EXCERPT:

Donald Trump’s ratings-challenged Apprentice TV show has already been cancelled and brought back from the dead once. His real estate empire may not be so lucky.

The partnership behind the Trump Ocean Resort Baja, a luxury hotel-condo project in Mexico, has gone belly up, costing scores of small investors more than $32 million. Investors have been told they won’t get a penny back.

The Mexican problems couldn’t come at a worse time for Trump. ...

You guys should check out THE APPRENTICE UK— they took out pretty much everything that sucks about the American Apprentice, including Donald Trump, and made it awesome.

You can watch it on BBC or download it illegally.

Trump usually walks away from his debt. To hell with the investors.

Back in the 1980’s, I thought Trump was a Capitalist success story... now I think he is just a world class a-hole, self promoting scam artist.

i wish they went back to Apprentice for real entrepreneurs and business stars. That was way more interesting. I ended up liking Celebrity Apprentice last year because it was new and ended up being some interesting dynamics among players. This year is boring me.

Trump had a project here in Tampa that failed as well. IMO he’s a scam artist and should be fired.

Let’s see DD, how can anyone with half a brain invest in Trump, he has filed BR after BR, I think about five times. Seriously folks?

Yep, there’s a massive difference between the two shows, and I don’t mean “Trump’s boardroom looks like they borrowed the set from a 1980s soap opera and Sir Alan’s boardroom looks like a Portakabin”.

You wait till you see Baggs from this year’s Apprentice UK.

Plus, his appearance on The Apprentice: You’re Fired was a hoot.
