2. It's a huge error to describe Trump as a television personality, he's a real estate developer

who dabbles in gaming and other dubious fields. He got his TV show because of his status as famous rich guy, his fame did not stem from that show. Many organized groups and individuals have protested Trump for decades before he ever did his TV show because he has always been a bigoted and predatory blight on any scene he enters.

This is important because his business dealings are historically corrupt and abusive of the system, often very damning. Trump is a second generation real estate predator. Calling him a television personality serves him, while the actual truth does not.

The Apprentice started in 2004. I first protested Trump in 1984. What does that tell you?
