Why I Decided to Boycott The Apprentice
Based on the title of this post, can anyone guess the forthcoming topic?
So, I decided to boycott the sixth season (and hopefully final) of The Apprentice.
YouTube clip. You can read about it here and there.
But “why?” you ask. What inspired this act of “courage”?
And now I will blog from the heart. Rosie and Donald Grump had a public feud. Trust me; this is a blessing for TV ratings. Both for The View and The Apprentice. That’s fine. You feel the urge to drum up some buzz for your show, then go ahead and lash out at Rosie.
The Miss America stuff needs a few more press mentions; grant the party girl another chance during a press conference. Hey, whatever works for you.
What got to me was when Donald called Rosie a “loser”. Why is she a loser according to Trump? Because she failed with her TV show and magazine. Donald on the other hand has billions of dollars. Naturally, he is a winner. This is Donald Trump ideology.
Please. That is so blatantly shallow. And stupid. What is success? Maybe it’s when you’re content with yourself. Maybe it’s also you are a pleasant person. One thing is certain; success cannot be defined as “being so full of yourself to the point where the public nauseous”.
Unfortunately, in our culture, too much emphasis is put on money and pseudo aspirations of success. I think that the Donald only encourages this false sense of success.
Hence my boycott. Do I believe that this will put a dent in The Apprentice ratings? Probably not. But I felt that I had to do my part. It’s up to the public to “tune-in or not to tune-in”.

I boycott the Trumpster because he is an egomaniacal, user. YES! He is where he is today because of his daddy, all the talented people that help build, create, run, organize and prop him up like the bloated symbol he is. He’s a symbol of capitolism gone amok. Casinoes? (false gloss/entertainment to extract $$ from the working chumps, stolen themes, an invite to addictive behaviour, the very makeup of Casinoes is you LOSE! Travel to a foriegn country instead, You learn something, have fun and become enriched) luxury Apt’s? (obviously catering to the very few for status)
he doesn’t give credit where it is due, He’s Tacky! (all the guilted antiques and flambouyant materials, Mixing, marble, gold, granite)..He’s not roayalty!!…Most of the rich tone it down a bit.and if you live like Liberace, at least have a heart as large.
Trumpsters charity list reads like an afterthought! Obviously it’s purely gesture, a must, and by the meager ammounts he donates, shows what a judgemental tightwad he is!
He’s a Masogynist.he likes certain types of women, only the most beautiful, educated or not, who fawn over him like he’s the god he wishes to be.he supports industry that objectifies women, albeit in a classy way ( no porn).but airbrushed, implanted trophy girls are his thing…Look what he did to Martha Stewart!
If Trumpster ran the world, there would be sweat farms for artisans and tradespeople, building his Gawdy empire, Harems of stupid women, all vieing for recognition with primp, pose and posture, their would be no variety and anyone who wasn’t rich would be part of the slave machine…
He uses whatever Boys club charm he has, his name to snag investors..then seeks bankruptcy protection, I wonder how many lost investments with him?MANY!
He’s like an Oily tycoon.like someone who eats a high fat diet….floating shit in my eyes…full of bile and bloated pomp..and he just won’t “flush” away. UGH
