Better Late Than Never....

I have a lot to say about this week's installment of "The Donald Trump Show." Although some of the decisions have been really for the Donald (some candidates have literally put their own heads on a stake and handed them to the Donald to parade around the marketplace), others have confounded me deeply.

This week's episode presented a strange combination of the two.




Let's start off with the obvious.

Charmaine was basically asking Trump to can her. She refused to take any initiative to advertise the Hair-Cuttery Grand Opening Event, instead opting to unpack boxes of product. Although I hate to side with Lee on any point, he was dead right when he said that unpacking boxes was something that could and SHOULD have been something that the group did late at night. They should have used those critical afternoon and evening hours to get out there and pound the pavement, letting people know the dump would be opening.

Even at the salon, during business hours on the day of the grand opening, Charmaine and Michael stood there like a couple of wet noodles, not interracting with the few customers they did manage to coax through the doors. They could have been ushering people over to the products, encouraging them to buy, buy, buy. Instead, Charmaine got her hair did by one of the stylists...and she got so BUSTED by Bill. Lovely!



Meanwhile, Tarek got canned, presumably for being "difficult to lead." Granted, he was being obnoxious, but he was not doing anything Lee wasn't doing.

In the end, Trump fired Tarek and Charmaine.

I contend that if Trump wanted to fire two people, he should have chosen either Charmaine and Michael (for doing nothing) or Lee and Tarek (for making a joke of the task.)

I remain confused.
