John Rich sets Donald Trump straight

The New York City based reality show, “Celebrity Apprentice,” has had several country music kings in its ranks. Trace Adkins appeared on the show in the past, and since then, Donald Trump has liked to take responsibility for Adkins stardom. However, on of this season’s contestants – John Rich – decided to set him straight.

For the record, before Adkins even met Trump he had a number of No. 1 hits under his Texas-sized belt buckle. And John Rich made sure that Trump knew of that. “And I said, 'Well, uh, actually he was multi-platinum before he came on your show," Rich said in a recent radio interview. "He [Trump] goes, 'No, no. Trace Adkins, he was basically no one.' And I look at him and I said, 'You know what? You're right. ... He basically was no one before your show. Thank you so much for putting him on here 'cause now we all get to hear his great voice.' And I just totally played along with it, like Donald Trump really thinks Trace Adkins was nobody before that show."

It just goes to show that the men of country music truly are southern bred gentleman – they will always have each other’s backs, even in the big city.
