The 2020 presidential election is 361 days away as of Thursday, November 7, and Americans across the country are hoping for Donald Trump to be a one term President.

Trump is already looking to extend the most profitable business venture of his life after he can no longer command the Secret Service, White House advisers and aides, the Washington press corps, the US military and foreign governments to spend time and at his properties.


According to The Daily Beast, Trump is in talks with his old partner and secret keeper, Mark Burnett for a post-presidency reality show.

The Daily Beast reported plans involving:

"The Apprentice: White House, and to produce it shortly after the president leaves office. This time, however, the TV program would be explicitly politics-themed and take full advantage of Trump's status as a former POTUS and a newfound Republican kingmaker."

The British TV producer and current Chairman of MGM Worldwide Television Group produces a slate of reality TV fodder, including working with Donald Trump on The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice.

When Burnett was asked to release potentially damaging outtakes and behinds the scenes tapes of Trump, the producer refused. He also held former contestants to their nondisclosure agreements (NDAs).

Loyalty is paramount to the President and the man has a long lasting love for NDAs. According to White House aides, the two men speak from time to time still.

The news was met online with people offering many other titles for a post-presidency project.

Soon to join reality TV are the impeachment inquiry hearings, slated to begin next week.

The book The Apprentice: Trump, Russia and the Subversion of American Democracy is available here.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
