Donald Trump Wanted to Pit "Nine Blacks" Against "Nine Whites" For the Ratings

“On The Apprentice there was a concept, okay, thrown out by some person, nine blacks against nine whites,” said Trump. “And it would be nine blacks against nine whites, all highly educated, very smart, strong, beautiful. Do you like it? Do you like it, Robin?”

Robin, Stern’s co-host, suggested he might cause a riot—an accomplishment even Manson himself struggled to achieve. “It would be the highest-rated show in television,” Trump proclaimed.

“Very dark blacks, or light-skinned blacks?” Stern asked.

“Assortment,” Trump responded, “against whites.”

When a laughing Quivers asked how many blondes, Trump added he wanted all nine whites to be blonde.

“This was a thought that was given to us, and I don’t think NBC is thrilled with the idea, with the concept,” says Trump.

“Wouldn’t that set off a racial war?” asks Stern.

“Actually, I don’t think it would,” responded Trump. “I think it would be handled very beautifully by me. Because, as you know, I’m very diplomatic… Also, I think you’d have 35 million people a night watching.”

Regardless of how effed up it is, is the reason he is the nominee. He knew the ratings would be off the charts for that show and the media would never be able to quit talking about it each week. Just like his campaign.
