TV producers cobbled together footage to make 'overwhelmed' Trump 'sound sharp'
Raw StoryA producer who helped former President Donald Trump become a reality TV star back in 2008 claims he's coming clean about what he saw after helping elevate him from New York real estate developer to reality TV star. Former "Apprentice" producer Bill Pruitt, now free from an expired non-disclosure agreement, says that producers created the fiction of a prepared, coherent Donald Trump, despite the fact that at times he "could barely put a sentence together." "Now that Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats are losing the election, they are bringing up old fake stories from the past because they are desperate.” Trump previously denied he'd used the n-word on set in 2018, tweeting, “I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have.” A former Trump aide and former "Apprentice" contestant, Omarosa Manigault Newman, has also said she heard a recording of Trump using the racist epithet. Pruitt alleges that "The Apprentice," while a genuine reality competition show bound by certain laws, smoothed Trump's rough edges. Despite the editing, Pruitt acknowledged, it is easy to hear today "you will notice clearly altered dialogue from Trump in both the task delivery and the boardroom."
