Profile: Who is Donald Trump? (Part 1… The Brand)

Americast looks back at how Donald Trump succeeded in business by creating a franchise out of his most valuable commodity: himself. Sarah hears from a former Apprentice producer, who gives us a behind the scenes insight into why Trump was picked for the TV series, and how it was integral in building his image as a successful businessman. This episode was first aired during the election campaign, as Americast profiled all the presidential and vice presidential candidates. Look out for Part 2: Trump the politician!
