A Republican group opposed to Donald Trump used hidden cameras to show just how hard it would be for someone with his résumé to get a job at a local mall.

The video features a job-seeker explaining his troubled past to prospective retail employers...
"I’m currently facing 88 felonies, and have been found liable for sexual assault."
"We run a full background check," one manager tells him, adding bluntly: "It won’t go through."
He doesn’t have much luck with other would-be employers at the mall either.
If none of the shops at the mall would hire Trump why would America?

The spot will air nationally during Fox & Friends on Fox News.

Two-tiered standards.

Try to get a retail job with that resume, you are doomed.

Try to get an executive-level job, and they'll ignore that if you have a demonstrated past of increasing shareholder value (which Trump doesn't, but that's beside the point). Or if you're a talented athlete (as we've seen many times over the years). When big money is involved, a lot can be forgiven.
