August 31, 2006 -- CAROLYN KEPCHER, Donald Trump's co-star on "The Apprentice," has heard him say "You're fired!" for the last time - because this time he said it to her, sources told The Post. The icy, 36-year-old blonde - who was running the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff in Westchester and helping supervise the Trump National in Bedminster, N.J. - was let go earlier this week.
"She became a prima donna," said one insider. "Being on 'The Apprentice' went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements."
Kepcher - who is married and has a son, Connor, 6, and a daughter Cassidy, 4 - had agents at ICM handling book and TV offers, and Westport Entertainment weighing speaking engagements and endorsements. She came out two years ago with a book, "Carolyn 101: Business Lessons from 'The Apprentice's' Straight Shooter."
Insiders say that when Trump tried to reach her recently, she was off on a trip to make a speech. Another time, while giving a tour of the pro shop at the Briarcliff club, she didn't seem to know the prices on any of the merchandise.
Trump has been in Los Angeles for five weeks filming the next season of "The Apprentice." His daughter, Ivanka, has replaced Carolyn as one of Trump's two on-air sidekicks, while son Don Jr. is the successor to gruff real-estate lawyer George Ross, 78.

You can make or break a Company during the hiring process. Good people solve problems, bad people create problems.
"I think you don't know much about him if this is your summary of his accomplishments."
And you are obviously on his payroll as a symbiotic sucker fish sub-contractor under the belly of the great white trump waiting for him to wreck more havoc and claim success.
What a nut.
"Right. I agree. Not to blast the children, but they've never really been in the real corporate world and they certainly have not had to work their way up (understatement)."
NIether id Donald. His Dad is the real financial wizard and he inherited a very large real estate empire. He is not a self made man by any stretch of the imagination.
Oddly enough, he just fired the one person who is a self made person, Carolyn.
I don't like Trump. He is a trivial personallity in the overall scheme of things.
He's just a jerk who was born into huge money.
