So, Should NBC Fire The Donald?
NBC has the power to discontinue Donald Trump's association with their network by canceling "The Apprentice", and they should exercise that right as quickly as possible.
Perhaps they aren't firing him for the simple reason that this entire debacle is a publicity stunt. While he's not discussing "The Apprentice", everyone else is. He has gained free publicity on every network, and every online news agency. If it is a publicity stunt, I am calling it a failure. The Donald's credibility as a really smart guy, for me at least, is shot.
But they shouldn't fire him for his political affiliations, necessarily. They can ignore that particular issue, if they prefer, with a standard disclaimer that Donald Trump's opinions are his own and do not represent the network's position. That would easily suffice to keep a political distance.
No, they should fire Donald Trump due to serious concerns about his stability and ability to continue filming the program. Donald Trump's reality show, whether fake or not, is based upon giving people, both everyday Americans and celebrities, a chance to show him their business savvy and ultimately land a job.
Do you want a chance to work with the most brilliant business man since ... well... ever, if you believe The Donald's hype? If you do, I would suggest applying to work for someone other than Donald Trump. After all, as an employee of Donald Trump, you may be required to work for him in many capacities. When Jerry Seinfeld withdrew his agreement to appear at a charity event due to his lack of comfort with Donald Trump's recent behavior, that spot was filled by the winner of the most recent season of "Celebrity Apprentice"; Brett Michaels.
Donald Trump's inability to answer even basic questions concerning the policies of our nation proves that he is not as brilliant as the general public has been led to believe. He is the court jester of the current Republican base. For that reason alone, he is no longer qualified to lead the cast of his high-powered, board room centered TV show.
Finally, isn't one Charlie Sheen is enough in Network TV? On the up side, if NBC gets a clue and cuts Donald Trump loose, giving him more time to pursue his new political career, perhaps Mr. Sheen would make the perfect running mate.
