Trump denies he will work on 'The Apprentice' while president

Donald Trump today denied he will work on the new series of reality television show 'Celebrity Apprentice' after becoming US president, dismissing a report by a leading American network as "ridiculous" and "fake news".
CNN had reported that Trump "plans on doing double-duty, taking office and remaining an executive producer on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice."
In a series of tweets, Trump pushed back on the news report.
"Reports by CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are ridiculous and untrue - FAKE NEWS! (sic)" the president-elect said.
"I have NOTHING to do with The Apprentice except for fact that I conceived it with Mark B & have a big stake in it. Will devote ZERO TIME! (sic)" Trump asserted.

Ever since the primaries for the US election that concluded in November, Trump has been critical of the mainstream US media calling them "the most dishonest people".

He even revoked media credentials of several media outlets during his controversial election campaign.
During the elections, he had called CNN as "Clinton News Network".
The Apprentice being run by NBC returns to TV on January 2.
NBC had severed its business ties with Trump in June 2015 over his alleged "derogatory statements" about immigrants.
NBC said Trump is being replaced by the former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
