Tom Arnold Claims To Have Donald Trump Caught On Tape Tape Using N-Word And Other Offensive Language

Actor and comedian Tom Arnold claims to have a copy of The Apprentice outtakes featuring Donald Trump using the N-word and other offensive language. Arnold made the claim on the Dori Monson show on KIRO radio on Friday and if true, it could spell trouble for Trump. Trouble, or one more annoying instance of Donald Trump’s past in the entertainment business coming back to haunt him.

Word of the existence of Apprentice outtake recording came to light a few months ago. That was when then-candidate Donald Trump got embroiled in what has been dubbed “p***ygate,” or the release of an Access Hollywood open mic situation where Donald Trump claimed that he could grab beautiful women “by the p***y” because he’s rich and famous.

That conversation took place between Donald Trump and former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. The fallout added a layer of drama and feminist outrage to the 2016 presidential campaigns. Billy Bush would go on to lose his job; Donald Trump to become President-elect. During the so-called “p***ygate” media circus, it was revealed that outtakes of The Apprentice exist in which Trump drops every vestige of political correctness and really lets loose. As Mediate reports, Apprentice producer Mark Burnett threatened to sue anyone who released the controversial outtakes. Anyone who had the tapes thought twice about releasing them when faced with a potential $5 million penalty.

However, according to Tom Arnold, the Donald Trump Apprentice outtakes are in his possession. And they are just as offensive and off-putting as the public has been led to believe.

“I have the outtakes to ‘The Apprentice’ where he says every bad thing ever, every offensive, racist thing ever. I have that.”

As My Northwest reports, there has been some public doubt regarding the existence of the Donald Trump footage Tom Arnold claims to have in his possession. The reason? Confidentiality agreements signed by virtually everyone involved in their production (and/or those who have seen them) have made releasing them a legal nightmare.

Even so, Tom Arnold’s claims that the footage exists and that he has not only seen it but physically has the tapes seems pretty legitimate. Even if he has yet to release them. According to Arnold, this is why he has kept the controversial and potentially damning footage of Donald Trump under lock and key.

“I’ll tell you why. Because when the people sent it to me, it was funny. 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, calling his son a r****d, just being so mean to his own children. Oh, this is so funny, this is this guy. The Sunday before the election, I get a call from Arnold’s CAA agent, sitting next to Hillary Clinton. They said, ‘I need you to release him saying the N-word.’ I said, ‘Well, now these people – two editors and an associate producer — are scared to death. They’re scared of his people, they’re scared of they’ll never work again, there’s a $5 million confidentiality agreement.”

Tom Arnold rose to fame as the real and TV husband of Roseanne Barr (formerly Roseanne Arnold), and has appeared on numerous television shows and in a handful of films throughout his career. Personally, Arnold has said that he “can’t stand” Donald Trump. That being said, he also claimed that he didn’t believe that the highly offensive language and behavior reportedly contained on the Apprentice outtake tapes would have cost Trump the election.

In fact, just days before Donald Trump officially clinched his expected Electoral College victory, Arnold told radio host Dori Monson that he thought the Apprentice outtakes may have endeared Trump even further to his adoring fans and voter base.

“I don’t think so. I think if the people that like him saw him saying the N-word, he’s sitting matter-of-factly in front of there has to be 30 people there, and he’s matter-of-factly saying all of this stuff. So I think they would have liked him more, the people. For being politically incorrect.”

What do you think? Should Arnold (or someone else) have released their copies of The Apprentice’s Trump outtakes? Should it be a deal-breaker for a U.S. presidential candidate to use language like “r****d,” “c**t,” or the N-word? What are your thoughts on the Donald Trump tapes Tom Arnold claims to have?
