Trump is teaming with "Apprentice" producer Burnette for "helicopter grand entrance" at Inauguration

[Miles Archer]

Trump teaming with reality show titan for a really big show.

At a breakfast fund-raiser at Manhattan’s Cipriani 42nd Street, Mr. Trump on Wednesday gave a tantalizing hint at the inaugural festivities to come for a reality TV star-turned-president: The helicopter grand entrance.

The president-elect said he was paid a visit a day earlier by Mark Burnett, the executive producer of “The Apprentice,” the reality show that helped make the president-elect a household name. Mr. Trump told the crowd that Mr. Burnett proposed reinventing the inauguration with a helicopter taking off from New York City, according to an attendee.

Mr. Burnett, who is known for producing shows like “Survivor,” “The Voice” and “Shark Tank” as well, also told Mr. Trump that he should consider a parade up Fifth Avenue.

1. I sure won't be watching his ....

Coronation Crapola, and none of my friends are watching either.

[rzemanfl]

2. Obama and Roberts should refuse to participate in such a farce. n/t

[bdamomma]

32. Obama should say he needs to pack

Not watching it at all. I just feel real sick what he is doing to our country. But I am hoping between now and Jan. something will change.

[MFM008]

3. well there goes dignity

where it usually goes with this maggot.
Burnett should be bitch slapped.

oh and I wont watch it. I will be watching any protests the next day when some of our DU friends are there
and being especially hateful for me... lol.

[FarCenter]

4. And in Washington, he could parachute from the helicopter

[elehhhhna]

5. Like the Queen parachuting into the Olympics?

https://m.

[bullwinkle428]

6. I would pay-per-view for a Fifth Avenue parade!

[KittyWampus]

25. I DARE him to try a parade in NYC.

[exboyfil]

7. Please please have John Landis of Twilight Zone the Movie fame

[Chasstev365]

31. NICE! I get your reference!

[Laffy Kat]

52. ....

Shame on you.

[deminks]

8. Tacky, but he will avoid the tomato/egg/punkin chunkin

[Drahthaardogs]

58. Yes. He is doing this to avoid the angry crowds

It is ostentatious but saves him the humiliation

[0rganism]

9. a portent of things to come

this will be the most stage-managed presidency in history, even allowing for "off the cuff" remarks from Trump.

[brucefan]

10. Here's hoping for

hurricane force winds on Jan 20th

[Ilsa]

11. Blizzard. nt

[bdamomma]

33. yes a blizzard

[MANative]

17. I can't possibly type or say aloud what I'm hoping for. n/t

[KittyWampus]

26. I have this thread of thoughts that is impossible to type on the internet...

however, Mother Nature and the Universe may help at some point.

And Hubris. At some point these idiots always over reach.

[bdamomma]

34. yea me too

[Ilsa]

39. Count me in. nt

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

56. Perhaps the Bruce Cockburn

song is what you are thinking of?

[underpants]

12. Maybe NORAD can do a tracking website like they do for Santa

God, this is going to be a tacky 4 years

[Girard442]

13. There's also this really cool thing with spotlights he could do for the Inaugural Ball.

[JHB]

30. I don't recognize the picture, but an educated guess would be...

...Nuremberg Rally?

[Travis_0004]

42. .

[wryter2000]

14. Oh fuck

I'm going to watch all my DVDs of America's Test Kitchen for about a week to make sure I don't see a minute of this shit.

[dem in texas]

15. Heil King Trump!

When Trump comes out of the helicopter, all the audience will have to raise their right arms in the air and shout "Heil Trump" or maybe fall to their knees and bow to King Trump. Remember we first had Apprentice", then "Celebrity Apprentice". The new show will be called "President Apprentice".

[yuiyoshida]

46. It would not surprise me if he declared himself

God-Emperor Trump on his first day.

[dhill926]

16. as if I needed another reason not to watch...

[11 Bravo]

18. Trump appears to be hell-bent on re-defining "gauche".

Perhaps the chopper should be decorated with unicorns sporting huge erect penises labeled "TRUMP" in gilded letters.

[bdamomma]

35. or maybe they should label the chopper

as p........grabber he is disgusting man/child. Steve Bannon said he likes satan be careful what you wish for Steve Bannon.............can't say anymore

[yallerdawg]

19. Person of the year my ass.

[Vinca]

21. OMG - every square inch of that picture is hideous. Early bordello run amok.

[Blanks]

28. Hitler was person of the year like three times...

It's not really an honor, it's just the person that was in the news the most, or something like that.

[yallerdawg]

41. He considers it an honor.

Whined like a baby when he didn't get it last year.

Well - Time got an interview! Showing the rest of the press the 'art of the deal.'

[Blanks]

57. He's a moron, but you probably knew that. eom

[bdamomma]

36. him and that freaking red tie.

I hate him.

[meow2u3]

50. Person of the year?!

More like Vermin of the Year AFAIC.

[Hekate]

54. Upscale whorehouse?

[Vinca]

20. And then do we get to vote him off the island?

[Blanks]

29. Around the fire on the stage...

That's the first thing that popped into my head.

I picture him loading up in the chopper with some type of urn with names written on scrap paper.

[Cosmocat]

22. And if BHO pulled that shit ...

Nm

[narnian60]

40. My thought exactly.

Everytime I hear Trump's name mentioned with doing something ridiculous (which is practically always), I think of President Obama and how he would be heavily ridiculed for doing something even remotely similar.

[.99center]

23. I can't wait until The White House Apprentice comes out!

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/292166-report-trump-discussed-continuing-apprentice-from-white

We have the hosts from morning joe advising Trump, and Burnette's kicking off the new White House Apprentice. I'm sure Matt and the Today show will be rewarded soon enough for there efforts in getting Trump elected. My guess is Lauer gets picked as press secretary.

[Initech]

48. Who Wants To Be A Cabinet Member?

[procon]

24. I'd like to see Trump get a curbside view of bare butt moon shots

for several blocks along the route. Preferably, they'd all be tinted orange.

[Hekate]

55. That very lkely is what he is trying to avoid by choppering in

[OregonBlue]

27. It's only because he's too old and sick to do the walk like the Obamas.

[bdamomma]

37. yea sick

what is his physical health??? we know about his mental state.

Yea he is hooking up with Burnett. Burnett who never showed those tapes of Trump being raunchy on the Apprentice.

[BlueStater]

49. He's 70 years old and obese.

I can't imagine he's capable of walking great distances.

[lpbk2713]

38. There's no business like show business.

The next four years will be a rocky ride.

[Initech]

43. Lewis Black was so right. How do you satirize that which is already satirical?

[KT2000]

44. just listened to Rise of Hitler

and flying into places was one way he impressed the population.
Mark Burnett makes a big deal out of his religion so how does he square that with his cozy friendship with someone who peddles hate and lies. Hypocrisy.

[C_U_L8R]

45. God just might sneeze at that one.

The pomposity of it all.

[trueblue2007]

47. CRASH LANDING caused by Aliens from the Planet Jupiter !!!!!!

[riversedge]

51. lordy lordy-another world wide embarassment for the US is in store!! damn!

[Hekate]

53. From the Golden Tower comes Mad King Donald, to have a golden crown bestowed on him....

Apparently he doesn't want to walk or ride among his subjects along Pennsylvania Avenue.
