Amazon Mulls 'Apprentice' Reboot With Donald Trump Jr. as Host

Source: The Wrap

Amazon is reportedly considering a reboot of the “The Apprentice” with Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., hosting the new iteration.

The Jeff Bezos-led company appears to be doubling down on its relationship with the Trumps after buying First Lady Melania Trump’s documentary, “Melania,” as a new report from the Wall Street Journal reports that Amazon executives are in the midst of talking about an “Apprentice” reboot.

Per the outlet, discussions surrounding the potential “Apprentice” reboot are in “the early stages.” Specifically, the Wall Street Journal highlighted that Amazon hasn’t even approached the Trumps yet about the show — but the hope is that the competition series will live on Amazon Prime Video.

A spokesperson for Amazon told the outlet, “Since our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for ‘The Apprentice’ as a property.’”

Junior was a boardroom advisor and guest judge on 70+ episodes, which The Wrap is speculating is why he's being considered to host the reboot.



Bezos, can you grovel any more? What's next? A reality show where you give Trump blowjobs on your superyacht?

Bezos must have a special Trump account for capturing Trump related bribe expenses.

This will probably destroy Junior, so let's make it happen.

I’m glad I gave up TV years ago so I don’t have to see promos for this abortion. No doubt Junior thinks this would be a great stepping stone to inherit the WH. Here’s hoping it flops miserably.

Perhaps a chin implant, like his sister's, would do the trick.

Sounds like Bozo is as much of a genius business man as Trump. Seems like this idea came from the old goat himself - he really wants to see Don Jr succeed him. He has said so in response to his non endorsement of his own V-P Vance. Apprentice got him the Presidency and he thinks it will do the same for his Number One Loser spawn.

The most horrifying thing is that I had heard a while ago that, when his name was included in polls of possible GOP Presidential Candidates for 2028, Don Jr. got the most votes. I can't stop shuddering at that thought.

"Contestants, your job today is to design a product that can be sold in the gift shops at Trump Golf Courses worldwide."

The contestants toil away for hours and finally create products.

"John Jones, you have created a very good product that will sell well in our gift shops. This means you're fired, and the $50 we're going to give you as a consolation prize means you created a work for hire and we can keep it without paying you royalties."

At first the show had a couple of people that worked for the Trump organization, George and Caroline. They did a good job and viewers really liked them but the Trump kids wanted on the show so George and Caroline were replaced with them.

I have completely had it with media enabling this psychotic crime family. Mark Burnett fluffed up XC and leave it to Bozos to try and make a silk purse out of cokehead junior. ENOUGH.

At long last, I’m done with Amazon (better late than never). My money will not pay for propaganda projects in support of this fucking regime!!!

Trump's mental illness and malignant narcissism is only getting worse. Don jr will be tossed under the bus in a NY minute before he replace daddy dearest.
