You’re Fired Donald Trump!
I consider myself an entrepreneur. Business is my passion. I went to a business school, read all the books one should read on business to be a successful and I am constantly analyzing those who I consider successful with the hope that I can learn from their success and ensure mine. I’m hungry for the knowledge of what it takes to succeed in life, and every once in a while I am surprised by a successful public figure and the decisions they make.
Donald Trump is no stranger to the limelight. He’s gone from a well known and respected businessman in real estate to a celebrity business and TV icon. I didn’t think it was such a big deal when he came out with the apprentice. Hell, he makes a lot of money from the show, so how can I blame him even if it is a bit cheesy. The Rosie O’Donnell thing wasn’t so bad even if it was a bit drawn. Frankly she annoys me too, so I can’t blame him. The extra media attention each received from the feud further solidfied their names in the minds of the American public. Now Mr. Trump is finding new fame with the WWE! This is too much. I can’t take him seriously. Donald Trump has officially jumped the shark! I’m done with all of his books and advice. Yeah he might be a billionaire, but he is certainly not who I aspire to be. Donald, you’re fired!
Maybe shaving his head if he loses isn’t such a bad thing. Everyone agrees that his hair is terrible. The networks are going to love this one, but I’m done with his antics.
If success equates to making money then don’t knock the Don for appearing on the WWE because he probably just made himself a whole lot more more money, and thus more successful. If you don’t appreciate the Don’s blatent marketing ploy it’s more likely you share a different vision of success. His worldview, I imagine, is drastically different from my own but who am I to criticize since the colossal prick could probably squash me like an ant.
