❝Trump’s experience as the decade-long host of The Apprentice…has always been crucial to understanding both his appeal and his approach to politics. He sees the presidency as a television show, and his decisions are often driven by the desire to make good television above all else.❞

The political press in its current form is best understood as reality TV. Yes, even the NYT and the WaPo. Not news. Not reality. Reality TV.

Is it any surprise that a reality TV star knows how to exploit it?
