During his presidency, Donald Trump will remain the executive producer on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice channel, which will reappear on January 2 TV after the 2-year break, which will be moderated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This magazine writes Variety.

Representatives of the Hollywood film studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures confirmed the appointment of Trump. It is not yet known what kind of work the elected president will perform.

MGM declined to comment on the financial terms of the deal with Trump.

Although Trump does not play any role in the creation of the show, the fact that the current president will receive money from a TV show may cause a conflict of interest.

However, former presidents published books during their time at the White House, so there is a precedent when the president earned money during the time at the White House. For example, the profit from President Obama’s books Of Thee I Sing: A Letter To My Daughters was donated to charities that help children of disabled veterans.

Trump was leading the program from 2008 to 2015 year, but last summer the TV channel broke the contract with him because of scandalous statements about Mexican migrants that Trump made right at the start of his presidential campaign. After that, the program stopped broadcasting.

After his victory in the November 8 presidential election, Trump announced that he would give up the presidential salary of $ 400 thousand per year and was ready to receive only $ 1.

“I’m not going to get paid, I don’t take it. I think that by law I will receive $1 a year,” Trump said, recalling that he voiced his intention to refuse the salary during the election campaign.

In addition, the politician saidthat the term of his presidency will leave the business empire in order to avoid conflicts of interest. About this future president wrote in his Twitter.
