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.
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…

People in the UFO scene do the same with their grifters.
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.
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.
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.
Cognitive dissonance does not exist for conservatives.
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.
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.
Lordy, I hope there are tapes!
Amazon owns the show now so they have the tapes if they still exist.
Billionaires stand to gain from Trump getting elected again. Don’t count on those tapes coming to light.
According to Wikipedia MGM owns the show. Even they might not own the n-word tapes.
I’d bet that Mark Burnett owns them. And, I don’t think that he’d release them.
Ugh I don’t miss that fool. He’s apparently writing fiction now…
While this was an interesting read over all, I suspect what I’ll remember most from it is the origin of the expression “a pig in a poke”.
Do not show those tapes. It’ll just empower assholes further.
There are still people that think Trump is a suave businessman that speaks his mind. Never underestimate how uninformed some people are.
If this tape got leaked, it would literally help his candidacy. The hatred, cruelty, misogyny - it’s a feature, not a bug. There was already a tape of this guy bragging about sexually assaulting women, and it didn’t make a lick of difference. I can see his rabid followers salivating at the idea of hearing him say the N word on tape.
