Did President Trump run for election because of Gwen Stefani? That's what Michael Moore thinks.
The director, who is targeting the president directly in his upcoming documentary "Fahrenheit 11/9", shared his theory on why Trump had run in elections during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday it had made the announcement of its Trump Tower campaign after realizing that Stefani's fees on "The Voice" were higher than his on "The Apprentice".
A bit of context: "The Voice" was already an established success when Stefani arrived in season 7. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the series pays $ 7 million to some coaches and $ 13 million to veterans Adam Levine. and Blake Shelton. If Stefani received the median amount, it would cost him about $ 10 million for a season of 26 episodes, or just over $ 384,000 per episode.
After the first season of "The Apprentice" in 2004 (which was still early for reality TV), NBC doubled Trump's appearance fee to $ 3.2 million or $ 100,000 per episode for seasons 2 and 3. However, peak. In addition, he owned 50% of his show, which brought him much more income in 15 seasons. (He even continued to earn money even after taking office.)
Moore said about Trump: "He was talking about the candidacy for the presidency since 1998, but he did not really want to be president. There is no penthouse in the White House. And he does not want to live in a black city. He was trying to scare NBC off against another network, but that was just skidding.
Moore also predicts that Trump will be re-elected.
"In the current state of things, everyone should be functioning as if it was a two-term Trump," he said.
Moore added that if the Democrats win in 2020, this candidate will need star power.
"We need well-known personalities, say what you want about Trump, but tens of millions of people watched his show," he said. "We need Tom Hanks, Oprah, Michelle Obama, who would not vote for Michelle Obama?"
