No. If not a President, he would be a reality TV star.

Star? How about just a reality TV guy? He was never a star.

He was a propped up star. When you look back at it yes to a certain degree he was a star who did have a fan base but when you looked into it even then it was a hollow fanbase. Unfortunately advertising for both a Monopoly game and the TV show Apprentice did make him a star. Just you know one that needed to do everything to cling to relevance

I wouldn't even say that, he was like the judge, the stars were the participants, they brought the content and were who people talked about, he just uttered "you're fired".

He was marketed as the star. The fact that his actual contributions were staged and bullshit doesn’t matter. That’s every reality TV show. He was the star. People bought the marketing of him as a successful businessman and here we are today thanks to crappy reality tv shows.
