It’s “The Apprentice, SCOTUS Edition.”

Mr. Trump, who has a penchant for the theatrical and loved teasing out suspense in his key appointments throughout the campaign, plans to bring his two top choices for the United States Supreme Court to the White House ahead of his announcement tonight at 8 p.m., according to a CNN report.

Trump wants a big show for his Supreme Court rollout. Networks oblige
The major broadcast networks are set to carry President Trump’s Supreme Court announcement live on Tuesday evening, cutting into regular prime-time programming.

The coverage by ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox broadcast affiliates is likely to significantly expand the television audience for the president’s announcement, which has taken on the air of a reality television special. Mr. Trump has used his Twitter account to encourage Americans to tune in for the event.

What's next? Call or text to 555-1212 to choose the next person he fires?

4. I am sick of the malevolent buffoon trying to run the country like a cheesy tv show

9. You and me, both.

5. Don't give the washed-up reality TV star any ratings.

I will turn my TV off at 8:00.

6. Sick. Will not watch.

7. F'ck this. Let's do it like The Voice or American Idol.

He can interview them for about 5 minutes each, show a glitzy 4-5 minute video on each produced like a puff piece from the olympics. Then we vote. 555-1212 #1 for contestant #1, #2 for the next guy and #3 of the third...doesnt' matter how the calls count up, he'll pick the winner - just like every other "reality" show.

Then, at the bottom of the hour just after the last commercial, we can get the three of them standing on stage pedestals and the lights fade on two out of the three....the crowd roars, the winner comes running down to the front of the stage.

He gets surrounded by the 4 hard core RW supremes, all decked out in robes....and they fit him into his new black robe.

Camera fades, credits roll and you hear the gnashing of teeth as we get a preview for next weeks show.

Boom...that's the f'ing way to do an announcement.



They are such asshats.

8. His "penchant for the theatrical" is clumsy and obvious...

...just like the reality TV that created him.

10. Patrick Leahy declined invitation to attend.

On MSNBC he stated that he and his wife "have other plans." Perhaps they plan to watch paint dry???
