Donald Trump

Introduction

It can be easy to forget that, in between being a business mogul and becoming U.S. President, Donald Trump played the boardroom boss on a reality TV series called The Apprentice.

Ramin Setoodeh is the editor-in-chief of the entertainment magazine Variety and the author of the bestselling book Ladies Who Punch.

In his 2024 book, Apprentice in Wonderland, Setoodeh reveals how The Apprentice took Donald Trump from a popular, no-nonsense CEO to President of the United States.

Using 20 years of interviews with Trump and others involved in The Apprentice, Setoodeh explores how his role as 'the boss' shaped his image and ultimately led him to the White House.
