NBC should come clean on Trump’s presidential plans, says talk-show host Lawrence O’Donnell

NBC was not responding to a challenge by talk-show host Lawrence O’Donnell to disclose whether Donald Trump will return next fall with “The Celebrity Apprentice.”

“NBC has created a monster and it is called Donald Trump,” O’Donnell said in a blistering 15-minute rant on Wednesday’s edition of his show, “The Last Word,” which airs on MSNBC, a sister network of NBC.

“NBC can no longer stand idly by, not for one more day,” he said.

If a deal is in place for another “Apprentice” season, Trump’s attention-grabbing flirtation with a presidential bid is nothing more than a publicity stunt, O’Donnell declared.

“If Donald Trump has committed to do (’Celebrity Apprentice’), he is obviously not running for president,” O’Donnell said, “and all of this, every bit of it, is as fake as Donald’s reality show.”

O’Donnell should be fired for attacking his boss. It would be very easy for me to fire the SOB if I were in charge at NBC.

Maybe he's doing this so he gets fired, then he can go back to back with Olbermann on Current TV and probably double his audience to 250 homes.

LOL! I saw that last night. O’Donnell went all postally frothing at the mouth, not only at Trump, but at all his new execurive bosses! He apparently wants to be the next Leftie freak who gets tossed out on his mental case ass, thinking ‘Current’ will match *his* PMSDNC salary too! >BoD

Buh Bye Larry, you distempered Socialist traitor bitch!

Nobody will miss your menstruating mewling.

O’Donnel’s eyes are too far apart. His Marxist momma probably went to sleep many a night with a needle hanging out her arm.

Why would NBC necessarily know whether Trump is running for President? And even if they did, it's probably subject to a non-disclosure agreement.

NBC has no duty to tell anyone anything, and they might have a contractual obligation not to talk about any plans Donald Trump might have disclosed to them. O'Donnell is just blowing hot air.

Trump should do whatever Trump wants to do while this is still a free country. Really, what difference does it make to these guys whether he announces or not? They just want to attack him and you don’t need to announce your presidential aspirations for the liberal media to try and destroy you. Pigs!!

IObne thing is for sure, if the NBC execs let O’Donnell get away with bitch slapping them all around on the air, everyone is going to see them as the bunch of cowardly jackasses that they are.
