But the story's were incredulous in their reporting because the media had always built Trump up as a raconteur wealthy playboy.
Hell, in the 1990's and 2000's he was on Howard Stern's show almost daily.

He didn't have a popular t.v. show because the media didn't like him. They LOVED him.

And with good reason. He has a big personality and star quality to him.
And he uses it to great effect at his rallys. They are always entertaining and uplifting (provided you aren't watching it with total hatred of the man)
