"He's not foolish - he saw this important detail that everyone else missed (except me or my wife) week-after-week for years."
"He's not selfish and greedy - he raised so much money for St. Jude's Hospital when Jon Rich won Celebrity Apprentice"
"They lied about everything else, why would I believe them now?"

edit: I should note that Celebrity Apprentice often featured Trump personally giving to charities as he fired certain contestants. These were presented as personal gifts, but they were not. They were given through Trump's Foundation but actually funded by NBC. A viewer wouldn't know that, they would just see Trump as a benefactor for their favourite person's charity.
Yes, I did watch the Meatloaf season of Celebrity Apprentice
