13. There were black and female actors on The Apprentice and he was extremely rude to them

The main thrust of that story was that Chump could never follow a normal tv script. He just made stuff up as he went along and it all ended up on the tapes. Then Mark Burnett and the other production guys had to figure out how to make it into a weekly show. They'd shoot 40 hours of tape and it was edited into a 45-minute show.

Chump would change his mind about who's going to "win" and "lose" that week, and in a moment's notice they had to threw out all the stuff they had already taped. So the out-takes are mostly just him rambling about stupid stuff that meant nothing, but there are also racist and sexist comments on there too.

If those tapes ever come to light, people will see that he was never anything but a word-salad windbag with a very short attention span. But we already know that, don't we?
