 Some people publicly called for NBC to fire Trump from his role on "The Apprentice", including former US congressman Anthony Weiner.Industry media speculated about the extent to which Trump's media comments may have contributed to the show's ratings decline, given how other Trump-associated businesses have suffered since Trump's political campaign began.One (anonymous) "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant even announced an intention to boycott the May 15 taping of the season seven finale, unless forced by contract to appear.
