“The Apprentice” is leaning towards another member of the Trump dynasty in its reboot plans!
Producers of the hit reality show reportedly plan to put Donald Trump Jr. in the host seat for its reboot, over 10 years after his father, President Donald Trump, quit hosting the show to pursue politics.
Donald Trump Jr. had appeared numerous times on “The Apprentice” alongside his sister, Ivana Trump, serving as an advisor to their father while he was on the show.
The umbrella company of MGM Television, which produces the show, is reportedly eyeing a reboot of the reality competition series, which is set to air on Amazon Prime Video. According to The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Donald Jr. may come on the radar as the host of the reboot. The report stated that the project is currently in its early stages, and Amazon has yet to poach Donald Jr. to come on board.
In the words of an Amazon spokesperson, “since we acquired MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for ‘The Apprentice’ as a property.” Donald Jr., who is the eldest child of the current American president, is an American businessman and activist who shares his name with his late wife, Ivanka Trump.
Donald Jr.’s Dad Slammed ‘The Apprentice’ Movie For False Representation
While “The Apprentice” show might be worth celebrating for Trump’s family, the movie, not so much. In 2024, the politician took to his Truth Social platform to speak out against the movie from the director Ali Abbasi’s stable. “The Apprentice” told the story of the president’s rise in New York City’s real estate world under the mentorship of Roy Cohn.
Actor Sebastian Stan played Trump in the film, with Jeremy Strong starring as Cohn and Maria Bakalova playing Trump’s first wife, Ivana. As noted by Variety, “The Apprentice” opened in theaters on October 11, 2024, from Briarcliff Entertainment. Trump slammed the project as fake and classless, adding that they do not even have the right to use such a name.
The president continued describing it as a “cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’” The politician’s comment caught the attention of the movie’s director, who sarcastically replied to Trump, saying he would call him the next day.

The media personality’s campaign released a statement about the movie, calling it pure fiction and garbage and threatening a lawsuit. Trump’s campaign’s chief spokesperson, Steven Cheung, told Variety that the team would be filing a lawsuit to address the false assertions.
Cheung explained that the project has sensationalized lies that Trump has long debunked. He likened the issues to the controversies surrounding Biden-related trials, stating that the situation could be viewed as an attempt to interfere with the election by influential figures in Hollywood.
The spokesperson added that these people appeared concerned about President Trump’s potential return to the White House. Abbasi also fired back with an offer to screen “The Apprentice” for him in person, declaring that he would meet him at his point of choice and explain the movie’s context.
The POTUS’s Son Faulted A Jury’s Guilty Verdict Against Him In 2024
The president’s eldest child reacted to the jury finding his father guilty of all 34 counts during a criminal trial, which involved payment of hush money, falsifying business records related to payments made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.
As shared by The Blast, Donald Jr. described the judgment as a sad day for America due to the pronouncements from a biased judge whose daughter is profiting from his ill actions. The activist accused the democrats of messing with the order of things and embarking on a mission to turn America back into a gory sight. Donald Jr.’s comment matched his father’s, who described the judgment as a rigged, disgraceful trial.
The jury determined that Trump had fabricated records to hide the true purpose of money given to his former fixer, Michael D. Cohen. The records in question allegedly misclassified the payments as routine legal expenses. Meanwhile, they were reimbursed by President Trump to Cohen for a $130,000 hush-money payment made to Daniels to prevent her from disclosing an alleged sexual encounter.
