I think that's what surprised people the most about Trump the first time around. Everyone was so used to the 'Mean Boss' from The Apprentice. Everyone figured he was not a fun guy to hang around with let alone work for. Yet when he met people on the street they got to know the Real Trump who is actually not a bad guy at all. . .unfortunately, and by his own admission, being a good guy in DC is not always the best type of person to be.
So maybe he'll channel some of his 'The Apprentice Mean Boss' persona onto DC this time around.
