Donald Trump’s disastrous presidency, with only eight months into his term, may spell the end of the «celebrity-politician» fad in the United States and elsewhere. Trump, whose «business empire» never amounted to more than a privately-held shell corporation linked to hundreds of limited liability corporations and foreign shell companies, is an overly-hyped reality television personality. His celebrity status was spurred by being featured in «The Apprentice» and «Celebrity Apprentice» programs. In 2016, Trump’s bombastic personality saw him cruise to victory over a lackluster array of Republican primary opponents and, ultimately, a tired and sickly Democratic presidential candidate.
