Just fired who he said was the best guy in the board room because the guy made an impulsive decision. Trump's decision to fire him was even more impulsive.

This is for ratings only and destroys a fairly decent show. They also have a lady that is the perfect sequel to Amorosa from last season. She should have easily been canned on this episode.

What are they playing for this time?

They haven't even started taking down the Chicago Sun Times building yet to start construction of the new tower that is suppose to be going up....

I heard that the new tower in Chicago is suppose to be taller than the Sears... is this true?

Originally Trump wanted it to be; however, plans changed and it'll be the 4th largest now in Chicago after the Sears Tower, the Aon Center, and the John Hancock...

He did the right thing this time. You gotta understand that the boardroom is HIGHLY edited down. They are in there for hours discussing and bickering. Not the few minutes we see. Donald wasn't impulsive at all. He had tons of time to mull it over.

Not only was the guy (I forget his name) impulsive, his impulsiveness was, as the Donald put it: "life altering". It was based on cockiness, and did nothing to further his or his teams goals.

He wasn't just stupid. He was BIG STUPID.

I don't think I would want someone like that heading up a big project of mine. Not that I have any�big�projects�
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

I really don't think he cares. He's a good businessman though. So he's got that thing going for him.

Can you spell the words "heavy editing" and "scripted"?
Mark Burnett has one script that he`s used on every show so far.
His shows are great - if you want to learn something about how to manipulate people (the viewers).
