Note on the games make up.

This game is a Peter Principle test writ large.
Donald is no fool, he is banking his reputation and his money on a possible loon, lawsuit waiting to happen, embessler, sycophant, or professional retard......he is not all too self-effacing so he has naturally created a mine field based on the human dynamic and tests which in little ways reflect tasks the prospects will be expected to successfully undertake as the apprentice, so that anyone who can make it is certainly at least a C-grade employee with potential, and not likely to have been hired to his/her level of incompetence but rather within the competence zone.
Remember that though this is a game format, it's serious.
Would you do anything less if you were shelling out cash and risking (nationally) your reputation?

People who think this is all show and no substance are the type of people who dismiss donalds success because one of his properties went bankrupt......HELLO, has any one heard the title, the art of the comeback, it was once much worse for him and yet.....has anyone here managed to be a couple of billion in debt and managed not only to repay the debt but get back to multibillion dollar wealth.......no? didn't think so!

He knows himself and uses what he knows about himself and his business smarts to strenghten himself not to weaken himself, he isn't a loon, he's a business man who has succeeded where multitudes fail.....tv, in real estate, public image, etc..

Why do people persist in thinking he's some one trick pony or con man, you don't stay in business for decades making billions because of pretty receptionists, kiss ##### execs, and stupid ideas...he is what is known as a business success !!!

....Donald...is that you?...Welcome to the boards...

Donald is making about 2 million for the season in salary from NBC, at least $100,000 an episode.

Trump's per-show salary does not include his cut of merchandising or producing fees for the show.

I would say he can pay whoever wins a six figure salary and still make out like a bandit on this show. He can give the winner a do nothing job if he does not have confidence in the winner. So TRump wins no matter what happens.
