Trump has responded to critics, saying that will be the extent of his involvement in the show:

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!

Reports by @CNN that I will be working on The Apprentice during my Presidency, even part time, are ridiculous & untrue – FAKE NEWS!

Yesterday, Kellyanne Conway said on CNN that Trump would consider staying on with “The Apprentice” if it’s “one of the approved activities.”
