President Donald Trump has weighed in on rumors of a potential reboot of The Apprentice and given his stamp of approval for his son, Donald Jr., to be host.
Trump was asked about the speculation in the Oval Office on Thursday (April 30) following a Wall Street Journal report that Amazon has floated a revival of the hit NBC reality competition series. The report claimed that Donald Jr. was one of the names suggested as a potential host.
