Amazon explores ‘The Apprentice’ reboot with Trump Jr set for promotion: report

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
With President Donald Trump «hired» by the American people for a second term, Amazon — which now owns production rights to NBC’s «The Apprentice» — is looking for a new host to potentially reboot the once No. 1-rated television program, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Trump leveraged decades of media coverage as a New York mogul amid the ups and downs of the 1980s and 1990s into a smash-hit program that premiered in 2004, following several wannabe business executives through a several-week «job interview» to work for the Trump Organization.
Fifteen seasons and a presidency-compelled hiatus later, Amazon is reportedly considering Trump Organization Executive Vice President Donald Trump Jr. for the role, as the eldest son has served as a frequent stand-in «boardroom adviser» for Trump executives Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross.
Trump addressed rumors of a reboot on Thursday, telling Fox News’ Peter Doocy that his son is a «good guy» and would «probably be good» in the role.

«He’s got a little charisma going. You need a little charisma for that sucker. So, we’ll see what happens,» Trump said.
Several people familiar with the discussions told The Wall Street Journal that Amazon executives have internally discussed casting Trump Jr. as a host for an «Apprentice» reboot if they do indeed launch the project.
The Journal reported Amazon has not yet approached Trump Sr., Trump Jr. or any Trump family members, but that, instead of NBC, it would air the show on Amazon Prime.
A source close to Trump Jr. told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the Journal report was indeed the first time the 48-year-old father of five had heard his name was in the pot.
Fox News Digital also reached out to the Trump Organization for comment, as well as Amazon and Amazon’s production company.
An Amazon spokesperson told the Journal that the Jeff Bezos-led company previously acquired MGM, which itself bought a majority stake in reality-show impresario Mark Burnett’s company several years earlier.

Burnett has launched several reality shows, including «The Apprentice» and CBS-aired contests «The Amazing Race» and «Survivor,» with the latter now in its 50th season. The credits for «The Apprentice» list Trump Sr. as executive producer.
A reboot would be Amazon’s second foray into Trumpworld in recent months, as it recently debuted a $40 million biopic of first lady Melania Trump that drew praise from supporters and mockery from critics like ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.
«Melania» was directed by Brett Ratner of «Rush Hour» fame, as Trump reportedly pressed Paramount Pictures to revive the Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker series and put Ratner back at the helm, according to CNBC, which further reported the original New Line Cinema films are now subject to a distribution pact between Paramount and New Line parent Warner Bros.
Trump Sr. regularly touted his «Apprentice» success throughout his political tenure, once telling the National Prayer Breakfast that attendees should «pray» for former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after the «Terminator» took over the show and oversaw what the president called a ratings collapse.

Schwarzenegger, the most recent Republican to serve as governor in Sacramento, occasionally spars with Trump, as he is seen as less bombastic and more politically moderate than the president.
«Hey Donald, I have a great idea,» Schwarzenegger shot back at Trump in an X video at the time.

«Why don’t we switch jobs — you take over TV — since you’re such an expert in ratings, and I take over your job so that people can finally sleep comfortable again — hmm?» the Austria native, who voted for then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich in 2016, quipped.
Fox News Digital reached out to NBCUniversal for additional comment on the potential resurrection of their onetime series. Neither Amazon nor the Trump Organization responded by publication time.

El ex presidente surcoreano Yoon Suk Yeol fue sentenciado a 30 años de prisión por autorizar el envío de drones a Corea del Norte en 2024

Un tribunal de Corea del Sur condenó este viernes al expresidente Yoon Suk Yeol a 30 años de prisión por autorizar el envío de drones militares a Corea del Norte en 2024, una operación que, según la Justicia, buscó provocar una escalada de tensiones con Pyongyang para justificar posteriormente la declaración de la ley marcial.
La sentencia se suma a los problemas judiciales que enfrenta el ex mandatario, quien permanece detenido mientras apela una condena a cadena perpetua por liderar una insurrección vinculada a la imposición de la ley marcial en diciembre de 2024.
De acuerdo con un resumen del fallo judicial, los jueces concluyeron que Yoon pretendía provocar a Corea del Norte para que respondiera militarmente contra Corea del Sur. Según el tribunal, el entonces presidente buscó inducir a Pyongyang a realizar “actos armados o equivalentes contra el ejército o el pueblo de Corea del Sur”.
Los magistrados sostuvieron además que el ex mandatario intentó “aumentar las tensiones militares intercoreanas y fabricar una crisis nacional” con el objetivo de que su posterior declaración de la ley marcial pudiera resultar justificable ante la opinión pública.
Las incursiones con drones ocurrieron aproximadamente dos meses antes de que Yoon suspendiera el gobierno civil mediante un decreto de ley marcial. En aquel momento, Corea del Norte reaccionó con dureza y acusó a Seúl de enviar también panfletos propagandísticos a través de la frontera.

Un portavoz del Tribunal del Distrito Central de Seúl confirmó a la agencia AFP que la pena impuesta por el caso de los drones asciende a 30 años de prisión.
En la sentencia, los jueces señalaron que la operación militar de 2024 “implicó el uso de las capacidades militares de Corea del Sur para fines privados”. El tribunal remarcó que las facultades otorgadas al presidente, entre ellas el mando supremo de las Fuerzas Armadas y la potestad para declarar la ley marcial, deben ejercerse exclusivamente para proteger la seguridad nacional y la supervivencia del Estado.
Sin embargo, según el fallo, Yoon autorizó la operación con drones “creyendo que podía utilizar arbitrariamente tales poderes para su propio beneficio político”.
El expresidente rechazó las acusaciones. Yoon sostiene que decretó la ley marcial “únicamente por el bien de la nación”. Su equipo de defensa también negó los cargos relacionados con los drones y argumentó que la operación constituyó una respuesta a los globos cargados con basura que Corea del Norte envió al Sur durante ese año.
La declaración de la ley marcial por parte de Yoon, anunciada en un sorpresivo mensaje televisado durante la noche de diciembre de 2024, desencadenó una de las mayores crisis políticas de la historia reciente de Corea del Sur.
La medida suspendió temporalmente el gobierno civil, aunque su vigencia duró apenas unas seis horas. Legisladores de distintos sectores acudieron de urgencia a la Asamblea Nacional y votaron para anular el decreto en una sesión extraordinaria.
La crisis política derivó en protestas, fuertes turbulencias en los mercados financieros y preocupación entre los principales aliados de Corea del Sur, incluidos Estados Unidos y otros socios estratégicos de la región.
Meses después, el país celebró elecciones presidenciales en un contexto de elevada tensión política. Como resultado de esos comicios, Lee Jae Myung asumió la presidencia tras un prolongado período de incertidumbre institucional.
Las operaciones con drones continúan siendo uno de los principales focos de fricción entre las dos Coreas, que técnicamente permanecen en guerra desde el armisticio que puso fin a los combates de la guerra de Corea sin la firma de un tratado de paz definitivo.
En un episodio separado del proceso contra Yoon, investigadores surcoreanos determinaron que funcionarios gubernamentales enviaron drones al Norte en enero de este año. El presidente Lee expresó posteriormente su pesar por ese incidente.
Por su parte, Kim Yo Jong, una de las figuras más influyentes del liderazgo norcoreano, calificó las declaraciones de Lee como un “comportamiento prudente”. No obstante, las expectativas de una mejora en las relaciones bilaterales se redujeron después de que Pyongyang retomara la definición de Corea del Sur como su “enemigo más hostil”.
La nueva condena contra Yoon amplía la lista de causas judiciales abiertas contra el exmandatario y profundiza las consecuencias políticas de la crisis desatada por la ley marcial y las operaciones militares que precedieron a aquella decisión.

Biden confidant under fire for Nazi tattoo defense in latest Graham Platner fallout: ‘Disgusting’

Democrats rally behind scandal-plagued Graham Platner in Maine Senate race
Democratic candidate Graham Platner maintains the support of top Democrats for the Maine Senate seat, despite his controversial past. He faces multiple scandals, including a Nazi-linked tattoo, a widespread sexting scandal and accusations of praising Hamas’s raid on Israel. As the November election against Senator Susan Collins approaches, the Democratic Party’s unwavering endorsement highlights their commitment to winning the crucial seat, though voters will weigh Platner’s actions.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, is facing fierce pushback online after jumping into the growing controversy surrounding Maine Senate Democratic nominee Graham Platner’s Nazi-linked tattoo, attempting to defend and explain away the Democrat’s disputed ink.
«The fact that a Biden WH Chief of Staff Democrat is comfortable downplaying a Nazi tattoo from a different Democrat tells you everything you need to know about today’s Democrats,» posted Prager University contributor Shabbos Kestenbaum.
Klain sparked a fight with the Republican Jewish Coalition Wednesday when he defended Platner on the group’s Instagram post condemning the candidate and calling on Democrats to withdraw their support. Platner has denied the tattoo was intended as a Nazi symbol, even as multiple people familiar with the candidate have identified it as an SS skull-and-crossbones design, which he has since covered.
«This is just a partisan attack,» Klain wrote. «The tattoo was a skull and crossbones to remember his fallen comrades from his service in Afghanistan.»

Klain served as Biden’s chief of staff from 2021 to 2023, before becoming Airbnb’s chief legal officer. He was appointed to serve on the United States Holocaust Memorial Council by Biden in January 2025 before President Donald Trump removed him nearly four months later.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Council is the presidentially appointed board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The exchange ignited a firestorm on social media, where critics argued Klain’s defense reflected a broader unwillingness among Democrats to distance themselves from Platner amid the growing controversy.
«Here’s former Biden WH Chief of Staff, and @Airbnb Chief Legal Officer, Ron Klain whitewashing Graham Platner’s Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo. This, after hosting a fundraiser for Platner last week. As a former United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Council @HolocaustMuseum member, Klain absolutely knows better,» RJC posted to X of the exchange.

«This is a disgusting lie from Ron Klain and @Airbnb should be deeply concerned someone this dishonest is working for the company in a sensitive role,» posted Hudson Institute adjunct fellow Josh Block.
«What has become of us when prominent Jews defend Nazi sympathizers? I am disgusted. Ex-Biden chief Ron Klain defends Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo,» wrote former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
«It was NOT to honor his fallen comrades, which is wildly manipulative lie,» wrote Republican communicator Matt Whitlock on X.

«You do not have to debase yourself for Platner. Pick your values over partisanship. Focus on other elections. This man is not worth your self-respect,» wrote columnist Alex Zeldin.
«Worse: The highest-ranking elected Jewish official in the U.S., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, still endorses Platner and has refused to revoke his support,» wrote Antisemitism Watch founder Trish Posner.
Several of Platner’s ex-girlfriends have alleged the embattled nominee referred to his tattoo as «my Totenkopf» because of his belief that his unit shared similarities to the Nazi SS paramilitary forces.
During his victory speech Tuesday, Platner acknowledged the controversy that has followed him while on the campaign trail.
«Redemption is not just some simple or easy destination. It’s a journey. I’ve made mistakes in my life, mistakes that I regret, that I live with, that I continue to learn from and I’m still far from perfect,» said Platner. «But every day I wake up and I try to be a little bit better and a little bit kinder than I was the day before and if you give me the chance, I will be a senator for the people who cannot afford to buy a senator.»
A string of controversies have followed Platner as he eyes to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
