Where...

 A few months ago my mom and I had a discussion on when we first heard of Donald Trump.

I told her I heard about him from T.V. a long time ago. She guessed Home Alone 2. Nope, honestly I don't remember that one. She then guessed The Apprentice. Again, nope. I told her it was on Renegade. The look on her face was priceless.

Then of course I had to que up the scene. Yep, I own the entire Renegade series on DVD.

She was shocked that, not only did I know the episode, but the scene. I even quoted lines. Of the series, this scene is probably the one I remember the most.

Season One Episode One

Bobby Sixkiller to Donald "Dutch" Dixon: "Only in America, Lieutenant. Where everyday is the Wheel of Fortune. George Foreman, a black man raised in the ghetto, eats hamburgers-wins millions. Donald Trump, a white man raised in a mansion, eats caviar-loses millions. What a great country we live in, Lieutenant, where everyone gets a spin at the wheel"

I have known the truth about this guy since I was a kid sneaking to watch T.V. after bed time!

The only episode of The Apprentice I ever watched was in the season that had Lorenzo Lamas. Even he, my very first crush, couldn't get me to finish the episode, let alone a season of that show.

the first time i remember knowing about Thing One was when i was paying the bill in the dentist's office in 2016 - back when his weird hairdo was what the entire office was talking about - well, now we know better and we have to do better
