NBC ‘Talked’ Donald Trump ‘Out of Running For President,’ Says Network Chief

Donald Trump’s flirtation with a bid for the White House was ended by the network that carries his show “The Apprentice,” says NBC chief Bob Greenblatt.

At NBC’s Television Critics Association session on Sunday, Greenblatt was asked about Trump’s comments throughout the presidential race and whether the network thought about trying to rein him in.

“We live in this country where you can sort of say anything you want as long as you’re not harming people. He’s got a political belief system and we talk to him all the time, but I really don’t think that what he’s doing in his personal life is going to corrupt what’s happening on the show,” said Greenblatt.

“That said, if he sort of becomes somehow hurtful or says or does things that cross a line, I guess we would figure out what to do about that,” he further noted.

Greenblatt went on to claim that NBC had a hand in Trump not seeking the highest office in the land.

“We talked him out of running for president,” said the NBC honcho, adding jokingly, “Wasn’t that good enough?”

    Yeah, right. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Trump would have to release his financial information, at which point America would find out he’s borrowed up to his eyeballs and actually quite terrible at managing his own money. And by his own money, I mean the money he inherited from his wealthy daddy, turned into more money and then lost four times in an orgy of bankruptcy filings.

    Not too sure if he needed talking out of it, he would have been a horrible president, plus disclosure, yeah he wouldn’t have disclosed anything. He opened his mouth thinking it would help IDK him? or elect the republican we don’t want over stuffed, rich, hot bags of air [bs] in DC Boehner is enough the people will be heard! not trump

    Bullshit. Trump dropped out as soon as he had an interview with a real newsman who called him to task over needing bankruptcy protections for multiple companies he ran.

    You know damn well he was never going to run for President. Wonder how he got them to claim they stopped him.
