For 20 Years, I Couldn’t Say What Donald Trump Did on the Set of The Apprentice. Now I Can.

Bill Pruitt, a former producer for The Apprentice whose NDA just expired after 20 years, writes in Slate that Donald Trump used the n-word during the production of the show — and there are tapes of him doing it.
In a sane world, a draft dodger saying he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured' would have been enough.
The people who vote for him know what he is, they just don't care.
I think in a sane world, after the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out we'd have never heard from him again.
I've posted this story many times.
After the 'pussy grabber' tape came out, a conservative woman went on the TV show The View to defend Donald.
One of the other panelists kept repeating the word 'pussy' over and over. The Trump defender asked her to stop using that offensive word.
A reminder that there was a candidate who got too excited and yelled in a weird way then got erased because of it. Now we have Robert "brainworm" Kennedy still on people's radar sounding like he's gargled gravel everyday since he was 12.
In a sane world, yes.
In the real world, the people who support him are the ones who identify with him, and the ones who identify with him think that sexual assault is the pinnacle of masculinity.
As god as my witness I don't know why this wasn't the end of it
Why is everyone talking about a hypothetical sane world? It's not. Maybe it never was. It's a mad mad mad mad world.
(No conscious reference to the movie, it's just a title that seems apt.)
It's been said the pain of the bamboozle is too much for most to acknowledge so they continue to double down on it. The great grifters and conmen know this and use it to their advantage.
Many think it's only the stupid and uneducated that are taken in by these scams. At times it's the tribal nature that we can get caught up in.
Often the educated are worse off as they know better and the grave injury to their egos won't allow them to announce to others they have fallen victim as it's pretty embarrassing. They take their lumps and move on with their lives if they do recognize they have fallen into these traps.
It's going to be many years before we get to the other side and then I wonder if it will be like what the Spanish referred to as the Miracle that occurred when Franco died.
After decades in power, the citizens that fought for Franco and supported him ceased to exist. When asked everyone fought against Franco in the civil war and they secretly fought against him at every level of society, government, and the military. It was miracle how he came to power and won a war with no support from anyone at any level within Spain.
If we ever get past the identity association of team Orange it will be interesting who is found to still be supporting this current day madness especially among the religious groups that support a man that displays so many of the things many of the regular members would be chastised for...
In the 1960 election Kennedy beat Richard Nixon with something like 52% of the vote.
In 1980, they polled a bunch of people who had voted in that election and somehow 99% of them had voted for Kennedy.
People in the UFO scene do the same with their grifters.
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
Attributed (but debated) to Samuel Clemens.
This! We don't need to call people out or harass them for being stupid. We just need for them to drift away from the cult. The constant publicity and chatter just feeds it.
The thing that makes this somewhat relevant is how close the election is. If those tapes exist, and you can get them to the right social media accounts, it might make 0.5 percent of his voters reconsider (and that might be sufficient).
A Trump voter quote that always live rent free in my head is "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting".
It tells you everything they need to know about them. They have a shit life, and they want to make damn sure everyone else has a shit life too.
Before Trump I could pretend I lived in a world where the great majority of people were reasonably intelligent and kind.
It's a bully mentality. I don't want to make things better for anyone, I want to make things worse for them. Literal playground bully.
Only because they have a misguided sense of revenge and want to blame the libs for their truncated life expectations when in fact they’ve been supporting and voting for the very politicians most likely to keep pushing their heads under water.
They want to hurt their opponents. They don’t care what the price is.
Donald Trump taught the worst of us that it not only is okay to be a bigoted racist, but that it is okay to be that in public.
A lot of them care, they just like that he does it. It legitimizes their own shittiness.
Every single time he opens his mouth would be enough.
No, they do care. They think the same way.
I think they care that he's relatable to them.
They relate to the hatred.
