The Real Apprentice - Donald Trump

Apprentice - a person who is learning a trade from a skilled employer, having agreed to work for a fixed period at low wages. Synonyms: trainee, learner, probationer, novice, beginner, starter, cadet, tenderfoot.

Who knew that a reality show would play out in real time, with real people, running for President of the United States? Perhaps Donald Trump? But here we are, less then 100 days before a national election and the GOP somehow decided to back, support and hire an apprentice as their candidate for the highest office in the country.

Everyday Donald Trump proves that he is in fact, an apprentice, as well as all of the synonyms associated with the word. Worse yet, he proves that he is not doing well in the role. All that's missing is someone, a mentor and skilled employer, and some process to tell the candidate that in fact, he's fired. It is a cop out to say that will be done by the electorate. The GOP went through a process and ended up with Trump as their candidate but if the leadership of the party truly cares about the continuation of the GOP, they need to come up with some type of solution to stop the destruction of their own organization. It is unchartered territory but a withdrawal of the candidate may make sense.

You can renounce statements and positions but eventually this apprentice needs to be fired.
