Hmmm "spare time". Obama took HELL for using his "spare time" on the greens. He is also falsely counted as the President who did less time in the White House than on vacation. So how is this going to work? You're running a country, running your own personal business, and you're going to continue your role on your TV show. I read about the hours that go into filming "Breaking Bad, and the Walking Dead" for just one season. It was not uncommon to work 12+ hours to get it all right and ready for editing. Time doesn't take into account if the editors find more mistakes to be redone. How are you going to film your show, maintain your business, AND run a country? I left out dealing with foreign dignitaries. That might end up being Pence's job, along with being the "Shadow President" running the country. The President like anyone else should take vacations to decompress. It HAS to be done. But how are you decompressing screaming "you're fired", making deals in NY with your personal company, trying to manage the country you're in charge of, and dealing with foreign issues that aren't a surrogates job to solely make a decision on, but for you to be in house with them making them on the spot? SECSTATE is a powerful position, and it carries a lot of weight. But if the SECSTATE is basically reporting to the VP or sending emails since you're not there, how effective can he really be? Trump needs to stop trying to micromanage and manage the one thing that actually matters himself...The USA. This country and all the attitudes, backstabbing, and quirks are more than enough for anyone. Note the last three presidents. ALL had their natural color to their hair when first elected, upon the end of their second terms ALL had loads of grey. That should tell you the seriousness of the position, and the stressors of the job.

I've been fairly open with respect to the results of this election. Very similar to Obama's win...I was very hopeful for America and all our potential. So far, up until this point, Trump's decisions have been impressive and inspiring; however, I kind of raise an eyebrow as it relates to our President-Elect having any interaction with 'The Apprentice' - or any other TV show for that matter - with so much work to do. Honestly, I anticipate this falling off his radar as far more pressing issues are presented and he begins to wrap his mind around the Presidency and all its responsibilities. It's one thing to have 'The Apprentice' on his resume but yet quite another to continue with such a menial task.
