Take two contrasting leaders, President George Bush, whose policies I didn't like, and President
Barack Obama, who sometimes wasn't the greatest administering the world, but both of them
are people of character and they've been true to who they are.
I can disagree with the policies or I can disagree with the way they run the government,
it doesn't mean they're not people of character.
And I think they're quite authentic.
Unfortunately a lot of times in politics with the high media intensity and the long cycle
we have, I mean right now we're in the middle of a political campaign that's running 16
months, 18 months, that's way too long.
How about six weeks like at the Brits do it.
But you do test people in that period but you get into a lot of media playing the media.
I'm not planning the media I'm just saying they play the media and it creates a lot of
attention and they say dumb things.
Today's world everything you say is going to come back to haunt you.
Everything I say on this show is like recorded for all times.
Everything I write in my new book, Discover Your True North, I've got to stand behind
for all time.
I could admit that I was wrong but you said it.
I said it.
It's with you.
So I would like to see more authentic people running for president and holding political
office, unfortunately I think a lot of authentic people, leaders have gotten turned off by
the whole process.
Donald Trump is an amazing phenomenon.
I didn't like him, especially didn't think he was authentic when he was running his companies
because it was all about him.
It was a big ego trip with Donald and it's all about charisma or even fame charisma or
trying to look good trying to attract people to you who's not about serving other people.
And then he did the Apprentice show and I didn't like the approach I got fired.
Now he's running for office.
I don't think he's ever held an office in his life, so he certainly is not credentialed
to be president of the United States.
I hate to think his finger's on the nuclear bomb.
That would worry me a whole lot.
But actually he'll say one thing and then say something totally different a few months
later.
He says whatever suits him.
And there's a lot of anger there towards different groups and he really is dividing various groups,
exact opposite of what I believe.
I believe we accept people for who they are.
If you were born outside of the United States, if you're a different gender, different color,
different sexual preference, we accept people for who they are.
It's what happens to the person inside, not attacking people kind of generically.
I think this is wrong so I'm not at all happy with the Donald Trump phenomenon.
But I admit it's attracted a lot of people and many other people are angry at the government
too so he's attracting them.
