The staffers behind The Apprentice doubt a Donald Trump N-word tape exists.
Donald Trump maybe one of the most talked about individuals in the world. But before becoming the President of the United States, was he ever recorded using the N-word on the set of The Apprentice? The creator of the show says that it is very unlikely.

According to a recent story from the New Yorker, Apprentice producer Mark Burnett expressed his doubt that Donald Trump’s rumored N-word tape actually exists.
“If there was a tape, it would have spread like wildfire,” Burnett said.
Burnett is not alone. Jonathon Braun, an editor for the first six seasons of the show shared his doubts.
“I was the supervising editor on the first six seasons,” he said. “I didn’t watch every frame, but in everything, I saw I didn’t hear him saying anything so horrible.”
That said, comedian Tom Arnold claimed in an interview with KIRO Radio he has obtained unreleased Apprentice outtakes that show Trump saying “every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever”.
“When the people sent it to me, it was funny,” Arnold said. “Hundreds of people have seen these. It was sort of a Christmas video they put together. He wasn’t going to be president of the United States. It was him sitting in that chair saying the N-word, saying the C-word.”
Ex-White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman, a former Apprentice contestant, also claimed she heard the alleged N-word tape.
“If somebody had the goods, it would have leaked long ago,” an Apprentice staff member told the New Yorker. “There were no Trump fans on the set. I don’t know a single person who worked on the show who voted for Trump.”
While the staffers claim they never heard Trump use the racial slur on set. They say he had a habit of making inappropriate comments about women. “He’d say, ‘How about those boobs? Wouldn’t you like to f**k her?'” an anonymous Apprentice employee told the publication.
