But perhaps no one embodies the reality television quality of Trump himself more than his national spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, who is now literally on a reality television show herself. Pierson has appeared several times on Sisters in Law, a television show on WE tv in the vein of The Real Housewives franchise that centers around a group of African-American female lawyers in Houston, Texas. The show premiered on March 24.

Pierson's debut on Sisters in Law, which was filmed months before she joined Trump's campaign, offers some insight as to why Trump might have picked her as his spokesperson. Much like her boss, Pierson has a knack for getting under people's skin.

In her first appearance on the show, Pierson tried to attend a fundraiser hosted by a civil rights attorney named Rhonda Wills, but is quickly outed as a black Republican. Wills is shocked, leading to a lengthy argument between the two women before Pierson has even truly entered the party. "Republican? That is like, to me, a dirty word," Wilson says.

Pierson was born to a 15-year-old mother in Kansas, before becoming a political activist in Texas. After voting for Obama, she discovered the tea party and later became an active supporter of Ted Cruz during his 2012 Texas Senate bid. But when it came time for the presidential race, Pierson accepted a job with Cruz's main rival, Trump, who was eager to have a spokesperson with ties to the tea party on his team
