Ok, maybe for some people I don't know. But, maybe i'm just old? I knew Trump as a businessman waaaaaay before the TV show. In fact, and you probably won't believe this, but I never watched that show one time.


I mean Trump was known as a businessman in the 1980s. But since then, he's been more known as a reality star who was a businessman than a businessman who's a reality star.

I'm probably much younger than the average TigerDroppings user but I only knew Trump because of the TV show. It raised his profile considerably - there's a quote by Trump saying exactly this about the publicity and name recognition the show gave him.

Point is, I don't think people said, "ooh that's the dude from TV, let's vote for him"


That may be so but it doesn't change the fact that he IS a reality TV star. You can't say you don't respect influencers yet vote for a reality TV star who's a businessman. My point is, it still doesn't change the fact that he is a reality TV star.

reality TV star.


A few different ways to look at this:

Voted for Trump because of this.

Voted for Trump in spite of this.

Voted for Trump without taking this into consideration. (this is where I am personally).

His TV presence was such a small part of what he had going on, that it had no "influence". Again, i'm old and I don't watch the reality TV.

OK gotta get back to watching Matlock now.
