Donald Trump Will Produce Upcoming Celebrity Apprentice

OK, Contact NBC . Comcast..Your senators, your rep ( if it is worth it) spread on social media.

That's is something everybody can do.

President-elect Donald Trump is staying on as an executive producer of NBC’s “The New Celebrity Apprentice” despite his impending responsibilities as leader of the free world, Variety reported on Thursday.


Trump’s role is rife with potential entanglements. While his paycheck will come from MGM, the program airs on NBC, a major broadcast network with an influential news division (which employs reporters Trump has personally attacked). It’s also the same network that airs “Saturday Night Live,” a show Trump has criticized on numerous occasions for its unflattering depiction of him.

How do we even begin to make any sense of it?

And how do we stop it?

1. Will still produce Celebrity Apprentice
2. Will still be running the Trump Organization
3. Won't divest any of his business interests
4. Appoints people without talent or experience to his Cabinet
5. Wants to helicopter down to his Inaugural

6. Still thinks there's time to be a 24 hour president.

After the CA news item, I'm thinking that he doesn't intend to go through with this.

Spare time? Really? Good grief. Gag me with a spoon.

How could ANYONE have voted for this moron???!!!

Every time I think of someone who I know voted for Trump, I get angry and sick to my stomach.
