Donald Trump Will Produce Upcoming Celebrity Apprentice

[Blue Shoes]

Source: Huffington Post

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.

The popular program, which propelled the businessman to national prominence and paved the way for his eventual presidential win, is set to begin airing again in January with its new host, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The show went off the air during Trump’s presidential bid.

MGM, which produces the show for NBC, confirmed to Variety that Trump will still be one of the program’s executive producers, and that MGM, not NBC, will pay the president-elect’s fees. (MGM did not return a request for comment from The Huffington Post.)

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirmed the news, noting that the president-elect has a “big stake” in the program, which has licensed several international editions

You know what. Fuck it I don't even know what to say.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. A true President

would have no time for such bubblegum distractions

He is not giving the Presidency and the American people the
attention that is required to succeed

He is surely foolish and a clown

[Blue Shoes]

7. The "Real Americans" in the middle of the country got what they wanted. nt

[think]

2. This is insane. /nt

[WheelWalker]

10. It really is, you know.

[True_Blue]

35. Just like Trump

[The Wielding Truth]

47. Unconstitutional? It is another conflict of interest in another for profit enterprise.

[think]

48. Yep. Add it to the list...

[Raster]

3. I guess we know now why Mark Burnett made sure those other....

...tRump tapes where he verbally assaulted female contestants never saw the light of day.

[DK504]

13. Mark Burnett

isn't a citizen and doesn't care what he does to this country. He must be buddies with Murdoch.

This is getting scary.

[Botany]

4. Doesn't he have another job?

This is really insane.

[Kotya]

14. Not really.

I expect the arrangement will be that Trump lets Mike Pence be the acting president while he places himself in charge of "Making America Great Again!" This would include endless victory tours and TV shows.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

58. He can delegate that whole "president" thing ...

... Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon can handle it.

Kellyanne Conway can take over the Twitter responsibilities.

[doc03]

5. So other candidates had to quit their jobs on Fox and other networks when they

ran for president but Trump is going to be on NBC while president. We will be getting some hard hitting news from MSNBC won't we.

[Blue Shoes]

9. Maybe they'll just shoot sections of the show in the White House, just to show what a travesty this.

[rurallib]

19. comcast owns NBC and is merging with AT&T which

owns direct tv and a shitload of broadband.

See any place in there for real news to sneak in?

maybe off topic, but we look more like the old soviet union new wise every day.

[Blue Shoes]

69. The soviet union tried to push news to control people.

These people just make up random bullshit they know people will share. Which is perhaps slightly more insidious, because every single one of them can just say they were doing it for the pay check.

[Rincewind]

41. It's worse than that.

It takes several months to film, edit and otherwise produce a TV show, so if the episodes are broadcast starting in January, they had to be paying Trump during the general election campaign.

[doc03]

54. I suppose they held the checks for once he takes office then if the

president does it, it is legal. Trump is like Putin he can do anything.

[turbinetree]

6. And this says everything about the National Broadcasting Company

everything........................and ..............about Metro Golden Mayer


The presidential seal has now been officially bas***********to become and executive producer and who is a serial predator, whats next:

[.99center]

8. NBC just can't catch a break lately.

They hired that sexual assailant to host the Miss Teen USA pageant, now this...

[angrychair]

11. Seriously

So much outrage about everything he does but this should get so much more attention.
We should be talking about boycotting this show (I've proudly never watched it), NBC, its advertising, The Arnold all of it.

[mopinko]

12. the one fucking job he could have easily passed off to one of the kids,

but no.

give the job to tiffany, ffs.

[logosoco]

15. And will leave the swamp monsters in charge! nt

[DemoTex]

16. "Oh, for fuck's sake."

Bubbles

[AC_Mem]

17. I read this insanity

and think - what if Hillary or President Obama did this? Would this be a-ok with the public?

Hell no it would not. They would absolutely CRUCIFY either one of them - Congress would be screaming and setting up investigations, the news would be all over it, and the republican public would lose their collective minds.

But hey - since its him - its ok, no problem right? They just continue to push their hypnosis of 'nobody cares', like it is no big deal. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. How in the Creator's name can they look at themselves in the mirror?

Oh that's right - the soulless don't see their own reflection.

We are a freaking laughing stock of the world. Our founding fathers must be sobbing.

I sob with them,
Annette

[smirkymonkey]

18. This is such a fucking joke.

Every day, I feel more and more insane. I just feel like this cannot be reality. Like my head is going to explode or something.

[They_Live]

20. Unacceptable

Completely unacceptable conflict of interest. On multiple levels.

[elmac]

21. President Pence is really running things

and he's going to run things into the ground. Dems, don't bend, don't get along, fight them at every turn.

[YOHABLO]

56. Thing is Republicans didn't elect Pence. This was a Coup d'tat

[Fast Walker 52]

59. the country didn't really elect Pence, because they barely got to know who he is,

but Republicans in general think his hard core conservatism is just great!

After the VP debate, a lot of conservatives were saying that they wished Pence was on the top of the ticket.

[Skittles]

22. a pox on everyone who enjoyed watching that show

you found narcissistic bullies entertaining

[3catwoman3]

23. And to think that...

...Ronald Reagan was called the Teflon President.

Words fail me.

[tanyev]

24. But of course.

How come all those other losers before him never figured out that presidenting is only a part-time job?

[progressoid]

25. What in the ever loving fuck?

[Jacob Boehme]

26. And after January 20th....

..... Trump will be leading man in the “Mayberry Machiavellian Theater.”

[LisaM]

27. Sure, why not?

Everyone wants to associate the bringing back jobs president with the words, "you're fired!"

[TimeToGo]

29. Just emailed NBC

Everyone do it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. The presidency isn't enough so he has to moonlight?

[Fast Walker 52]

30. there are no rules any more... WTF kind of example does this set???

of course, there will be plenty of rules for women, and minorities

[bettyellen]

52. Yep yep and yep.

[FSogol]

31. Grifters Gotta Grift

[C_U_L8R]

32. I expect no less from garbage like Trump

NBC on the other hand... what the heck, have you no self-respect???

[Fast Walker 52]

33. Trump is just a figurehead-- Pence will do all the work, I suspect

[Retrograde]

34. Time for a 25th Amendment solution

I think "unable to perform the duties" includes "doesn't feel like doing them".

[Island Blue]

36. Holy fucking shit.

(If I had a dime for every time I said or thought that since the election, I could take the money and run away to some far off land.)

[3catwoman3]

43. While my sons were in college, "fuck" became their go to expletive.

Of late, it is mine, as well.

[truebluegreen]

37. He needs the paycheck.

I bet he's leveraged to his eyeballs and his pretzeldential salary just doesn't cut it.

[3catwoman3]

42. But, but, but...

...isn't he declining the presidential paycheck?

[truebluegreen]

64. It's chump change but good optics.

Assuming he actually, you know, does what he says he will. Remember how he "self-funded" his campaign? He didn't. And there was a story this morning about how it pushed 12 million from his campaign into his business. And of course he's charging the Secret Service sky-high rent to protect his family in NYC.

[kacekwl]

38. Come on , is this guy for real ?

Enough with this shit. If this is true the media should be pounding this story and everything else this guy is doing. This is too important to ignore anymore. The future of America and even the world depends on it. How is this happening ?, is everyone this stupid ? Even the repukes and media giants have to live here too.

[arithia]

39. anyone else remember

I think it was back in the primaries when when news surfaced that Trump floated the idea of running the show from the White House.

The highest office in our land is now the newest iteration of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

[turbinetree]

40. Time for a NATIONAL BOYCOTT of NBC of sponsors of this "show"

[bettyellen]

51. Am down for that! No NBC, or MSNBC or their show sponsors!

[turbinetree]

65. This serial predator with orange hair, and the "guy' that is going to replace

him, what do they have in common besides being fascists, racists, bigots, megalomaniacs, frauds, narcissistic, con artist, dead beats and one of them is not my president and the other one is just like Melanie, she came her illegally to work and is a illegal alien, hold on here it comes, they both cheated on there wives! Shocker


Every person that this hangs around with either abuses there wive's or girlfriend's, and or they cheat on them


And the MSNBC and NBC want to "normalize" this jerk, again time for a BOYCOTT

Let them feel the pain, seems like every five minutes they show some drug commercial for sex, go figure

[jalan48]

44. He has just shown America that like Reagan, he's simply a figurehead.

The really people running the country will be behind the scenes, a la George Sr.

[Quixote1818]

45. Makes me wonder if Michael Moore is right about him quitting being president before he gets there.nt

[Puzzler]

46. Oh for f****'s sake...

... polite words fail me. But a stream of four-letter words seem to be highly appropriate...

-Puzzler

[avebury]

49. Maybe the winner will get a job at the White House?

If I were fortunate enough to be able to travel outside of the US in the near future I would not want to admit to being from the US.

[33taw]

50. Sadly, I think Donald Trump is the apprentice.

[Grassy Knoll]

53. If Hillary Or Obama Or A Dem President Did This....

...

Hypocritical Clown Fuckers.

[YOHABLO]

55. Here is an opportunity for the Dems to say NO!! You're the F 'ing President not a Hollywood Mogul.

[DetlefK]

57. Two gropers side by side.

[Javaman]

60. because he's not going to be the actual president.

he's going to phone it in while his halfwit son in law and his daughter actually run things.

the orange jerk doesn't give a shit about anything other than himself.

this is how psychopaths work.

[titaniumsalute]

61. He's making a complete mockery out of the office

[greymattermom]

62. So is being president considered a full time government job?

and doesn't the government have rules about outside work? Isn't that why folks give speeches instead of doing an actual job?

[OldHippieChick]

63. And I wonder

why my young son is so cynical. Sigh ...

[DesertRat]

66. I have no words

[Vinca]

67. It's not a conflict of interest thing, it's a DUMBNESS thing.

They're trying to compare it to Obama's book royalties earned after his inauguration. Not. Quite. The. Same.

[Blue Idaho]

68. And I thought W reading "My Pet Goat" was AWOL...

"The Chinese have launched missles at the USA where is the President?"
"I'm sorry he's in a Do Not Disturb meeting with Mark Burnett, can I help you?"
"Unless you have the launch codes I seriously doubt it."
"Ok, have a nice day..."
