Donald Trump's Apprentice persona may have framed him as presidential, but he doesn't display the characteristics of the star of a reality show, says Lucas Mann. Specifically, what makes a reality star is being accessible and vulnerable to the public, qualities that Trump never displays. "This is why speaking in blanket statements about this reality-TV presidency is limiting and unproductive," says Mann. "Trump may well be trying to run his administration like a very particular kind of program, but increasingly the show seems to be shifting out of his control. What’s being revealed is how ill-equipped Trump is to deal with the burdens of not just the job of president, but also that of a reality-TV star."

You got the wrong president dude! It was Obama who always talked about himself but the liberal media never told you!

While campaigns are meant to be about the voters President Obama mentioned himself OVER a 100 times!

Mr Obama said the word 'I' 98 times and 'me' 19 times in a single 25-minute speech to a crowd in Sandusky, Ohio on July 5.

Who said anything about Obama ? Whether or not Obama was me first has nothing to do with whether or not Trump is. You sound like Trump.
