Conway: Trump to do "Celebrity Apprentice" in his "spare time"

[eissa]

Daffaq?!?! Is this real life? I can't wrap my head around all this lunacy!

Kellyanne Conway on Friday defended President-elect Donald Trump's decision to remain an executive producer on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" even as he takes office, arguing that "presidents have a right to do things in their spare time."

1. And Obama golfs!

Exactly how that creates a conflict of interest for one of our major news networks was not made clear, however.

10. exactly the kelly creature is queen of

false equivalencies.

2. I can't believe NBC

would even consider allowing this. The conflict of interest is so immense it's unbelievable, their entire news division should be up in arms over this arrangement.

3. Imagine if Reagan returned to his job hosting TV shows?

Even Reagan wasn't this low

7. Republicans Criticized Obama For Everything

We do not have to imagine; we just have to look at President Obama. For most of his time in office Donald Trump and many other Republicans criticized President Obama every time he stepped on a golf course. Trump even criticized President Obama's love of basketball. Remember when Trump said to President Obama, "get off the basketball court".

4. Are you kidding me?

One can't even keep up with the craziness.

5. So I called NBC corp office

Corporate Phone Number: 1-212-664-4444

Left message for CEO and president of network telling them that airing the show would be a conflict of interest for the people of the US and not to air this program if Trump is presidenting.

6. Comrade Casino is not just a Republican Draft Dodger

He's also a tax dodger and a Presidential responsibility dodger.

Freaking Republicans and their so-called "values" are dangerously delinquent from adult honesty + responsibility. America does not need this Republican assclown pretending to be Commander in Chief.

18. Ya know, the Artful Dodger name absolutely fits him..... n/t

[Stellar]

8. He's going to let Pence run the ship.

Donald Trump Planning To Just Let Mike Pence Run The Country, Apparently

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. He's going to let Pence run all policy but he'll demand credit and adoration as the leader.

And whether or not he chooses to adopt whatever policy recommendations are given to him will depend on his mood for the day and how much the person giving the recommendations manage to flatter him.

Sadly, Republicans are shameless so they'll be sure to heap plenty of praise on Trump.

9. Yet They Spent 8 Years Criticizing President Obama

For 8 years these same people criticized President Obama for playing golf and basketball in his spare time.

17. Neither recreation involved a profit making enterprise.

[treestar]

11. this is friggin' insane

Always some craziness. I wonder if he will refuse to take the oath or word it differently? He does not want this job, that much is clear.

[salin]

12. Dude - Go To the National Security Briefings.

You can't claim "free time" when you are slacking off - it's called NOT.DOING.YOUR.JOB.

[KittyWampus]

16. It's an Abrogation of Duty to which the American people have not agreed upon.

[eissa]

13. He's making a complete mockery of the office

And he hasn't even entered the White House yet. I can't even fathom what we'll be up against for the next four years.

[KittyWampus]

14. the don't have the right to engage in PROFIT MAKING ENTERPRISES.
