I was a Randal fan from the very beginning. I was on board with him and believed he was the obvious choice from week 1. He clearly outclassed all the compitition week in and week out.I didn't believe Rebecca had a chance until two weeks ago. I wonder how much of America gasped when Rebecca pinned Randal's ears back in front of George & Carolyn when they were negotiating over who would join their teams. She impressed me then and you could tell by the look on Randal's face that she had knocked him off his game. Even Carolyn lost her poker face and seemed pleasantly surprised.
Fast forward to the end of tonight's show. Randal won. He had nothing left to prove. Trump deferred to him in the decision to hire Rebecca. By doing so Trump made it plain that she would be joining them in a subordinate postion. Randal had nothing to lose in bringing her on board since it would be him in essence hiring her. The only way he could lose would be to do what he did. Not only did he make himself look small and petty He shamed Trump on his own show by not playing along!
In the end he made himself small to feed his own ego.
Sad....so very very sad.
You are so right about this.
Not a classy move at all Randal. Huge disappointment in you tonight. Wonder if will come back to bite you in the behind. Don't think DT was too pleased with that move.
I agree with you all
yes

yes
yes
(((((((SNIFF)))))))))
Are you sure?
Trump was not shamed. More then once he has proven that it is his show. He would have hired her anyway. He took Randal's advice not to hire her and that in itself says somehting.
Please... Trump is a media whore. He knew exactly what he was doing with this move. This will be conversation #1 at the water cooler tomorrow. Trump was in a no-lose situation. If Randal says "yes" it's the season's feel-good moment. If Randal says "no" it creates scandal and controversy...which is never a bad thing in entertainment. But the fact that Trump let Randal's decision stand does not mean that he was complicit by any means. Truth is, Trump had a love-jones for Rebecca...and most pretty girls. He would have been thrilled if Randal had said "yes."
Trump is his own man and if he wanted her hired she would be.
Trump is masterful at giving the illusion that he is his own man.
Ya right and the blocks he owns in New York City is an illusion.
Trump is masterful at giving the
illusion that he is his own man.I know that. Actually he works for me.
But I thought that people were saying that he was "too laid back" and "too soft" to make it in NYC. It makes sense that he left the ball squarely in The Donald's court where it belonged. He also showed that he has the mettle to be a strong businessman by clearly stating his position.The problem here is The Donald, not Randal. The Donald only grudgingly hired Randal to begin with. So he certainly has the power to hire her now.
He tried to do the same thing with Amy Henry, who was clearly better than Boyfriend Bill, and she turned him down. Good for her.
Rebecca is in no way better than Randal.

It's all about ratings and Trump is the big winner here at Randall's expense.
Randall is a god.
I'll bet Randall becomes the Apprentice!
I'll bet no one has a clue where Randall is now.
10 years in prison for tax evasion. They were going to make it 25 years just for being on the show.
