Trump said of Andy Litinsky, "He's a very talented guy, a very fine student from Harvard, and he's going to be terrific. I have no doubt about it."
Of the performance on the night he was bounced Trump said, "He did very well; he just had a particularly bad night."
The news is that Trump is working on developing a reality television show based upon the long-enduring board game Monopoly. This will probably be the first project to come out of the yet-to-be-named production company.
Trump also revealed that reality TV producer R.J. Cutler has already been throwing the idea around to the major networks and "people are very interested in it."
