The Arkanssouri Blog.: Moron? Maybe . . .

Moron? Maybe . . .

. . . but at least she hasn't tried to steal the homes of little old ladies because she wanted more limo parking.

Feud between the Marthinator and the Self-Messianic Landthief heats up.

Donald Trump is still fuming over Stewart having the nerve to blame him for sabotaging her own prime-time "Apprentice" show. Her rationale: Trump wouldn't
step aside, retire his successful show and give her the entire "Apprentice"
audience.

"What moron would think you're going to fire the guy with the No. 1 show on television?" Trump told Newsweek yesterday.


Was The Apprentice ever the number one show on television? Steve Rogers of Reality TV World, in a 10/20/05 article, says no:

Last fall's The Apprentice 2 averaged 16.14 million viewers and a 5.8 rating during its run, a significant drop from the initial Apprentice edition's 20.70 million viewers and 7.5 rating (an average that, at the time, had placed The Apprentice 1 just behind Survivor: Pearl Islands' 20.72 million average to rank 7th -- ahead of E.R. -- in the 2003-2004 season's viewership rankings.)


Seventh does not equal first, Mr. Trump. I HOPE you're having someone else do your accounting for you, because you obviously do not understand that numbers have values.

The Daily News article continues:

Stewart ignited the feud by claiming she was supposed to start her inaugural season by firing Trump, and that the real estate mogul nixed the idea.

In a letter Trump penned to Stewart Tuesday, the millionaire developer blasted her as a liar, likening her deception to the insider-trading scandal that got her prison time.


A liar? Hmmm... let's look later in the article and see what producer Mark Burnett says:

Mark Burnett, producer of both "Apprentice" shows, said firing Trump was briefly discussed after Stewart raised the idea.


So it's not the Marthinator who's the liar here, now is it? I hope you drown in your gold-plated bidet, Mr. Trump.
