    What about filling out his NCAA bracket?

    Do you think that is a conflict of interest?

    How do we encourage successful people to enter politics instead of professional politicians, who make most of their money with legalized insider trading?

    Maybe term limits is best solution with a ban on lobbying for many years afterwards.

    If you think Trump isn't going to do both, you're kidding yourself.

    Isn't this season of the Apprentice already in the can?

    Either way, he's not going to be working on the show. His credit reflects his role in creating the show, and whatever ownership role he may retain.

    I think Sam Simon had a producer credit on the Simpson's long after he exited the show.

    It should be a big deal. The President of the United States says he'll take on something in his spare time? So he's going to treat this POTUS thing like a part time gig? Who is ok with this? What if Obama had said he'd be a community activist in Chicago as well as POTUS? Republicans, who, as we know, are the only true patriots, would be going crazy.

    About as much of a price as your guy Alex Jones will pay for saying H Clinton literally murdered people.

    Isn't Jones self employed?

    He owns Infowars, right? I'm guessing he owns his radio show.

    Is his radio show even on terrestrial radio, or is it just an internet broadcast?

    It's a very different situation than a guy who writes for NewsWeek.

    Oh, and LOL to "my guy"Alex Jones.

    I've never listened to his show, and I've only landed on his site when clicking on a link. Upon realizing it was InfoWars, I've surfed away.

    Unless proven otherwise, my assumption is his name will appear in the credits and...that's it. I don't expect him to be doing any actual work on the thing, honestly.

    Fair enough @YankeeFan. As they say on Law and Order , I was assuming facts not in evidence. In hoops, non sporting technical.
