Trump Has Discussed New Reality TV Series

I wonder if this can be done from jail, and I cringe at the thought of seeing this loser even for a second once he's gone. And rethug kingmaker?

Trump Has Discussed New Reality TV Series
November 7, 2019 at 7:57 am EST By Taegan Goddard


Daily Beast: “According to three people with knowledge of the situation and another source close to Trump, Apprentice creator Mark Burnett and the president have sporadically kept in touch, mostly over the phone, since Trump won the election. The pair remain friends, these sources say, and have discussed reviving their creative partnership, pitching each other details on potential TV projects to be filmed after the Trump presidency.”

“One of the ideas kicked around by Burnett and the president was shooting a new version of the Trump-branded Apprentice, tentatively titled The Apprentice: White House, and to produce it shortly after the president leaves office. This time, however, the TV program would be explicitly politics-themed and take full advantage of Trump’s status as a former president of the United States and a newfound Republican kingmaker.”

at least not in my experience. There are a couple of exceptions, but frankly I couldn't watch much of that genre.

He leaves the oval, but continues doing nothing and still gets called Mr President and "sir" on TV. His >30% will still think he runs the country from their idiot box. Win/win.

will be burned to the ground. I guess it can appear on Russian TV and be streamed here in the US.

That argues he can’t talk to Mueller because he is too busy running the country?

He knows once he's out of the WH he'll no longer get the attention he does now. He's gonna jones so bad, I hope it's physically painful for him.

When he gets locked up, I want a complete media blackout. I swear, I will ...well, never mind, but I really never, ever want to hear from him again.

It's just today's "shiny object to talk about instead of impeachment"...

You can set your watch by the frequency Trump leaks this stuff out through "unnamed WH sources"...
