Donald Trump Will Produce Upcoming Celebrity Apprentice

OK, Contact NBC . Comcast..Your senators, your rep ( if it is worth it) spread on social media.

That's is something everybody can do.

President-elect Donald Trump is staying on as an executive producer of NBC’s “The New Celebrity Apprentice” despite his impending responsibilities as leader of the free world, Variety reported on Thursday.

1. Will still produce Celebrity Apprentice
2. Will still be running the Trump Organization
3. Won't divest any of his business interests
4. Appoints people without talent or experience to his Cabinet
5. Wants to helicopter down to his Inaugural
and
6. Still thinks there's time to be a 24 hour president.

After the CA news item, I'm thinking that he doesn't intend to go through with this.

Every time I think of someone who I know voted for Trump, I get angry and sick to my stomach.
