A portrait of TV producer Mark Burnett that focuses on how his reality show The Apprentice burnished Donald Trump’s image also claims that the long-rumored tape of the President uttering a racial slur does not exist.
The New Yorker story spoke with several staffers on Trump’s former NBC show, The Apprentice. Although they claimed Trump occasionally made insensitive comments about women, he never made a racial comment during his 14-season run. The story claims The Apprentice made Trump “an icon of American success,” at least when the cameras were on.
But in more casual moments, Trump would say things that some found offensive.
“He wasn’t going around saying ‘p****, p****, p****’ all the time,’ said Katherine Walker, a producer for the show. Another, unidentified employee claimed, “He’d say, ‘How about those boobs? Wouldn’t you like to f*** her?”
The biggest reveal came from Jonathon Braun,...

Donald Trump’s freewheeling style caused headaches even before he got to the White House, as staffers on “The Apprentice” had to frequently “reverse engineer” episodes of the NBC reality series because he would “fire” contestants at random.
In a long profile on Mark Burnett and Trump in The New Yorker published on Thursday, Jonathan Braun — an editor during the first six seasons of “The Apprentice” — revealed to the magazine that Trump would often decide, on a whim, which contestant to “fire” at the end of each episode. “The Apprentice” like most reality competition shows, featured a series of weekly challenges and Trump would decide who did the worst and eliminate that person from the competition.
But Braun explained that Trump was often unprepared and would seemingly decide at random who he felt should be eliminated.

Donald Trump made lewd, sexist remarks to the female contestants and crew on The Apprentice during his years as the boss, according to a new report.
