The Apprentice star Donald Trump was a constant lighting rod for controversy during the recent presidential campaign with his birther obsession and outrageous comments and Twitter rants against everyone from President Obama and the GOP to Rosie O’Donnell. With all that baggage, is NBC sticking with Trump and has the net asked him to tone his rhetoric down? “We live in this country where you can say anything you want as long as you are not harming other people,” NBC chief Bob Greenblatt said during the NBC TCA executive session. “He has his political belief system but I really don’t think what he’s doing in his personal life is going to corrupt what he’s doing on the show.” However, “if he becomes somehow hurtful and says or does things that cross a line, we would figure out what to do with that.” Added NBC’s head of reality Paul Telegdy, who oversees The Apprentice, “It just comes with the Donald Trump territory, he keeps a lot of publicists very very busy.” NBC already played a role in protecting America from even more Trump in the public space. “We talked him out of running for president, wasn’t’ that good enough?,” Greenblatt said.
“If he becomes somehow hurtful and says or does things that cross a line, we would figure out what to do with that.”
IF he becomes somehow hurtful? IF he crosses a line?
Is there actually a line that Donald Trump has NOT crossed?
He called Rosie O'Donnell a "slob" and suggested that the producers of "The View"s (This is when O'Donnell was still on that show) get in "her fat ugly face" and tell her she was fired.
He aggressively accused the President of not being an America citizen and has done virtually everything in his power to insult the man, his family, and the American people who voted for him.
There was even a documentary made that exposed Trump's bullying tactics and arrogance during a battle to get the land owned by a Scottish local that he needed to complete a gold course. The things he did to that poor gentleman fall under the very definition of movie villain.
So I guess I am wondering exactly WHERE this line that Donald Trump should not cross is located?
Does he have to rob a gas station and get caught after a lengthy car chase with a dead hooker in his trunk? Because every line before that one I think Donald Trump has already managed to stomp all over.
P.S. Oh and before I forget, this Bob Greenblatt guy did NOT talk "The Donald" out of running for President. The windbag NEVER had any intention of putting his name up for the nomination.
He is nothing more than a loud mouth coward, and does not have the balls to actually run for office.
Much like Sarah Palin he is nothing more than an attention whore who will say provocative things, and tease the low hanging fruit with the prospect of a presidential run, but NEVER follow through because he knows he will be humiliated.

Love that pic of Sarah when her unconventional presidential campaign was still shiny and new, before it crashed and burned when she revealed her abject stupidity in the rapt presence of the entire mainstream media. Was it PaulRevereGate that finished her off?
ReplyDeleteWell, for many people it was her sneering, gleeful, contempt during her RNC speech (just the one; she wasn't invited to the one just four years later) at the President's previous experience as a community organizer, when she said that *she* had actual responsibilities (which she neglected to mention had immediately been shoved onto a city manager because she couldn't handle them).
DeleteYou would think that the so-called party of personal responsibility would respect not only community organizers but the community members who strive to improve their lives and their entire community.
But yeah, even people who had not been following her impressive fireworks displays of stupidity noticed her drunken, brain-damaged, imbecilic lie-her-way-through-the-pop-quiz Paul Revere asininities.
He can't run for office, he wasn't born, he was hatched- and his mom glued the nest to his head!
ReplyDeleteYour "tags" sum it up!
Well, the executives are on record - lets hold them to their word!
I look at that first photo of Donald Trump and the man physically grosses me out! He has the most weird mouth! How in the hell would any woman ever even want to kiss that guy? Yuck!!
ReplyDeleteFeel the same way about Mitch McConnell - another very unattractive man. They both are physically as well as in thought, word, deed and actions!
I couldn't agree more!
DeleteAnd Newt Gingrich. Something very physically repellent. {shudder}
DeleteI've never seen that photo before.
DeleteAND I NEVER WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN, ALSO, TOO ! ! ! !
What a crock. They aren't going go boot him until he stops making them money and/or America stops watching.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe anyone still watches that show. I don't know anyone who does...
DeleteI can't even look at this man. He is perfectly disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHow does he get his mouth and face into those poses that tend to look like a monkey, W did the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI love monkeys, apes, chimps, etc. Just don't expect to see their expressions on human faces.
Palin takes advice from Trump to brand her name. Donald Trump is a pompous jackass and has been all about himself for the past decade.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Donald to the Tea Party... Palin leaves her mark.

Views of the Tea Party movement are at their lowest point ever, with voters for the first time evenly divided when asked to match the views of the average Tea Party member against those of the average member of Congress. Only eight percent (8%) now say they are members of the Tea Party, down from a high of 24% in April 2010 just after passage of the national health care law.
NBC Chief says he will do something if Donald Trump "crosses a line."
ReplyDeleteI already do something every time I see DT.
I turn the channel as fast as I can.
So do I. Can't stand the pompous ass (sorry pompous asses, don't mean to give you an even worse name)
DeleteJust to look at him turns my stomach not to mentions having to listen to his utter drivel whenever he opens his mouth.
How did he ever get to have the influence that he appears to have? I'm serious. How did he where he is? Anyone have an answer I'd love to read it.
@3:14
DeleteHe has money. And he's willing to run his mouth RE the opinions that most Republicans think but won't actually say.
So not only is he a Real True Murkan, he's useful.
As long as his show brings in the ratings and the sponsors pay, NBC will keep him on air. I like The Apprentice. He does not talk politics on it at all. He even helps raise money for gay causes.
ReplyDeleteLooks like The Donald trimmed his combover. Did he finally realize how absurd he looked?
