The Apprentice was an instant success in another way too. It elevated Donald J. Trump from sleazy New York tabloid hustler to respectable household name. In the show, he appeared to demonstrate impeccable business instincts and unparalleled wealth, even though his businesses had barely survived multiple bankruptcies and faced yet another when he was cast. By carefully misleading viewers about Trump—his wealth, his stature, his character, and his intent—the competition reality show set about an American fraud that would balloon beyond its creators’ wildest imaginations.
I should know. I was one of four producers involved in the first two seasons. During that time, I signed an expansive nondisclosure agreement that promised a fine of $5 million and even jail time if I were to ever divulge what actually happened. It expired this year.
No one involved in The Apprentice—from the production company or the network, to the cast and crew—was involved in a con with malicious intent. It was a TV show, and it was made for entertainment. I still believe that. But we played fast and loose with the facts, particularly regarding Trump, and if you were one of the 28 million who tuned in, chances are you were conned.
As Trump answers for another of his alleged deception schemes in New York and gears up to try to persuade Americans to elect him again, in part thanks to the myth we created, I can finally tell you what making Trump into what he is today looked like from my side. Most days were revealing. Some still haunt me, two decades later.

my most beloved sauce went to the vet today and was a Very Good Sauce so she got to go to the store and pick a prize. she chose this very large, very hairy pig ear. she’s very pleased with her choice!! she ate the whole thing and did not share a single bite.
#video#ponzu#3 years#she got them hell yes eyes on#she kept poking at it in the basket while we were shopping like#when do i GET it tho!!!#i tried to tempt her with a much cheaper regular pig ear but she was not to be swayed

Gotta say, I'm really loving this Enemies to Lovers pin!
Thanks so much @spnfanficpond @mrswhozeewhatsis for this little present! It matches my aesthetic lol, and even though it's not an SPN fic, it also reps Break Me Down (Soldier Boy x Reader) pretty perfectly. 🥰💚🌹
The rest of these were just icing on the cake!
(Except for the lotus incense holder lol. That one was a Marshalls find. 😜)

on tuesdays and thursdays, one of my roommates' friends eats breakfast with us, which means i'm sitting at a table of three supernatural fangirls. i was never into spn, but from what i picked up from my brother and the rest of tumblr, i know enough to know i can make the whole table squeal and giggle if i put Heat Of The Moment on the jukebox during breakfast on tuesdays

opens up your art like a delicate heart dissection and appreciates it like the amazement it is before tearing it to shreds and gobbling it up in pure appreciation
thank you very much!! man i love tumblr because where else would i get compliments like this... like you people are full of enigmas it's great... anyway have fun ripping it apart i'll bring you a napkin for when you're done :)
#also ik you said delicate but all i can think of is the time they brought a pig heart in when i was in 5th grade#and they let us put on gloves and just poke at it a bit... so i'm also imagining you doing that#ask response
