(continued)
 Omarosa blamed Troy for the breakfast failure and said that the meet and greet with Jessica, the press and her fans must go flawlessly. Heidi, who was in charge of the event, had a problem with the fact that Kwame suddenly put Troy on the event too. In an interview, Heidi said that she feels like Kwame doesn't trust her. And she said that if your boss doesn't trust you and company morale is low, then you end up saying, "Screw that." Kwame tried to reassure Heidi. He said that she is still in charge of the event and that Troy is her "co-pilot."
 At the golf course, Bill said, "I'm always doing a hundred things at once. I like to operate at a fast pace." But the others in his group saw Bill as "frenzied" and "panicked." Lesley Rey, Director of Sales and Events at Trump National Golf Club, said that Bill went in and out of the clubhouse at least 150 times during the day. She also said that it doesn't look good for Bill, as the tournament director, to be running around like he was. In an interview, Amy said, "I, right now, don't think Bill will win - and it makes me very sad."
 At the Jessica Simpson meet and greet, there was a problem, again caused by miscommunication. The number of people coming to the event had nearly doubled, but the hotel staff said they never got this information from Kwame's group. As a result, the ballroom for the meet and greet would never be able to accommodate the expected 150 people. Heidi called Kwame on the walkie-talkie and he came down to sort it out.  Kwame said that they could just split the fans into smaller groups and only allow in one group at a time. This seemed to satisfy everyone. Kwame then had to track down Omarosa to get her to escort Jessica to the meet and greet, which was running late. In an interview, Kwame said his style is not to micromanage people. Instead, he gets talented people and assigns them tasks. Then he expects everyone to get their jobs done.
 At Trump National Golf course, the golfers gathered after a day on the greens. Bill addressed the group and thanked everyone for their support of the Ike Austin Foundation, which focuses on the prevention of Diabetes. Donald thanked them all for raising a lot of money for a worthy cause. Donald then took off in his private helicopter for Atlantic City and Trump Taj Mahal.
