Trump’s ‘The Apprentice’ Re-Runs Hit Amazon
A Rapprochement Between Amazon and Trump
The last few months have seen a rapprochement between Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and US President Donald Trump. This move is the latest indication of a warming of relations between the tech giant and the White House.
‘The Apprentice’ on Prime Video
Re-runs of “The Apprentice” reality show that propelled Donald Trump into the US national consciousness are now available on Prime Video. This is a significant step in the rapprochement between the two parties. The show was a huge network television hit for several years and is credited with creating the public persona that Trump leveraged to run for the White House in 2016.
‘The Apprentice’ on Prime Video: What’s New
The first season of “The Apprentice” is now available on Prime Video, with new seasons to be released every week until the seventh season, which will be released in April. Amazon has also announced that it will air a behind-the-scenes documentary about First Lady Melania Trump.
Trump’s Reaction
In a statement released by Amazon, Trump welcomed the return of the show – of which he was a producer, and therefore likely to gain revenue from re-runs. “I look forward to watching this show myself – such great memories, and so much fun, but most importantly, it was a learning experience for all of us!” he said.
Mark Burnett’s Perspective
Mark Burnett, the British-American producer considered the brains behind the format, said he hoped the show would attract a new generation of viewers, two decades after it first aired. “The Apprentice is one of the best shows that I ever produced,” he said. “The charismatic onscreen presence of President Donald J Trump made it a bona fide hit! Now, thanks to Prime Video, a whole new audience will experience a new season every Monday.”
A Look Back at ‘The Apprentice’
While Trump was already a celebrity figure in New York in the 1980s and 1990s, “The Apprentice” catapulted him to broader national fame when it launched in 2004. Producers cast the real estate mogul as an archly successful businessman, who oversaw a cut-throat competition between budding entrepreneurs. Contestants would vie for Trump’s approval, allowing them to progress to the following installment, with those who failed summarily dismissed by Trump’s now-famous catchphrase “You’re fired!”
Conclusion
The return of “The Apprentice” on Prime Video is a significant development in the rapprochement between Amazon and Trump. The show’s popularity and Trump’s charisma made it a huge hit, and it is likely to attract a new generation of viewers. With new seasons to be released every week, this is an exciting time for fans of the show.
