Trump - President and TV Producer
« on: December 10, 2016, 11:20:25 AM »
So this is the latest whine about Trump: His name remains as "Executive Producer" on The Apprentice given that he was one of the creators. He won't have any interaction with the show.

So if people are getting upset about this as a "conflict of interest" or "running a business while President", shouldn't that also apply to say, Obama as a book author? Shouldn't his name be removed from the book he wrote, and shouldn't he be getting zero profit from book sales? How is the one different from the other (sincere question - I don't know)?

Is The Apprentice still on the air?  I thought it ended years ago.

Should Ronald Reagan's name have been removed from the credits of any movie he ever played in?

I caught an advert for it the other night.  Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the new host (which has led to snarky remarks about him running for President).

In that case, Democrats would absolutely insist he be properly credited with Bedtime for Bonzo.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
