Donald Trump doesn’t wait to be fired, quits “The Apprentice”
May 19, 2007 
Donald Trump didn’t wait for NBC to cancel The Apprentice — instead he issued a statement saying he quits:
Donald Trump, whose low-rated reality show “The Apprentice” was left off the new prime-time schedule unveiled this week by NBC, says the network can’t fire him—he quits.
The real estate mogul issued a statement on Friday saying he has informed the U.S. television network he is “moving on from ‘The Apprentice’ to a major new TV venture,” though he declined to elaborate. […]
“It looks like viewers will have to wait to see what Mr. Trump plans for the future,” the statement said. “But if Mr. Trump’s past TV success is any indication of the future, then one can anticipate that millions of ‘Apprentice’ fans will be migrating to his new venture.”
Sure, his “new venture”… you know, the one that he and Mark Burnett are still trying to think of for next year? What a lame way for Trump to quit before being fired, as it were.
Its too bad The Apprentice got cancelled, although it sort of jumped the shark when they had to pull it out of New York City and put up tents in the backyard.
