The Trump Tower project in Chicago would hardly keep Bill busy. They haven't even started builidng it yet, in fact, the old building that is standing in that location hasn't even been torn down yet, so Bill has plenty of free time. In fact, I wonder if Bill will even EVER get to work on the building.. I think his one-year position will expire before any work begins on the tower...

I bet it's in the employment agreement under "Special Projects as Assigned". Remember that? My SPAA are all crap jobs...I want Bill's!

It may be that Bill is just really efficient.

It may be that Donald wants to see where Bill's strengths are.

It may be that Bill has been working too hard behind the scenes, and Donald just wanted to reward him.

Maybe Bill wants a date with Miss Universe, so he could have the whole world in his hands, even if it's just for a little while.

There was an earlier post asking why would Raj want to work for DT. Maybe having the potential of getting a date with Miss Universe is his reason of wanting to be The Apprentice.

Really good point! Who'd a thunkit.

I wonder how strong Donald's boo-ty meter is?

I mean, if Donald found out that was the only reason Raj and/or Bill was interested in working for him, would that be an instant fire, status quo, or a possible promotion?

Gives thanks to the booty man!

As Pepito said, the Chicago Sun-Times building is still there -- so there isn't much that Bill Rancic can do for now except learn from Trump's henchmen, who are generally in NYC.

The plate tectonics inside Hollinger shifted -- Conrad Black and his corrupt lackeys (who were Trump's partners while looting the shareholders of Hollinger) are out -- and as far as I know, Trump still doesn't have a financing deal for the Chicago project.

And George has to be gone sometimes -- SOMEONE in The Trump Organization has to work. The Donald is too busy messing with the few comb-over hairs left on that orb he calls a head to worry about something as trivial as work.

I wonder why, at Donald's age and bottom line, he would be interested in paying interest on a business loan?

I wonder if Donald utilizes as many banks as he can with financing as a gateway into domination? That would mean he could eventually control the economy. It's a back door way in to becoming President of the United States.

If the media pays too much attention to his hair and his face, they will blind part of the masses into looking only on the surface. Could mean that whomever deflects deeper attention to ridicule is actually working for Donald on the down low.

We don't have a real census though, because the ratings tell us that only a fraction of Americans are viewers, so what are the rest of the people doing with their time? Lurkers or blind mice?

If Neilsen tells us that the ratings are low, do they really know how to estimate the value of a show? I mean, if you start out with 10 percent, then divide that 10 percent up into 10 different entities, you could have yourself a network of mass porportions in no time flat.

It's world domination via test tubes (TV tubes).

Bill is a walking advertisement for the Apprentice and I think his role falls more within PR than it does project management? I don't think they've even broken ground on that building yet and they show Bill wearing a hardhat and making like he's giving orders. I think that was just a ruse. Bill has a good job but it likely has little to do with construction of a hotel in Chicago.

Agreed.
