...and yet, somehow, society wants to cling to the totally false, fabricated, perpetuated image of Trump as "a fabulously successful self-made billionaire businessman, a real estate tycoon.
Everyone I named...INCLUDING TRUMP...had a severe disconnect in their brains which liberated them from ANY concerns about the law, morality, decency, and whatever "glue" holds a society together.
I fed this into a Google AI search: "Has Mark Burnett ever expressed regret over creating the Trump Apprentice character?"
This is what came back:
No, Mark Burnett has never publicly expressed regret over creating the "Apprentice" version of Donald Trump. While he has actively distanced himself from Trump's political career and platform, Burnett has consistently remained silent regarding his specific role in crafting the television persona that propelled Trump into the political spotlight.
Instead of addressing regret, Burnetts public statements and actions have centered on the following areas:
Explicit Political Disavowal
During the 2016 presidential electionamid intense pressure for him to leak damaging, unaired Apprentice outtakesBurnett issued a rare public statement through his PR representative. He explicitly stated:"
I am not now and have never been a supporter of Donald Trump's candidacy. I am NOT 'Pro-Trump'... Further, my wife and I reject the hatred, division and misogyny that has been a very unfortunate part of his campaign."
Silence on His Creative Legacy
Despite condemning the rhetoric of Trumps campaign, Burnett has consistently refused to look back with regret or critically analyze how The Apprentice packaged Trump as a highly successful, commanding corporate titan. Close associates and media analysts have noted that Burnett protects the Apprentice brand fiercely, as it is a foundational pillar of his career and financial success.
