PM: Mr President, how are you?
DT: I’m good thank you, Piers.
PM: It’s been a while!
DT: It has, since you became my Champion on the Apprentice.
PM: Well that was 10 years ago.
DT: Can you believe it? It’s a long time but I appreciate all the nice things you’ve said, and every once in a while a hit, but that’s OK.
PM: I always say that you don’t mind criticism if it’s not hysterical.
DT: That’s true.
PM: You don’t mind listening to criticism, do you?
DT: That’s true. No I don’t, if it’s real. If it’s fake, I don’t like it. I mean when they give you false stories, and there’s so much of it in the media, but you’ve always been very fair. And you really are a talented guy. Look, you were on the Apprentice, and I wouldn’t say you were the most popular person in the sense of the other people liking you, but you were the smartest person and that had something to do with your victory.
