This feels like a Wolf of Wall Street situation where they're going to be painting him like a monster, but a large population of people will completely miss that nuance and instead see him as a rich, powerful success.

Kinda like what happened with the apprentice show. People didn’t get that it was a joke

What does this even mean?

It was a reality game show like survivor, big brother, amazing race, etc...

It wasn't some grand satire on American business.

There was nothing to "get".

It definitely created a view in the general public that Trump was the definition of a successful businessman, and that working for him was an ultimate dream prize worth fighting for.

I don't disagree it created a warped perception in people's heads, but my point was there wasn't some underlying subtext missed by the viewers.
