I think it’s abundantly clear that Donald Trump would not be president had it not been for the fiction of The Apprentice. Whenever this thought bubbles into my consciousness I am stunned anew. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) May 8, 2019

And when it comes to fiction, the former CBS Evening News anchor knows what he’s talking about:

At least The Apprentice used the correct fonts. https://t.co/qxMCZ1D1En — johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) May 9, 2019

I know! Who goes on network TV, for years, just makes stuff up, then continues to insist he wasn't making it up even though it was shown to be entirely made up? Who?! https://t.co/HJLfBu40oU — Donny Ferguson ? (@DonnyFerguson) May 9, 2019
