Trump was the founder of reality TV and one of the richest men in America, so being a heartthrob was to be expected, its impossible to avoid in that situation.

Sigh.
I think its obvious it was impossible for Clinton/Weinstein and many others.
Many people don't have great self-control/morals, but of course they aren't give the power that Clinton/Weinstein had.
They did it because their power made them feel entitled, and their weak self-control/morals didn't stop them.

Is this satire (username hint?)
Trump was late to the party and his show ratings sank after a few seasons.
Allen Funt of Candid Camera was the 'founder of reality TV'.
Real World. Big Brother. Survivor. The Amazing Race. American Idol. All of these premiered before The Apprentice, in addition to many others that aren’t as well known or quite like reality TV has become today, but certainly were early versions/paved the way.
Nothing of this nature is impossible. Yes, some may struggle more than others. And even if your theory somehow holds...that some/many/all just can’t help it...then why do we (as humans) ever aspire to be better?
It’s one thing to accept that it happens to people, but to fawn all over him as some evangelicals/Christians do just seems so weird and hypocritical. To give him these mulligans while scorning other similarly powerful people.....sigh.
Obama got a Mulligan for pretty much everything from the perspective MSNBC, CNN and other mouth pieces of the Democrat party. They pretty much were mute when he:
- Used a Billion dollars of Cruise Missiles resulting in civilian deaths everywhere they were used.
- When he released Terrorists that returned to kill us Service men and women.
- When he destroyed Libya, a country that never did anything to us.
- When he attempted to do the same thing the Syria, another country who never did anything to us.
- Same for Yemen
- When he had US Citizens killed without a trial
- Obama supports the FISA and extension of the Patriot acts, effectively allowing spying on US citizen with little over site.
- Lets not forget about Obama calling Ft. Hood "work place violence", when Hidal Hasan screaming "Alluh Akbar".
- And lets not forget about his wonderful Christian Minister of 20 years, the Illustrious and anti American Jeremiah Wright.
We all know that Obama isn't a fake Christian like Trump, he's a Jeremiah Wright kind of Christian
We're talking about the hypocrisy of the right wing evangelicals here. How they're the party of "values" until it's not convenient, then every freakin' value goes out the window. SMDH.

There's just never a shorthage of Trump being credited for things he didn't do.
Survivor began the summer of 2000
The Apprentice in January 2004.
