Dwight Eisenhower won the US presidency by designing the D-day landings that would help the Allied Forces win the Second World War. Donald Trump won the presidency by winning his timeslot with the TV show, The Apprentice. So says the TV critic for the New York Times, James Poniewozik. He looks at how cultural forces, 24 news channels and celebrity obsession helped propel Trump to the White House. His new book is called Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America.
