There’s more than a little irony in reports that the American television network, NBC, sacked Donald Trump from his position on The Apprentice before his recent tilt at the Republican nomination for US president. (If you didn’t know, Trump’s catchphrase on the show was “You’re fired.”)
But fans of alternative histories have cause for concern here. It’s been noted that had Adolf Hitler not been rejected by the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and had received a scholarship to pursue his first love, he would not have fallen on hard times, become embittered and spearheaded the Nazi party’s rise to power in Germany. As a result, World War II may never have happened.
Let’s hope NBC decision does not have a similar effect.
