If I couldn't live in this little 'made up' world of mine, I just don't know What I woud do. Don't know, just don't know. I'd probably be forced to actually Grow Up! And Now look at me! Look, I said! Here I am the 'producer' of a new way of life, reality show called, 'Trumps United States of America Fantasy Hour'. And before you even Ask, No, I have absolutly No, as in None, Nada, Zero Zilch, 'conflict of interest' producing This one, or Any 'reality' show. Remember, as President it is iimossible for me to have Any 'conflicts of interest' no matter what I do or say because I am Above The Law, as in, can't be touched. man, love that little law! So don't bother asking stupid questions about it because I'll just give you a stupid answer, which you'll run right out and Print, and then you'll look as stupid as you really Are. You see, I'm so great, not to mention loved more than Jesus himself, that I can do all sorts of things besides be a full time President while actually Being President. Does anyone out there in my fantasy world actually Believe that a 'president' works 'full' time running a country? Really?? Come on folks! Really!?? Watch my Lips, The answer is No! I've got more important things to do than run a country full time! I've got businesses to run, vile, murderous dictators to suck up to and praise, enemies to cozy around with, Money to make, investers to make happy, a dynasty to mold for my entitled children, people to piss off, world leaders to offent, fellow Americans to belittle and mock, Women to degrade, and wonderful thought provoking 'Tweets' to tweet. I should'a been born a Bird, then I could 'tweet' twenty-four-seven! I don't even 'need' those silly mundane 'security briefings' I'm forced to attend. You see, I already 'know' how to defeat ISIS. My BFF-FWB Putin is showing me how He does it. We 'like' each other a Lot! What a great guy, and a great 'teacher'! I already Know more about military stuff than all our generals put together. As soon as I'm officially President, ISIS is gonna fly a 'Truce' flag and give up! Give up! Crazy!
So there's the answer to the 'question' that you better not Ask. Don't make me put you on my 'retribution' list! Revenge is Sooooo sweet to dish out, yet so sour to recieve! And right now I must get back to picking just the properly 'trained' and 'qualified' people to fill my cabinet with. Gotta have the 'right' people in place so that I can be out 'producing' stuff, and making money, while my 'cabinet' runs my Other 'business' at the White House.
Bye now, and stop asking stupid questions already, you disgusting, dishonest, rumor spreading, lying, 'false news' reporters!! '

 Donald Trump Will Produce Upcoming ‘Celebrity Apprentice’

President-elect Donald Trump has a big stake in “The New Celebrity Apprentice,” according to his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks.

President-elect Donald Trump is staying on as an executive producer of NBC’s “The New Celebrity Apprentice” despite his impending responsibilities as leader of the free world, according to reports Thursday in The New York Times and Variety.
The popular program, which propelled the businessman to national prominence and paved the way for his eventual presidential win, is set to begin airing again in January with its new host, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The show went off the air during Trump’s presidential bid.
MGM, which produces the show for NBC, confirmed to Variety that Trump will still be one of the program’s executive producers, and that MGM, not NBC, will pay the president-elect’s fees. (MGM did not return a request for comment from The Huffington Post.)

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirmed the news, noting that the president-elect has a “big stake” in the program, which has licensed several international editions.
“Mr. Trump has a big stake in the show and conceived of it with Mark Burnett. Additional details regarding his business interests will be shared December 15th,” Hicks said in a statement.
Trump’s role is rife with potential entanglements. While his paycheck will come from MGM, the program airs on NBC, a major broadcast network with an influential news division (which employs reporters Trump has personally attacked). It’s also the same network that airs “Saturday Night Live,” a show Trump has criticized on numerous occasions for its unflattering depiction of him. And NBC is owned by Comcast, a corporation that was recently slapped with a hefty fine by the Federal Communications Commission ― an entity that will soon be under Trump’s control.
Many of Trump’s ventures, including his new Washington D.C. hotel and his many international investments, have come under scrutiny for massive conflicts of interest as his inauguration approaches. He’s claimed he will leave his company, but has provided no details on what that will look like.
Trump’s involvement with the “Apprentice” franchise became a source of controversy near the end of the presidential race. After The Washington Post published Trump’s 2005 boasts about sexual assault, HuffPost uncovered several offensive remarks the president-elect made during his time on the show. In October, a former “Apprentice” contestant accused Trump of assaulting her in a Beverly Hills hotel room. And several former crew members told The Associated Press that Trump frequently used sexist, lewd language while on set.
Meanwhile, producer Mark Burnett ― who repeatedly claimed he was not a Trump supporter ― fought to keep the show’s unaired archives under wraps and reportedly cracked down on staff leaks of such material. According to The New York Times, Burnett recently met with the president-elect at Trump Tower to discuss potential inauguration celebrations, including a parade up Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue.
