All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.

In this remark, Trump frames women’s behavior around him as inherently flirtatious and treats that dynamic as normal and inevitable. The phrasing (“consciously or unconsciously”) suggests he interprets even ambiguous or unintended social cues as sexual interest, while “That’s to be expected” positions his own desirability and authority as the explanation. Read in the broader context of celebrity-host power dynamics on reality television, the quote can be seen as an assertion of dominance and entitlement: it collapses professional interaction into sexualized attention and implies that women’s conduct is naturally oriented toward pleasing him.
