I try to avoid making posts about Donald Trump. Seemingly every day the guy says or does something that I could potentially post about, but I figure you guys don’t come to COED looking to see Donald Trump. You come to see an endless supply of 22-picture galleries of hot women and to see some funny things on the internet. In other words, to escape the constant hysteria of real-life problems like Donald Trump that you’ll find just about everywhere else these days.
But with all that said, there are days like today when I just have to take the bait and give the publicity-hungry Trump what he wants. According to RawStory citing a Vanity Fair report:
“[NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke and Trump] outlined, presumably fantastically, that Trump should run for president; and on the off chance that he won, he would continue to star in The Apprentice from within the White House,” the report cites a 2011 conversation. But Burke returned to Trump’s office admitting that he didn’t want Trump to run.
“If you don’t want me to do this, then I need you to ask me,” Trump reportedly said.
That Donald Trump would want to host The Apprentice from the White House sums up his candidacy in a nutshell. Presidential campaign season has essentially turned into America’s most popular reality show, which Trump has exploited expertly to his benefit. Trump and his supporters have no idea what governing actually entails because they view the world through a reality-show prism.
Yet if a Trump presidency does come to fruition, The Apprentice from the White house needs to happen. The Apprentice perpetuated the notion of Trump the business whiz in the public consciousness, and if he never pointed his miniature fingers at people and told them they’re fired he’d just be another fading B-list celebrity at this point.
So the electing of Trump would basically a mandate for a White House edition of his TV show. Sure, he could be doing more important things. But The Apprentice: White House edition would easily be the most entertaining reality show of all time.
There’s a bad jobs report. “Secretary of Labor, you’re fired.”
President Trump hates the Speaker of the House. “Paul Ryan, you’re fired.”
The president meets a beautiful young immigrant he wants to make his next wife; “Melania, you’re fired.”
None of you could look me in the eyes and tell me you wouldn’t watch this. If Trump somehow wins, NBC better give us a silver lining and make this show a reality.
