Legendary filmmaker Judd Apatow really liked Donald Trump\\u2014when he was on TV. \\u201cI watched [the Apprentice] all the time because I found it so hilarious that all of his opinions were so wrong and everyone he would fire was always for the wrong reason. It was so terrible and crazy that it was fun to watch,\\u201d Apatow tells Molly Jong-Fast and Rick Wilson on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. These days, Apatow isn\\u2019t laughing. \\u201cWhen you\'re in show business, you meet people like Trump, you meet people who literally don\'t exist in the same dimension as you; they\'re just gone. And that\'s what he\'s like. He\'s like Cosby in a way, these people who are completely deluded and they\'ve been famous and all of their wishes are attended to \\u2014 they lose complete touch with reality,\\u201d Apatow adds, calling Trump the \\u201cabusive parent to the country.\\u201d Then! Washington Post media editor Margaret Sullivan weighs in on the Bari Weiss controversy. \\u201cIf Bari was truly bullied at work, then that\'s very regrettable and I\'m sorry to hear that, but she was not forced to resign. I guess you could say cancelled herself,\\u201d says Sullivan, author of the new book Ghosting the News. Plus! How many minutes will Trump\\u2019s new campaign manager last? WTF is up with the Trumps and Goya beans? And how did Molly possibly survive an entire day without Twitter?!
