What saved him was\u00a0<em>The Apprentice<\/em>, which earned him a boatload of money and formed the foundation of his flurry of licensing and endorsement deals over the next few years. But as revenue from the show faded, so did Trump\u2019s finances, and since 2012 he\u2019s been losing money every year. Long story short, Trump has lost money at pretty much everything he\u2019s ever done. The only exception is\u00a0<em>The Apprentice<\/em>\u00a0and the licensing money it enabled\u2014which probably owes more to reality show mogul Mark Burnett than to Trump himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parlous: very bad, dangerous, or uncertain: Relations between the two countries have been in a parlous state for some time.
