Not one person is going to fight for Pence when the time comes. Even his wife wants him to disappear.

I don’t doubt that the producers said this, but this sounds like a bunch of self-serving bullshit spouted by people who want to distance themselves from him now that he’s in a position to hurt people (and is hurting people).
I don’t believe for one nanosecond that a) they thought it was a “one big joke” at the time, nor especially b) that Trump thought of it that way. He wanted the entertainment world to respect him as a savvy, successful businessman, full stop. That is the only reason he did the show, well that and the money.
It reads like revisionist horse shit and until I see a quote from a producer from that time period backing it up I’ll continue to assume it’s exactly that.

I’d be a lot more likely to forgive them if they had violated their NDA’s and leaked some of the no doubt damning footage they had from his apprentice days. But no, they decided to keep it bottled up to this day, so they can get fucked. I stopped watching Shark Tank over it.
I never watched the Apprentice. I’ve always found Trump nauseating and fake. I was absolutely in disbelief when he won the Republican nomination and I was even more shocked when he won the presidency… and then for like two weeks I thought he must be smart behind the scenes before he dashed that as well.

Let’s just say not a single one of your favorite cartoon directors from the Golden Age of animation have escaped without doing at least a couple of really offensive cartoons. Tex Avery was one of the greatest cartoon directors, and his history is horrific in addition to some of the great cartoons he did.
I think the roadrunner is probably clean, and if he wasn’t I don’t want to know about it.

Fair enough.
I guess Trump went to those sport events thinking it would be like this.
Also this blast from the past…
I forgot about Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan helping us in Normandy.

Wonderful! The booing will be delicious.
Seriously that’s NYC. You’d be able to hear the booing from a helicopter 1500 feet off the ground. They are telling 8.5M people who mostly hate him where he’s going to be and when. He’s going to get booed muuuuuch harder than he did at those sporting events lol.

I look forward to Trump’s Tweet admonishing NYC for booing the troops.
Hopefully nothing serious, and painful.
