Facing Trump Backlash, Groupon Announces It Will Stop Sponsoring The Apprentice





Potential GOP candidate Donald Trump has been peddling false and malicious attacks on President Obama. He gains much of his prominence from his prime-time NBC show The Apprentice. This morning at 9:30 am on Twitter, ThinkProgress urged concerned citizens to ask Groupon to stop sponsoring the show.

Dear @Groupon: Are you going to continue to sponsor The Apprentice and support Donald Trump + his malicious attacks on our President?less than a minute ago via TweetDeck  Favorite  Retweet  Reply
Moments ago, a Groupon representative announced that, in the future, they will block their advertisements from appearing on The Apprentice website.
You can contact Enterprise Rental Car, which is telling customers they don’t sponsor The Apprentice, but are currently advertising on their website.
