    I’m not so sure someone would have replaced him. If Trump hadn’t landed that TV show, I think his empire would have collapsed. Trump very narrowly beat Hillary. There’s a good chance she would have won against anyone else. The Supreme Court would be left leaning. 4 years of the Trump nightmare would have gone at least slightly the opposite direction. The world would look a lot different today.

    A few decades of Fox and the conservative agenda definitely have had their consequences, but the way everything landed seems like an unlikely distracted scenario.

    So, what I’m saying is…I hate The Apprentice.

      If not for Trump it’s more probable that Hillary would have lost with a bigger margin.
