Mark Burnett, " Survivor" and "The Apprentice" creator has the power to help save the human race and the planet.

He has hours and hours of video showing the true nature of one of the worst human beings on earth, Donald Trump.

He refuses to show it to anyone, he refuses to come out and tell people that this is a terrible person that you can’t vote for.

Damn him to hell.

IMO, one more video of him being grossly repugnant & hateful isn't going to change anyone's minds at this point.

He could change some minds especially if he came out and made such a statement, and he won’t just like George W. Bush won’t, may they both rot in hell.

Could put up a bounty or reward of like $10 million for whoever can get them but of course that would be illegal I guess.

And surely the last thing we want to do is break any law just because we’re trying to save the fucking human race

Are as warped as they are.

I will have to assume Jeff Probst is similarly someone who thinks like a child and that the invisible man in the sky doesn’t want Women to control their own bodies etc.

He could have said something during the 2016 GOP primary when the stakes for vengeance and retribution were not high at all, but he chose not to. The silence says it all.

But what you’re saying is there’s nothing really that much to worry about with Trump surely he won’t do anything so bad that a nuclear war could start or we could all end up dead from climate change/global warming etc., right nothing really to worry about right and there wasn’t eight years ago when people like me were saying he was a traitor and so on right goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Anyone who watches my comments here will know that I never respond to this kind of stuff but I just couldn’t help myself, dammit

And I changed my comment and added the word “help“ to make it clear that I don’t believe that his comments alone as in the truth about Trump would change enough minds to stop Trump but it could.

I will not respond beyond this.

I posted this elsewhere. But it's appropriate here as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett

At the age of 17, Burnett enlisted in the British Army. From 1978 to 1982 he served with the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment in C Company and saw action during the Falklands War and Northern Ireland. After his service, he initially planned to go to Central America and work as a soldier of fortune.

Instead, Burnett emigrated to the US to work as a nanny and chauffeur. Despite having no experience as a nanny, an affluent family in Beverly Hills hired him as a nanny/security guard. After working for a second family in Malibu doing the same nanny/security guard gig for $250 a week, Burnett was given a position in the insurance office owned by that family. Two years later, Burnett began selling T-shirts on Venice Beach for $18 each during weekends. Realizing he made more money selling T-shirts, he left the insurance job.

In 1991, Burnett and four others joined a French adventure competition, the Raid Gauloises. After that, Burnett saw a business opportunity in holding similar competitions. He purchased the format rights and brought a similar competition, Eco-Challenge, to America. Eco-Challenge launched Burnett's career as a television producer.

Donald Trump, a broken down failure of a businessman turned Hollywood star of The Apprentice turned President of the United States was essentially the creation of a British soldier turned would be soldier of fortune turned nanny turned insurance salesman turned T-shirt vendor turned television producer.

smh. Greed is a terrible thing.

Edited to add: Also, the video, if released, would reflect really badly on him as well.
