Donald Trump weighs in on son Donald Trump Jr. hosting The Apprentice reboot

Donald Trump thinks his son Donald Trump Jr would "probably be good" for The Apprentice.

The President of the United States, who helmed the reality show show for 186 episodes between 2004 and 2015, has weighed in on reports claiming Amazon are considering a revival of the series for Prime Video with his son as the host.

Asked about the speculation, Trump told Fox News: "Well, I've been hearing it. So I’ve been hearing that you know a little bit."

Regarding Trump Jr as a host of the potential reboot, he added: "He's a good guy. He'd probably be good. He's got a little charisma going. You need a little charisma for that sucker."

The president referenced his own lengthy stint on the show, and described its run as a "tremendous success".

He raved: "We had a great success, 14 seasons, and The Apprentice was a tremendous success. So we'll see what happens."

He teased: "Yeah, they told me about it. We'll see."

The show, which has a longrunning UK version still airing on the BBC hosted by Lord Alan Sugar, followed a group of entrepreneurs competing in a series of business challenges, with Trump eliminating them one by one by saying: "You're fired."

The winner would get the chance to be mentored by the then-business mogul.
