Money is the "Trump" Card

Money trumps character. That was the message "The Don" sent to the world last night on the season finale of "Celebrity Apprentice" (shameless plug for WTHR/NBC). Piers Morgan was nasty, dishonest, and impossible to work with throughout the entire season- not exactly the best attributes for attracting and keeping customers in the business world. And yet, he raised a lot of money for charity. Contrast that with Trace Atkins. He was a solid leader, full of creative ideas, respectful, and refused to play the high school games the others were engaging in. Which business philosophy did Trump reward? You guessed it. Piers raised more money. Piers wins.

"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" Matthew 16:26
