We Should Boycott Companies Advertising "The New Celebrity Apprentice". [View all]

It airs on Jan 2nd.

My position is that NBC refused to release damaging footage of Trump because of their financial stake in him and is show.

NOW? Trump is going to be POTUS and he's still an executive producer. Even if he did it for free, he should in no way be connected to a commercial enterprise.

Trump's Continued Ties To 'Celebrity Apprentice' Raise More Conflict Questions
Even after he becomes president, Donald Trump will hold another title dear to his heart: executive producer.

The next head of the U.S. government is to retain a stake and a credit for the NBC reality series Celebrity Apprentice, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks tells NPR. The story was first reported in the Hollywood trade publication Variety.

"Mr. Trump has a big stake in the show and conceived of it with Mark Burnett," Hicks told NPR. The show, for which Trump served as host and an executive producer, is now majority owned by MGM Studios and airs on NBC, though it has not been broadcast since early 2015.

Records filed with federal ethics officers show Trump's holdings are elaborately structured in a way that — intentionally or not — greatly obscures clarity on just how much he makes from the show or owns of it. He could receive a significant cut of its profits from MGM. Trump clearly cares about the show: He has publicly criticized the Emmy Awards for failing to bestow recognition for his work on the program.

I saw a tv advertisement for the upcoming show and they have a snippet of Trump's voice mixed in (quickly, towards end).

People should be making a stink about this. If his name is in any way tied to this show, it's a conflict of interest. He needs to pick a job.

Would it be possible to boycott any company/product advertising the show?

This shouldn't be allowed to happen.
