Line 14:
In [[The Seventies]], Trump inherited his real estate business from his father Fredrick (rechristening it "The Trump Organization", natch). Following a five-year apprenticeship under his dad, Donald relocated to New York City to begin his career in earnest. He went on to gather up Manhattan's most profitable properties like so many vacant ''[[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]]'' squares.
His [[The Eighties|1987]] semi-autobiographical book, ''The Art of the Deal'', sold ''extremely'' well as people began to identify him with American entrepreneurship and shrewd power brokering. It was around this time that Trump started to appear [[As Himself]] in television [[Dom Com]]s and films, including cameos in ''[[Home Alone]] 2'' and ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'', where the characters invariably treat him with a reverence usually reserved for royalty. His golden boy image took a beating in [[The Nineties]] as the result of bankruptcies, a much-publicized extramarital affair, and mounting debt (partly as a result of the 1980s recession), but he managed to bounce back. He even has his officially licensed and voiced video game.
From 2004 to 2015, Trump starred in ''[[The Apprentice (TV series)|The Apprentice]]'', his own reality TV series (created by [[Mark Burnett]], the brains behind ''[[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]]'') on [[NBC]]<ref>Some of his children (Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump) were advisers to the show until 2015.</ref>. The show consists of a selection of candidates competing against each other for an open slot in one of Trump's companies. The program was wildly successful and remains one of the highest-rated reality shows to date. He has since been replaced with [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]].
