Celebrity Apprentice interrupted by Obama's bin Laden announcement

In a perfect encapsulation of Trump's week, NBC's broadcast of 'The Celebrity Apprentice' was interrupted by President Obama's announcement that U.S. forces had killed Osama bin Laden. The timing was devastating for Trump: just days after Obama released his long-form birth certificate (deflating Trump's birther crusade), and hours after being humiliated at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Trump's TV show was literally cut off by news of Obama's greatest foreign policy achievement. Trump issued a statement congratulating the military, attempting to seem presidential, but the juxtaposition of trivial reality TV against a historic national security success underscored the absurdity of Trump's political pretensions.
