Donald Trump fires at CNN, calls its report about The Apprentice ‘rediculous’

Trump, who famously barked the catchphrase “You’re fired!” as he dismissed competitors on The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice programmes, stepped down from the TV show last year when he entered the 2016 Republican presidential race.

US President-elect Donald Trump rejected on Saturday a report that he will continue working with The Apprentice, misspelling the word ‘ridiculous’ and accusing CNN of fake news.
