Amazon is deepening its relationship with President Trump.

Amazon Prime Video announced on Monday that multiple seasons of “The Apprentice,” the 2000s reality series that helped raise Mr. Trump’s profile on a national stage, would soon be available on the streaming service.

The show’s first season, which premiered in 2004, is available on Prime Video starting Monday. Amazon said that a new season of “The Apprentice” would be made available each week, culminating with the show’s seventh season, which will make its debut to the streaming service in late April.

Mr. Trump expressed his enthusiastic approval in a statement released by Amazon.

1. ♪ Springtime for Hitler, and Germany... ♪

Or maybe Madame Mao would be a more appropriate analogy.

2. We will not watch.

We didn't watch on cable when it aired and no without cable we won't stream it either.
No way.

6. He looks bad on the show

He's so obviously disconnected and plays favorites and simply picks the person who he likes best and not who did the task or job the best.

He looks like a game show host and not a businessman - at least that's how I remember it.

13. Yes it's a terrible show, regardless of how anyone thinks or feels about Chump

I remember when that show first started, I watched maybe 3 episodes. And I was so disgusted that I never watched another episode. That was even before they started doing the "product placements" which turned turned The Apprentice into an hour-long commercial. Who would watch this drivel NOW that it's over 15 years old?

9. Never

10. Gross.

11. More $$$ in Donnie's pocket

I misread the headline and thought it referred to the recent biopic. Now *that* I would have watched

12. Amazon won't disclose how much they're paying Trump to stream the series. Has to be millions.

Plus that series sold a lot of dimwits on the image of Trump as a successful businessman.

14. Never watched it, never will.

And I cannot understand why anyone else would watch it either.

15. I am very glad I cancelled Prime.

Good riddance.
