Trump promised personal gifts on ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’ Here’s who really paid.
Washington Post ^ | Aug 19, 2016 | David A. Fahrenthold and Alice Crites

The time had come to fire Khloé Kardashian. But first, Donald Trump had a question.

“What’s your charity?” Trump asked.

They were filming “The Celebrity Apprentice,” the reality-TV show where Trump schooled the faded and the semi-famous in the arts of advertising, salesmanship and workplace in­fighting. Most weeks, one winner got prize money for charity. One loser got fired.

...

“I’m going to give $20,000 to your charity,” Trump said, according to a transcript of that show.

He didn’t.

After the show aired in 2009, Kardashian’s charity did receive $20,000. But it wasn’t from Trump. Instead, the check came from a TV production company, the same one that paid out the show’s official prizes.

I think it's poor timing...if nothing else...on your part to bring this up within days of Trump going to La at his own expense and sent supplies and a $100K check,

It's safe to assume in his TV contract he was given money to dole out at his discretion.

Yeah, I’m stupid because I’m looking for a better counter answer than “well, that’s stupid” or “it’s the wash compost so it’s stupid” or etc.

Come on.

I'm putting it here to see what my fellow Freepers think about it.

Let me tell you something.

Donald J. Trump could take a dump on my kitchen table and I STILL would not vote for that vicious, nasty, lying, unpatriotic, muslim-sympathizing, money-grubbing, fat-assed, thick-ankled, lying, crooked Hillary.

Got it?

Wonder if the same production company handled all payments for the show. If so I wonder if the donation was subtracted from Trumps fees. Who owned the production company?

Well hell. Just asking for advice and info. Guess that won’t happen again anytime soon.

Check my posting history. I’ve not participated in the forum more than the past year. It’s been all Trump all the time.

Just asking for help to refute a stupid article.

His trip to LA has nothing to do with it.

Just wanted help countering a stupid article.

In spite of the hostile responses, there are enough good ones to get that done.

You can read Penn Jillette’s comments about TCA

http://www.salon.com/2012/11/17/penn_jillettes_secrets_of_celebrity_apprentice_donald_trump_is_a_whackjob/

Penn was quite impressive and very smart on TCA. He is the one I always think about when I say Trump holds a grudge because Trump brought back Jillette and even brought him into the the finals. So there are exceptions to the grudge rule of thought.

So in that sense, you can excoriate Trump and he may let you back in if it helps the ratings!

Perhaps adding “Barf alert” would be a good thing for vomit like this in the future. Have a nice day :)

Vote Trump 2016

The lying scum in the DNC’s liberal “media” are the lowest life form on the planet. Why aren’t they asking the Haitians about the Clintoon Crime Family Foundation?

It’s a TV show, not an accounting audit.

Grow up and get real.

Wonder if the VA Govern has personally signed the paper work restoring the Voting rights of all those Felons.

It was probably part of the show. Do you really think Oprah and Ellen personally give people stuff?

Jeez, that’s the best you got? The TV production company cut the checks?? Wow... meanwhile, Hillary was SELLING ACCESS TO US OFFICIALS FOR PERSONAL GAIN, pocketing MILLIONS selling out our country, but we are supposed to be outraged about where the check to the charities came from?

Insanity

IT’S TV PEOPLE! NOTHING YOU SEE IS REAL, NOTHING.. no matter how much they claim its “REALITY” TV.

I’m sure, though, that when Oprah told her audience “You get one, and you get one, and you get a neeeew caaaarrr!!!!” she paid for it out of her own pocket, right? I mean Pontiac didn’t foot the bill, did it?

This is serious stuff. It could bankrupt Wink Martindale and Bob Barker.

You should be. A grade-schooler would know how idiotic this line of attack is. Only a complete fool would bring it here for concern trolling like you did.

Trump was spokesman for the show! This only makes sense. More BS over NOTHING.
