Former TV 'Apprentices' denounce Trump White House bid

WASHINGTON | BY ALANA WISE

A group of former contestants on Donald Trump's reality television show "The Apprentice" put their old boss in the hot seat on Friday, saying the U.S. Republican front-runner has widened racial divisions and should not be president.

Trump's one-time admirers, most from racial minorities, urged the New York billionaire to tamp down his divisive rhetoric as he campaigns to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama in the Nov. 8 election.

"We are all disappointed and in some ways shocked to see what is being spewed from Donald regarding his views on women, immigrants, and the list goes on," said Randal Pinkett, winner of the 2005 fourth season of the reality television show.

"We strongly condemn Donald's campaign of sexism, xenophobia, racism, violence and hate," he said at a news conference in Manhattan. Pinkett said Trump "is not worthy of the highest office of the land," and said there had been glimpses of those attitudes in private conversations and time spent off-screen with Trump during the making of the TV show.

2. Ha to eb said he was a dick

The guy that won who is now denouncing trump, people on the show were so nice to him,
he had to leave because of a family member illness and then he came back and won.

After he won, Trumpy ask him, should he hire his fellow contestant for the other role.

This dick said "No, the show is The Apprentice not The Apprenti, there can only be one"

3. It was totally inappropriate for Trump to ask Randall about hiring Rebecca along with him.

Trump could have hired her on a different day. But he asked Randall if there should be a co-apprentice, and that's not what the show was about. Trump had never diminished a victorious candidate that way before.
