The fact that they did suggests that even the Murdoch faction is looking forward to 2020 and has abandoned Trump to his fate.

Pshaw!

I guess that I should eat up some of my very limited download to do what the OPer should have done: copy and paste a few (up to four) paragraphs from the link. My respect for some of the posts from
This DUer is one of the reasons why I perform this service. Normally I blow off such contentless click bait.

Well, here are the first four paragraphs, so at least the rest of DU will know whether this is click-bait or not.

NEW YORK — In his years as a reality TV boss on “The Apprentice,” Donald Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he’d like to have sex with.

The Associated Press interviewed more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who described crass behavior by Trump behind the scenes of the long-running hit show, in which aspiring capitalists were given tasks to perform as they competed for jobs working for him.

The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump’s behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct on the set.

Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka.

signed as a condition of employment aren't really enforceable. Most likely, the employees were coerced, so there really wasn't an agreement.

I'd like an attorney DUer to confirm or refute my assertions.

Lots of times employees are given access to very sensitive information that companies can't allow to be blabbed.

In this case, so long as they remain anonymous, there's not much Trump can do to reach them.

performance.

possible that those NDAs have some kind of liquidated damages provision.

Trump's pattern is to use the legal process itself, as opposed to the law, to bully people

company due to bond requirements

If you're some former Apprentice contestant who's now working in pharmaceutical sales or middle management, you probably can't afford an adequate defense lawyer and you certainly can't afford to pay a cash bond if you get a bad verdict.
