Ex-Apprentice Producer: There Are Videos of Trump Making Despicable Racist, Sexist, Anti-Semitic Comments
A former producer of NBC show The Apprentice, which starred none other than Donald Trump, said Wednesday that there are videos of the now-president making a number of unfathomably despicable racist, sexist and anti-semitic comments during his time on the show.
Bill Pruitt appeared on NPRs Embedded Podcast on Wednesday to talk about the hit reality show, which Trump hosted for 14 seasons, and was asked about inappropriate comments Trump allegedly made.
When asked if the comments were just sexist, Pruitt replied No, adding they were also [very] much a racist issue.
He was then asked if they included comments about African-Americans, Jewish people, all of the above, and Pruitt replied Yes.

That page also has a transcript. Some more interesting info from that:
PRUITT: You walk in there, and you see, you know, neons falling. It was the Ta Mahal (ph) or something, you know? There was no J 'cause the neons were out, you know? (Laughter) They just hadn't had the opportunity to replace it yet. It wasn't a priority 'cause the carpets were already rotting. And it just stinked to high heaven.
MCEVERS: But that's not the way you made it look...
PRUITT: Not at all.

(32,613 posts)He knows they've got all these show tapes, and it's only a matter of time before it all leaks out.
The show runners and all the employees had to sign confidentiality agreements, and that's the only thing that has saved his butt. But the tapes exist and the the show runners have them, they're not packed away in a vault at NBC.
I read about this guy a year ago, before the election. Boy was I psyched that everything would come out REAL SOON. Nothing has come out yet but this chickenshit is still talking about the tapes. Too late buddy, the dipshit has already been sworn in. Now all we can do is impeach him.

(5,730 posts)However, if no pne gave a shit when Trump's own lips said
the worst, then, it probably won't matter. The aggressive morons love the aggressive moron. The worse he is, from our prospective, the more they love and protect him.

(14,168 posts)That IF they were released, and IF he did spew these abhorrent racist, sexist comments around on those tapes....that in 2017 we actually have doubts about whether it would make any difference to half the country?
and welcome to DU!

(1,257 posts)What is the point of bringing it up, if you do not release them to the public?
They really should offer them up, so the idiots that support him, and the misguided fools who voted for him see him for what he is.
The rest of us already know who he is, and would only have our outrage inflated beyond any level of comfort!
Not that it would change much, pretty sure his base would love it all, and possible make a loop-tape to play while they please themselves.
Hell, they would probably make a political/religious shrine to allow public play-out of the content!

What more could a dictator ask for?
Would make anyone think twice.

I understand they don't have access to the recordings now, but unless you can manage to get your hands on them it doesn't mean much. Hell, I'm not even sure it would mean mich if the tapes were out. There's already a large number of recordings of him saying vile shit.

(5,914 posts)I know he's a demented, perverted, willfully ignorant, and emotionally unbalanced con artist, just from his behavior and the comments that he makes on camera, and on Twitter, every minute of every day. I require no further proof that he is absolute scum.
I understand that anything I've ever been privy to observe about him is the absolute best that can ever be presented. And it is bad enough already!
Every day is worse than the last with Donald Trump. The only news that would ever surprise me, or even catch my interest, is if he ever did anything that was good or kind for people. And that is never going to happen.

This is all so dumb. Anything that is out there either needs to be released or everyone should just STFU.

(20,160 posts)None of them would care about the racism or anti-semitism. It might have changed the minds of some female voters but not enough to overcome RUSSIAN TAMPERING.
Anyway, this is old news, per Tom Arnold:
"When the people sent it to me, it was funny," Arnold said, explaining that hundreds of people have seen the footage that was sent around years ago as a Christmas video.
"He wasn't going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair using the N-word, using the C-word, calling his son [intellectually disabled],"Arnold said."
Arnold then went on to recount the Sunday before the election, allegedly being called by good friend Arnold Schwarzenegger's CAA agent and Hillary Clinton, asking for him to release the tapes.
But at that point, Arnold asserted that the people originally responsible for the distribution of the footage, two editors and an associate producer, were "scared to death."
"They were scared of his people. They're scared they'll never work again," said Arnold. "There's a $5-million confidentiality agreement."

My guess is that Eric is the one he called retarded.
