Donald Trump is a pompous ass (minor really, and no suspense)

The BBQ Pit

I don’t watch his show, but the Wife does, so I ingest it by osmosis. She was watching an older show, maybe from the week before, where the Kardashian girl got fired.

WTF Don-Don? She screws up, is paying the price meted out to her by the judge that heard her DUI case, so she misses on day of kissing your ass, and she gets dumped because you “hate drunk drivers”?

Ok, so do I. In my line of work, she’d never get a job at all, and that conviction alone would get her fired. But, my people drive 40 foot long tubes filled with kids, they don’t make “viral videos” or sell $1000 cookies.

Fine jerkwad, it’s your show, set the standards, etc… Over, and fucking over, you harp about people taking responsibility for their actions, redeeming themselves, right? So here’s the one chance you have to NOT be a giant ass and this is the result? Look back over the casts you’ve had on your “celebrity” show before, and tell me that little (ok, young) Kardashian’s crime is the worst thing any of those self-indulgent attention whores have ever done before they went on your show.

I’ll wait.

Still waiting.

Need help? Ok,this guy gets convicted of beating his girlfriend. But not why he was fired, huh?

Or your good friend here? You tripped all over yourself telling the world how much you admire the guy that had assaulted refs and cameramen during games and paid fines, then got arrested for spousal abuse - pled no contest, did counseling, probation and community service. All apparently without any of that nasty “remorse” and lesson learning that Khloe was silly enough to feel.

The lesson then is that while spousal abuse is cool with The Donald, and being an alcoholic is even ok, that getting caught driving drunk, and using the lesson as a wake up are not cool, right?

What a prick.

No, I take that back, pricks are at least good for something.

I wondered the same thing watching the show. Trump talked to her like she was convicted of molesting children or something. I mean, she’s a young girl who made a stupid mistake far less than most of his guests; it happens.

Although I did read somewhere that Trump is a tee-totaler, so he’s probably got the MADD attitude about the demon rum.

3

Maybe so, but for a tee-totaler he sure condones an awful lot of drinking by the contestants when they’re back in their apartments.

That’s the only episode I’ve ever seen of his show – a friend had it on when we paid an impromptu visit – and we thought the same thing. I surmised it’s in Donny’s interest to be perceived as an unpredictable heartless bastard, as part of his branding.

5

I thought his branding was a mercurial, brainless prat.

6

He’s multitalented!

7

But don’t you want to buy some of his steaks?!?!

8

Do you mean steaks sold by Trump, or steaks made from his corpse?

Never mind. It doesn’t matter. I refuse to enrich him by partaking of the former, and the latter is likely to stink of brimstone. Or maybe the louche. Of something, anyway.

He needs to keep the bigger name celebrities on as longa s he can for ratings, which is why he didn’t fire Dennis Rodman until he absolutely had to, despite Dennis doing nothing but drinking. His firing of the TLC member in that same episode made no sense, but if he would have fired PM Melissa Rivers, then her mother Joan would have walked out. Before that, he fired two past their prime comics, a figure skater and a Deal or No Deal model.

10

Speaking of which - I never thought it possible for me to despise the Rivers women more, but their time on this show has cemented them in my head forever. My new vision of my private hell consists of being locked in a room with one or both of these two.

11

Trump? A gibbering ass-monkey?

Um, yup, the sky IS still blue, rain is still wet, fire is still hot. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

12

It’s the other Kardashian girl that makes viral videos.

13

I’ve only seen two episodes of Celebrity Apprentice and I don’t even think they were from the same season, but both seemed to revolve around a project to see who had the most rich friends they could hit up to buy $20,000 trinkets for charity. Did I just see the wrong episodes or is this all of them?

14

There are two Kardashian girls? I only know about the one who…um…

okay, I don’t actually know anything about either of them, it seems.

15

One of the episodes this year had to do with the two teams having to make a video advertising some laundry soap. That’s what I meant.

16

She missed work because of it. I believe he’d fire someone for that in real life.

17

Depends. If an employer knew in advance that someone had to miss a day of work, I’d guess not, even for that particular reason. Again, my circumstances are unusual, because I employ drivers. But a personal day is a personal day, and so long as it’s approved to take the day off, they can take it.

Sure, they could get fired because their boss hates people that get DUI’s, but then I’d put that employer right in this rant too.

My fiancee is unfortunately a devotee of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. There are actually three of them, I think. The one on Celebrity Apprentice isn’t really famous at all except for getting the DUI. Kim is the “real” famous one- she’s the one from the sex tape, and she’s done Playboy and some other stuff, and is engaged to Reggie Bush. They have an older sister who’s pretty hot but not famous at all.

There are also two younger half-sisters who are Bruce Jenner’s kids, so they’re not technically Kardashians.
