CNN Shows How Trump Is Literally Staging the Presidency Like It's 'The Apprentice'
CNN anchor Erin Burnett narrated a mashup of President Donald Trump's Tuesday press stunt with Republican leadership and his previous hit reality show The Apprentice.
Burnett wanted to demonstrate how Trump is treating the presidency so similarly to his former TV show, it's possible to juxtapose the two scene-by-scene.
“President Trump—always the showman—an executive producer at heart, did not waste an opportunity to turn this situation into political theater, complete with empty chairs and name cards for Senator Schumer and Congresswoman Pelosi," Burnett said as the clips played.
"And if you think this looks familiar, well, yeah. On the left is the president today, and, on the right, a tight shot almost the same one of [Trump] from The Apprentice," Burnett continued. "The boardroom from today with the empty chairs. Same sort of set-up from The Apprentice."
"The only difference today was nobody was, technically, fired," she concluded.
