The Trump Administration/Reality Show Nexus

 


Back around 2017, some people accused Donald Trump of treating politics and governing like a reality show: maintain lots of drama, create internal conflicts, and do whatever it takes to make sure people are watching.

This time around, a number of Trump administration figures (or appointees, at this point) are actual reality show or game show alums:

Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary (The Real World)
Linda McMahon, Education Secretary (WWE)
Mahmet Oz, Medicare/Medicaid Admin. (two weeks on Jeopardy)
Donald Trump (The Apprentice)

I'm pretty sure I am missing some-- help me out?

Also Mehmet Oz had his own daytime talk show for several seasons. And Pete Hegseth (DoD appointee) was/is an anchor on Fox News's weekend show.
