretty swiftly: A few reporters pointed out that the show wasnāt even tops on the night it aired. Trump shrugged it off, replying, āThatās what I was told.ā
then when you get busted for lying blame it on someone else.
it's in his genetics ... stripes on a zebra never change ... if he will lie about little ISSUES, he'll lie about BIGLY issues.
