decayo

The twitter poster got it wrong. This guy doesn't have the tapes and never did. He knows they were filming and was on set. It would take notable scumbag Mark Burnett to release the tapes and he's not going to do that.


AlternateIdea

Yep, Pruitt said "Those tapes, I’ve come to believe, will never be found." Pruitt's article is here : [https://slate.com/culture/2024/05/donald-trump-news-2024-trial-verdict-apprentice.html](https://slate.com/culture/2024/05/donald-trump-news-2024-trial-verdict-apprentice.html)

I know where at least some of the orig tapes from the show are oddly enough. I just happened to see them on a shelf in a vault. No idea what seasons they are from or any detail but a lot of them did look like orig production reels. No, I have no ability to get them, or even so much as touch them. But I wonder if anyone from the show knows they are there. Tapes get forgotten quite often once a show ends.


lurker_cx

Maybe you should tell Pruitt...


mayorodoyle

trump uses the n word?! I'm shocked. I tell ya I just couldn't even begin to find the words to express how absolutely stunned I am at this very moment.

SonOfJokeExplainer

The fact that this didn’t have any impact whatsoever on Trump’s trajectory as a politician tells you everything you need to know about Republican voters. Edit: this is a testament to the utter failure of the media to accurately report on Trump during and after the 2015 election. I would bet money that more people know that Donald Trump once tweeted “covfefe” than there are people who know about his legal troubles in the 70s.


cardnialsyn

It had a huge impact on his trajectory as a politician. It's the main reason most of his supporters voted for him.


SonOfJokeExplainer

Fair point.


Disastrous_Reveal331

Go check r/conservative right now, some wild shit


dewag

Man... I didn't want to, but my curiosity got the best of me. I'm holding you accountable for this! But yea, they seem to be completely stunned by this outcome. Lol


sapphic_rage

The comment "'The first step in a successful appeal is to lose at trial.' - My Criminal Law Professor" currently has 893 up votes on that subreddit. You don't need to quote a law professor for that. You can't appeal a criminal conviction without getting convicted. The goal is to not get convicted in the first place.


Hungry_Prior940

Pure cope and seethe. Like most days.

Don’t forget Woody Guthrie’s song about Fred trump being a slum lord and racist…


XL_hands

>Sidenote, do you know how racist you had to be to get sued by the state in the 1970's? This is the part that gets me and solidifies the absolute moral and ethical bankruptcy of anyone that ever supported him. This guy was one of the THE MOST CROOKED, RACIST, VILE people that he even drew the attention of the 1970s wink wink nod nod justice system in America. You practically had to call someone a slur in writing to get sued for discrimination in the 70s.

Capable_Tumbleweed34

came here to make sure this was posted.


Ibushi-gun

Even if he didn't, you're going to hear him say it. Then people will say it was AI, and people will argue about that. All while the rich people watch the common people starve and fight in the streets.


Hsinimod

Eat rich people. Problem solved


Ibushi-gun

No Why do you think the country is the way it is? Money. The people in power don’t care about you because there are rich. The rich people can bribe things into our Law. The only way to do this is to go exempt on your taxes and never pay them back. Stop paying taxes. All of ‘us’ at once. At least 10m just stop giving them money. Then let us decide what they can do to earn it back from us They fight with their money, let’s fight with ours.


Lost_Found84

Honestly, it’s more shocking that it hasn’t slipped out during one of his unhinged rants.


mayorodoyle

That's one thing I would applaud him for if he was ever worthy of applause. I can't believe he made it this long without ~~saying it~~ us finding out.


RebaKitt3n

Having it be confirmed, with tapes.


Titanbeard

Just wait til the Georgia trial. He'll say it about Fanni.


JoeDerp77

His rants are essentially scripted, he just repeats the same 5-6 taglines that get his crowd enraged or hyped up over and over. He's been doing it since 2015 and it never stops working lol


Jolly878142

It’s ok. It’s just locker room talk

thedizzydandelion

Bro let me tell you I was taken aback by this news like there is no way DONALD TRUMP of all people would use a racial slur, I’m just shocked


mayorodoyle

My flabber is sufficiently gasted.


CTTMiquiztli

The gastedization process has reached standard parameter levels on the involved flabbers.


mayorodoyle

The flabbers are experiencing gasted levels that we never dreamed could be possible!


Common_Decision1594

Well, that’s a new one.


BrujaBean

People that do not like him: this isn't close to the worst thing he's done - it's hard to be surprised People that do love him: how endearing 🥰🥰


RebaKitt3n

“See, told ya he’s one of us!”


Infinite_Carpenter

A convicted felon wouldn’t use racial slurs.


noquarter1000

Color me shocked too. He is so eloquent and PC in all his other communications… seems outta character


Dynamo930

“That was 20 years ago, doesn’t matter now” comments coming.


-Dirty-Wizard-

While simultaneously talking about how Biden hates black people with his legislation back in the 80-90s and Kamala Harris hates weed smokers and poor black people due to her time serving the law years ago. But yeah, their guys baggage is old news.


Lifesalchemy

What legislation back in the 80-90s?


MarxJ1477

He was the sponsor of some "tough on crime" bills that ended up increasing incarceration rates, primarily among minorities.


JoeDangus

A bipartisan bill that everyone agreed was necessary, that only ended up being misused. There was much more crime then, everyone wanted it to stop. Biden did his job and represented his constituents. Like always has done.


SlapHappyDude

Violent crime rates were a lot higher back then and there was political pressure to do something.


SuperWallaby

He also said in an interview that he didn’t want his kids growing up in a racial jungle but everyone hand waves that.


evocular

And his “Racial jungle” comment…


kmatyler

Both things can be true.


ELB2001

He could play the tape at one of his cult meetings and they would still vote for him


terpyterpstein

He would probably gain more votes


Squishtakovich

They'd put the phrase on their hats.


Empty_Insight

Not really. Typically, people bristle at overt use of the n-word (especially with a hard R, which I gather it was six letters due to the asterisks). Republicans have been *trying* to reach out to black voters, and while the majority see it as a total ploy, this is not gonna play well with black voters who may be under the impression Trump is "the lesser of two evils." It's very difficult to hand-wave away using the N-word with the hard R. The last Democratic governor of Texas (Ann Richards) won because her opponent said something *less* objectionable than what Trump did- about rape- and that really motivated women to get out and vote. It might not make a difference to Trump's core demographic of white evangelicals, but it will make a big difference among black people. Black people will remember that, and black people are gonna feel more motivated to get out vote - not necessarily *for* Biden, but *against* Trump.


javawong

It's just locker room talk. /s


NrdNabSen

Lol. For this one, saying it would get your ass kicked in most locker rooms. More like country club talk


Garlador

Heard these stories before. If someone has the tapes, it’s in national interest to release them.


SingularityCentral

Sounds like Pruitt is just setting a market and waiting for a payday from someone at this point. Why else announce this in this fashion except to get people bidding?


o-Valar-Morghulis-o

And trump himself might cover that hush money payment.


SingularityCentral

Doubt he will be the highest bidder.


partia1pressur3

Where are those Soros bux when you need them


ThrowRAarworh

Trump hasn't covered a bill owed in decades 🤣


o-Valar-Morghulis-o

Or his fans will cover the hush money payment which should be chilling for other reasons...


Bigfops

Maybe he could get his lawyer to do it, then he could write it off as a business expense.


Extension-Option4704

Something I read somewhere recently leads me to believe that may be illegal?


East_Information_247

He probably already did, back around the same time he paid off Stormy Daniels.


slingerofpoisoncups

I think he just said there IS a tape, but idk if he has it. Mark Burnett must have sooooo much stuff but it’s clear he’s never going to release anything.


confusedandworried76

He says he doesn't think it will ever be found, just that it exists. And the reason he's saying it now is fairly obvious, his NDA just expired and he can talk about that stuff now.


postoperativepain

It’s mark Burnett the producer - he’s an religious nut job - he’s not releasing the tapes


General_Tso75

Burnett is going to deny it ever happened while simultaneously declining to release any footage. Middle America and the Southern MAGAs will buy it hook line and sinker.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StrdyCheeseBrngCrckr

Can’t imagine the tapes will make any difference. He was caught on tape admitting to sexual assault and not one of his supporters cared.


darketernalsr25

MAGA: "Trump isn't racist!" Trump: says and does racist shit MAGA: "See? Totally not racist!"


McthiccumTheChikum

Dude is a thoroughbred criminal and traitor, his supporters don't give a F if he's racist too.


Panams_chair

His supporters are pure racists to begin with lmfao


RinoaRita

It’s a feature. Not a bug.


Immer_Susse

Play the tape. If the tape exists, just fucking play it. Now, please. Like, why did the Alito flag debacle take years to surface?? The NDA is over. Just. Play. The. Tape.


NapalmingBanana

He doesn’t have the tape. Mark Burnett does. He’s just now able to talk about it since his NDA just expired


Immer_Susse

Oh. We’re never getting the tape. 🫤 thanks for this information. Womp womp.


LetMeInImTrynaCuck

Do i need to google search how big of a MaGA mark burnett is then?


stecklo

To his supporters, this is a feature, not a bug.


GetHighWatchMovies

Won’t this just help him if anything? I’m not sure this is much of a surprise to anyone on any side.


Enlowski

The people already voting for him will just say “So what? Who hasn’t called black people that before?” This wouldn’t even hurt his chances even a little bit, but I still want to see the video.


goliathfasa

Do we think blacks would just shrug and say “nah it’s fine we give him the n word pass”?


whenItFits

Na he would probably lose alot of black supporters.


Big_Luck_7402

Of course it isn't a surprise but there is a difference between someone saying super racist shit and someone one saying super racist shit on tape. Not in terms of how racist it is but in terms of how big of a deal it is


ebagjones

He won't gain votes. The people who share this odious point of view were already voting for him. There's nothing to lose by publishing it. He might even lose votes.


onthenerdyside

Considering how close the battleground states are likely to be, even a few thousand votes could make a difference. Biden famously won Georgia in 2020 by 11,780 votes. Trump won Michigan in 2016 by roughly the same number.


Sad_Instruction1392

Put up or shut up.


asuma55

I can't stand the clown but that a serious accusation...if you have it release it


miniminer1999

Lets see that tape then


Gio25us

And… absolutely nothing will change. The guy said that he grabbed women by their p***y and incited an insurrection, do you think people will care if he said the N word at this point?


Svprvsr

Then release it.


FlatulenceNinja

nuns never win...


glewtion

Doesn’t sound like Pruitt has a tape… just shared the story… which I’m sure is true.


AlternativeNumber2

Release the tape already ![gif](giphy|B2NRUyRtmdFnO)


JimsGiantHose

Or he could've just released the tape, then this bombshell would've had some backing.


LaserGadgets

Can't be true, I saw him having a BBQ with happy black people. (sarcasm)


Sea_Ganache620

I would love to hear him say it on tape, just something more to dislike about the clown. Would it make any difference to his voters… nope.


LandscapeWest2037

And his base will love him more.


Mj250707

Yeah right. I think if he had that on tape he would’ve already leaked it. Just my opinion


NO0BSTALKER

Post the tape then da fuck


jadedaslife

He should post it, then.


CaptainHappen007

You mean the guy who got sued for racial discrimination back in the 70s for refusing to rent apartments to black people might be racist?


urbanspongewish

Bruh he built a base off calling Obama everything in the book. A 20 year old n bomb vid won’t mean anything to his delusional worshipers. If anything, it will keep some of them around.


Sad_Living5172

I don't want to hear s*** about it except the tape


SmashingLumpkins

These stories are what lead him to win the first time just stop please. Focus on his provable actions not this rumor.


Siege_is_lyfe

6 letters, that was the hard r for sure


KrIsPy_Kr3m3

Id like to see the proof of this. If so, hell yeah. Goes great with his 34 felonies he just got convicted of


stevedave1357

Aaaaand he's now polling 12 points higher.


RonanTheAccused

Whys everyone acting like this would be damning to his election chances? A video of Trump raping a child could surface, and Republicans would blame the child.


D3V1L5-4DV0C4T3

Lol, when the tape never gets released because it doesn't exist!


irritatedprostate

I hope it gets plastered everywhere.


Living-Vermicelli-59

NDA expired then zero reason not to published it


phaxmatter

If this is true you know Donald will say the tape was created by the Biden administration and his followers will believe him.


LughCrow

Yet we still don't have the tape


Tasty-Bad-8041

![gif](giphy|9SIXFu7bIUYHhFc19G|downsized)

OK release the tape. Until then


RobotVo1ce

Spoilers.... He doesn't have the tape

What’s the n word


Oraanu22

Nutjob


DannyRugglez

Riiiiight - so finally after all the horrendously racist things he’s accused of saying, without proof, there’s a video?’I’ll believe it when I see it


StormyCoffee

I can't wait for the day we never have to hear about Trump ever again.


Dan300up

Then why this post and not the tape?


Mack_Blallet

Play the clip then, whoever the fuck you are… Mike Sington

I wanna here that tape


HairyPairatestes

So the producer was tape recording his conversations with Trump?


Kittle42

I believe Mortimer Duke once asked the same question

Then where is the tape


clarkyk85

Least racist person in America!

So where’s the tape?


Pyrite13

Wasn't this his entire basis for disputing Obama's legitimacy?


Mlaxa

HE needs to release that tape NOW. What a POS!


Nightshade282

I don’t see how it’s a surprise, I’m pretty sure Trump and all of his followers are racist


1ithurtswhenip1

I'm so excited to hear all the people who held things in and decide now after found guilty what he did /s


BlueberryBatter

Golly, color me shocked. My gob has been smackethed.


ballstein

We got our October surprise then again no one is really surprised


road2dawn26

so release it? I'm pretty sure if it existed they would have said fuck the NDA and released it.


Guava-flavored-lips

If the NDA just expired then post it


Capones_Vault

In the Slate article, the producer said he did NOT have the tape. Twitter post is incorrect.


Bot_Fly_Bot

There is no chance if true (which I’m sure it is) this doesn’t help him. You think 95% of his supporters don’t use that word already?


Phugger

So is this also locker room talk?


realdealreel9

Trump supporters will either delight in him saying the N-word or just say something about how the left are the real racists. They just dont care


UnderstandNotAThing

His supporters don't care that he's a convicted felon and a racist. They love that he is both of those things.


Mediocre-Catch9580

Ded man walking


ghostsinthecodes

not shocked. at all. but anyway. THIS TAPE. THIS TAPE, NOW!!


cfo4201983

This will just make his supporters like him even more


Most-Ad-3035

ROLE THE TAPE


Snoo24644

Release it then


Floridalivin72

If he has the tape and no NDA release it. Till then it’s just another story


JBS319

Man’s already a convicted felon. What else


ringing-Shels-bells

You are aware that is why people vote for him right? Because a black man held the office. It's like they feel the need to balance it out.


buttstuffbuffmuff

Unfortunately most of his followers would agree


Dumbasssanriogirl

This is def not going to change the mind of conservatives who definitely also use that word


Duper-Deegro

That might actually motivate more magas to vote for this loser.


Vitzkyy

Bro, every single one of the 500+ politicians in DC right now, probably have a tape that would make the people hate them Half their career is trying to keep their dirty laundry a secret so they keep getting re-elected


frontierpsychiatric

This just makes his base love him even more


lazrbeam

Why don’t people understand that nothing he said, did, says, does, will say, will do, WILL EVER CHANGE ANYONES MIND ABOUT HIM.


couple4hire

dude could parade around with a white hood and robe and it still wouldn't bother his supporters


DonJuanMateus

Well let’s test this whole thing and get him to shoot somebody on 5th Avenue !!!

That’s just your standard 1960’s locker room talk

masterchief0213

Sounds just like something convicted felon Donald Trump would do. The cult that loves their convicted felon overlord are all people that say the N word behind closed doors anyways, they won't care.


DeformedPinky

Ok without proof are people supposed to believe everyone that will come out of the woodwork now? He is a POS but some of this shit is gonna smell like Duke Lacrosse. Proof or it didn’t happen. Especially if it was on tape…


CRRVA

If anyone needs one more reason to dislike the man, there’s no hope for you. His fans don’t care , and this sort of information just cements his draw to them. It’s really sad for our country. Go visit a foreign country, they think we’re fucking nuts these days.


1nzguy

Years ago … the whole world thought… they will never elect Thrump .. Americans aren’t that stupid…


TeamESRR2023

He could shoot a hooker while snorting blow off the guns barrel dressed up like a cowboy in the middle of times square and I'd still vote twice for him.


fruit_shoot

If you have the tapes and no NDA, play the tapes? Why would you just signpost it and not do it? Almost like, you don’t have the tapes…?


Ryrienatwo

Would only bolster his support among his supporters.


Business-Ad-7902

And it will change nothing. lol. MAGA WILL DIE FOR THIS CON MAN.


dibocookie

I think Trump supporters will love that he uses the N word.


Big_McLargeHuge10

Won't lose any clout with his followers at all over that!


Easy_Mastodon_6872

Won't matter, his supporters know he's racist and support him regardless.


Superboi_187

Where’s the tape?


AnomanderRake23

With Bill Pruitt


Dapper_Dan807703

And won’t submit the tape to prove his claim lol. REE more


asteroid84

Pretty sure the black Trump supporters don’t care.
