BREAKING: The former chief marketer for NBC apologizes to the American people for giving us Donald Trump by helping to sell “The Apprentice” myth to the American people.
This is humiliating for MAGA…
“I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster,” writes John D. Miller in a piece entitled “We Created a Monster: Trump Was a TV Fantasy Invented for 'The Apprentice'” for U.S. News & World Report.
“For nearly 25 years, I led marketing at NBC and NBCUniversal,” Miller explains. “I led the team that marketed ‘The Apprentice,’ the reality show that made Donald Trump a household name outside of New York City, where he was better known for overextending his empire and appearing in celebrity gossip columns.”
He goes on to state that his team “created the narrative that Trump was a super-successful businessman who lived like royalty” which was a “substantial exaggeration” that “created a false narrative by making him seem more successful than he was.”
Miller points out that Trump had to declare bankruptcy four times before the show premiered and at least twice over the course of its 14 seasons.
“The imposing board room where he famously fired contestants was a set, because his real boardroom was too old and shabby for TV,” writers Miller.
In a section that is certain to bruise Trump’s ego, Miller states that he was the “perfect choice” for the show because “more successful CEOs were too busy to get involved in reality TV and didn’t want to hire random game show winners onto their executive teams.”
Meanwhile, Trump “had no such concerns” and “plenty of time for filming.”
“I never imagined that the picture we painted of Trump as a successful businessman would help catapult him to the White House,” writes Miller, likening all of their advertising around the show to “fake news” because it was so “highly exaggerated.”
“I discovered in my interactions with him over the years that he is manipulative, yet extraordinarily easy to manipulate,” he goes on. “He has an unfillable compliment hole. No amount is too much. Flatter him and he is compliant. World leaders, including apparently Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, have discovered that too.”
Miller calls Trump “remarkably thin-skinned” and describes his adversarial relationship with the show. The future president would claim that the show was number one in the ratings, even when the numbers refuted that claim.
Not surprisingly, Trump was full of bad suggestions for the show. He wanted to make “a team of Black players compete against white players.” Miller tried to convince him against it by appealing to Trump’s greed and telling him that it would alienate sponsors.
“While we were successful in marketing ‘The Apprentice,’ we also did irreparable harm by creating the false image of Trump as a successful leader. I deeply regret that,” writers Miller. “And I regret that it has taken me so long to go public.”
“Now America is facing a critical choice. Should this elderly, would-be emperor with no clothes, who is well known for stretching and abandoning the truth, be president again?” he asks.
“I spent 50 years successfully promoting television magic, making mountains out of molehills every day,” he continues. “But I say now to my fellow Americans, without any promotional exaggeration: If you believe that Trump will be better for you or better for the country, that is an illusion, much like ‘The Apprentice’ was.”
“Even if you are a born-and-bred Republican, as I was, I strongly urge you to vote for Kamala Harris. The country will be better off and so will you,” concludes Miller.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets crushing surprise news as four prominent ex-MAGA Republican women join forces to campaign against him in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania.
This has MAGA world fuming...
Liz Cheney and former Trump aides, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews are determined to crush him.
They'll hold a fireside chat in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, next week. A source told CNN that the four women will "offer a warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law."
They'll also stress "the need for independents, moderates, and Republicans to stop him from getting back in office."
The event will almost certainly be the first of many that the four Republicans will hold in battleground states.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as polling reveals that Kamala Harris is beating him in Michigan and Pennsylvania despite his desperate attempts to turn things around.
In Michigan, Harris leads 48% to Trump's 43% according to the poll from UMass Lowell and YouGov. Most of these voters said that they're locked in on their vote and will not be changing it before November.
A similar poll found that Harris has 48% support in Pennsylvania compared to Trump's 46%. While 4% said that they're still undecided, the majority of respondents said that they will not be changing their votes.
According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris has a 64% chance of winning Michigan and a 54% chance of winning Pennsylvania. Nationally, she has a 55% chance of winning the White House.
What this means is that Democrats have good reason to be optimistic — but we cannot take victory for granted. This will come down to mobilizing votes. We must show up to vote for Harris and convince everyone we know to do the same.
Together, we can save America from MAGA fascism!

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, 17 former staffers of Ronald Reagan have just endorsed Kamala Harris and went so far as to say Ronald Reagan himself would have supported her. This is huge.
BREAKING: Billionaire Mark Cuban destroys Donald Trump's absurd lie that Kamala Harris is a "communist," praises her and says that she is "going center 100 percent" on responsible financial policy.
And he was just getting started....
"This is Kamala Harris’s campaign. It’s not Joe Biden’s campaign, right? Kamala Harris is not Joe Biden. They’re very, very different," Cuban said CNBC.
"She’s trying to be, again, this is my perspective, she’s trying to be very respectful of the president and everything he’s proposed. She’s trying not to directly contradict him in any way," he explained.
"So she talks a little bit around the subject when it comes to taxing in particular, but she’s going center 100 percent," he continued. "I mean literally, if you read the transcript of her speech yesterday, she’s talked more about entrepreneurs and helping them have access to investment and making it easier for people to invest in startups than anybody."
He described Harris as "pro-business" and lauded the economic policies she has proposed for boosting small businesses.
Harris has proposed raising the capital gains tax to 28% for those who make $1 million a more. This would be an increase from the current 23.6%, but a more moderate one than the 44.6% previously suggested by the Biden administration.
Cuban said that he has met with her team to discuss his suggestion for the capital gains tax to help small businesses.
"I literally go through and say, the higher the capital gains, the more difficult it is to invest in riskier investment," said Cuban. And the people who have the hardest time getting risk capital are women, people of color, young kids that are coming out of colleges. Exactly the people you want to take risks on."
"The higher the cap gains rate, the harder it is to invest, for obvious reasons. And they understand that, and they’ve adapted as a result," he added.
If a billionaire like Cuban isn't buying the ludicrous lie that Kamala Harris is a "communist" then nobody should. She simply wants economic policies that benefit everyone. Meanwhile, Trump serves only the super rich and corporations.
