Trump’s Quirks (Episode 1)

Donald has some quirks and since one of the Apprenti has a background in organizational behavior, it’s just too easy.

Trump levied one of his more politically insensitive remarks when he told Lenny, who grew up in the former Soviet Union, that his trip in the blimp as the equivalent of being sent to Siberia. Yes, Mr. Trump, let’s compare a trip in a hot air balloon with the systematic torture, execution, and denial of human rights of Russians over the period of 50 years. Trump proceeded to forego using Lenny’s name, instead calling him, The Russian.

Trump has a long-standing fascination with conventional intelligence because, frankly, he doesn’t have it. He has a lot of other things going for him: good street smarts, charisma, and business acumen. His selection of Tarek—as a Mensa member—and Allie—as a graduate of Harvard business—only succeeded in revealing his own insecurities. At the end of episode, he judged Tarek to be over-rated and lacking sense: a victory for Trump.
