'Apprentice' Contestant 'Would Boycott the Finale' If They Could

By Rob Shuter Posted May 3rd 2011 07:37PM

Over the course of a month, Donald Trump has upset a lot of celebrities with his bombastic and eager criticism of President Obama, so much so that one 'Celebrity Apprentice' cast member tells me that they would boycott the season finale show if they could.

"If it wasn't for my contract I would boycott the finale when he decides who will be hired," one cast member who asked not to be revealed tells me. "Whoever is offered the job should tell him there is no way I would ever work for him."

Trump, who has managed to offend Jerry Seinfeld, Robert De Niro and Rosie O'Donnell with his ill-conceived focus on Obama's birth certificate and schooling, can now add 'Late Show' host David Letterman to his ever-growing list. Last Thursday, Dave accused the potential GOP candidate for President of being a racist.

"My point is it's all fun, it's all circus, it's all a rodeo, until it starts to smack of racism," Dave said. "And then it's no longer fun ... I have heard enough really smart people to convince me that yes, that is very, very insulting ... How can you say things like that if you're not a racist?"

The Donald's visit to racially-tinged territory -- to be fair, he said he "always had a great relationship with the blacks" -- has my source speculating if the remaining women of color on the show will pipe up to say anything.

"What's going to be really crazy is if Star Jones or NeNe Leakes wins," the insider tells me. "Will both women of color accept his check for their charities or have the courage to stand up to the bully like Jerry, Robert and now Dave have?"

We will find out on May 15th.

Truthfully, I never followed the birth certificate issue but I never considered it to be a racist issue. I do think Trump has beat the issue beyond death. I really think reporters are keeping the race card alive and it's time they stop. We can all live together if the media stops fueling the fire.

Trump up the jam
Trump it up
While your feet are stomping
And the Trump is pumpin'
Look ahead, Obama's jumpin'
Trump it up, a little more
Get the political party on the dance floor
See 'cause that's where this douchebag's at
And you'll find out if you do that

Trump is an ignorant pig. Whether or not he's also a racist is irrelevant - he acts like one. And as they say - if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck - it's likely that it IS a duck!

By old enough to remember

Actually, Trump is going on and on like the Energizer Bunny (no offense meant to the Bunny or Energizer batteries) to win "brownie points" with the Tea Party. He probably feels that they are the ones who will be controlling the GOP during the next presidential elections.

"one cast member who asked not to be revealed"

Shuter, you're so full of it. Get off your duff and go out and find a story. Quit making things up.
And playing the race card. Really?

By Jim

How is pointing out Trump is, indeed, playing the race care playing the race card. Whites playing victim everything anyone wants rightfully to address race issues in American politics or society is getting oh so tired and old. Some would say pathetic.

By Bobbie

You hit the nail smack on the head! If the media wouldn't try to play the race card from every angle, there wouldn't be much drama. The feel it is their 'duty' to provoke, and besides... it sells.

By Bettieann

Why is it that Donald Trump is beat up for asking that the public know if Omaba was born in the US. It's a law that to be president you have to be born here. I think it was more an issue that it took Obama over 2 years to prove something that has long been a questions to many. Also, everything that is said in a political race should not be taken as racist. We can't help that the man if black - stop being so sensitive about it. Many many things are said to white candidates and terrible things said to a female that may be in the race. Get real and grown up people.. Black is black. Muslim is Muslim..

The reason people are saying hewas racist because he wasn't stopping there, he was sayimg things like he wants to also see his school records because he could not understand how he got in those schools when white pepole he knew couldn't, stuff like that

By car123

Saying Donald Trump is a racist has nothing to do with the birth certificate but the fact that he doesn't think the President could get into Harvard on his own merits. He like so many of white America thinks when a Black man goes to a prestigious school he got there just because he is Black. The President has more intelligence in his little finger than Donald Trump has in that head of his.

By Liz

It is NOT about race.....The reason that Obama is questioned is because of his policies and his pics for his staff in the White House. He has been seen as a Muslum sympathizer which makes many of us think that he is against the USA. That is why he is being questioned and frankly I still believe he is a Muslum sympathizer. He just needs higher rating right now and he will do anything to stay in power.

By HonestJohn

Hollywood "pukes" condeming someone for not sharing their left wing MORON point of view. HA, HA HA go Donald Go.

By lori

The Donald is being a jerk but if a woman of color wins you want them to take a stand and not accept a check for charity?Why make the charities suffer?And 1 more thing.All people stand up against racism not just people of color.

By dondi1956

So true! Why should the charities suffer. !! I say take the check and do what you came there for.

By Rose

Don't see how turning down money earmarked for charity amounts to having "the courage to stand up to the bully".

By Lynda C

Trump is funny. And what's even funnier is how AFRAID the left is of him...At least he isn't afraid to bring to the forefront the issues that the "journalists" refuse to. If they had done their job in 2008, the election would have gone a different way. Why can't even ONE of you ask point blank for the Pres to condemn Marxism and/or Socialism....Cus we already know the answer!!!! A new world order. Puhleeez

By mlr

You need to get the other oar in the water if you think the left is afraid of him......wow.....you need to get back on your meds.
You and one oar are circling down the river called 'de-nial' and it ain't in Egypt!

GET REAL!

The only thing we might be afraid of is what syndrome is causing that growth on his head! You must have a sub-par IQ or lack thereof to even make such a statement.

By suealiaim

how 'bout YOU denounce socialism? don't accept social security or medicare, don't drive on our socialist roads or use our socialist police or fire deparments or ambulances or hosptials ok? you go it ALL BY YOURSELF...see how that works out for you.

By lola

why should he condem it?

By PAT

YES FUNNIE HOW BO HAS TO CUT HIM DOWN IN A CROWED VERY EASY FOR HIM. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A DEBATE BETWEEN THEM. AND WHATCH THE SNUTIE LITTLE TWINK OBAMA CRY LIKE A SCHOOL GIRL WHO PEAD HER PANTS.
