The task this time around was that the two teams had to sell artwork at the Moti Hassan Gallery in New York and were required to choose an artist’s work to sell. The team who made the most amount of money to win. Omarosa decided to step up and became the project manager for Empresario and as a result Piers Morgan was enthusiastic in being the project manager for Hydra.

The strategy was the same for the most part which was again to contact wealthy people to try and raise as much money as possible. There was an interesting moment where one of Piers Morgan’s contact was the famous chef Gordon Ramsey. Just like in the show Hell’s Kitchen, he seems to swear a lot. It was done in a joking way though I think.

At first it seemed like Empresario had the edge as at the actual event they were getting all the foot traffic initially since their display was closer to the entrance. However, it was apparent that Hydra was making more sales and had more contacts showing up to make purchases.

There is such a thing as losing and in this task it seems to take the meaning of being obliterated to a completely new level. In the end, Empresario sold 3/16 paintings for $7000 and Hydra sold 14/20 paintings for $164,000. It was mentioned that in total $51,300 was raised for charity when you factor in the minimum sale price for the paintings.

There wasn’t even any question as to who should be fired as Omarosa simply got clobbered on this task. The only debate was whether or not Trump should fire two people since the team did so poorly. Ultimately, Omarosa was the only one fired and Piers was definitely enthusiastic about it. This was sure an episode to remember and it was about time Omarosa got fired I thought.

It’s kind of amazing though as even in everyday life you see people who keep getting away with things and making you wonder how much longer they can run before they are caught, so to speak. As evident, they all eventually get what’s coming to them as they can only run for so long.

With a chapter title of “Revenge” it pretty much told me that this was going to be a fairly aggressive read. Trump essentially expresses that when people “screw you” getting even will make it less likely that others will try to do the same to you again.

He used examples such as helping a lady to become successful and when it came time where he needed help she looked the other way. Evidently, she lost almost everything one day and Trump took pleasure in refusing to give her things such as a good reference.

There was one story that was kind of intriguing where he mentions that he knew a famous basketball player who got robbed blindly by his agent. Afterwards, he discovered a lot of proof of some sort that would convict the person in question and Trump was adamant that he should go after him and even offered to do everything such as giving him a lawyer. However, the person didn’t want to go through with it and Trump labels people like that as a “schmuck”.

That just kind of surprises me on why a person wouldn’t take action in that case. For myself, I recognize that sometimes people do stupid things such as if there is a lot of money involved they get deceitful as they think they can get away with it. It’s like all those times where you see a good person stealing because they were tempted as the opportunity presented itself.

I usually give people the benefit of the doubt personally while throwing small signals about their actions which they know is wrong. If even after that it is clear that they made a conscious decision to not be truthful while attempting to steal from others that’s when I am personally fully willing to expose them as I think they should have to pay back and be held accountable for what they did. From what I learned, you can still be a nice person and succeed, but being naive is usually what ends up costing you at the end as a result of not taking action.
