Penn Jillette is claiming that President Donald Trump made racially insensitive remarks during his time on Celebrity Apprentice, which were captured on tapes that still exist.
Jillette, a professional magician who appeared on season 12 of the NBC reality series, confirmed to Vulture in a new interview that series creator Mark Burnett has tapes of Trump making the controversial statements.
Burnett did not respond to PEOPLEs request for comment.
Trump would say racially insensitive things that made me uncomfortable. I dont think he ever said anything in that room like African-Americans are inferior or anything about rape or grabbing women, but of those two hours every other day in a room with him, every ten minutes was fingernails on chalkboard. He would ask one cast member if hed rather have sex with this woman or that woman. He would be reading on the web about a real-estate deal hed made like hed sold his house for a certain amount and someone on some blog had said he should have gotten more, said Jillette.
Then he would turn and say that making X amount on a house makes him a good businessman, right? I would say to him, What are you talking about? You dont know who it is reporting that. Is that Forbes? He had no idea. So when it came to think about supporting him for president, I digested that information from being on the show with him and said, Absolutely not. He would be a terrible president. And because Id been around him and some people cared what I thought, I said that publicly every chance I got while also saying hes a good reality show, he continued....

What’s the over/under on either of them (especially atheist Penn) having something untoward to hide (like so many others in entertainment)?
Penn is at the other end of the IQ scale from Tom Arnold. How Arnold got any work in Hollywood tells me that it’s who you know. Both Penn and Teller live in lavish mansions in Las Vegas due to their long-running magic/comedy show. Arnold probably has room mates.
Donald Trump wasn't in the business of selling houses. Penn is the one who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Penn thought Trump would make a terrible President. Well, that was a terrible judgement Penn, you couldnt have been more wrong. Youre a storyteller who lies, a bad judge of people, but at least youre a successful illusionist.
Sad little ankle biters. They’ll just end up like bugs on a windshield.
you are 100% correct.
She taped phone conversations so why did she stop taping when she was listening to "that" recording.
Doesn’t matter, if whatever accusations can’t bring Trump to show shame, then I doubt much else would.
The tapes aren’t ready yet. They have to find the right person who can best imitate Trump’s voice. When it’s ready for release CNN, Washington Post and New York Times will take it as genuine without any effort to debunk it. Wait and see...
These two pixies claim that these tapes “exist” but a fag “magician” can’t make them appear? Not very much of a “magician” if you ask me.
Statements like “I don’t like Obama’s economic policy” or “we need welfare reform” have been called “racist comments”.
Using “racially insensitive” rather than “racist” here would mean the statements don’t even rise to the “racism level” of disagreeing with Obama on economics or spending. But it makes a good headline.
Exactly. The left screams “racist” because it’s they only game they know. This has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with panic over polls showing rising black support for Trump ahead of the midterms.
Well, Penn-is, you were wrong: He has been a GREAT President thus far!
