John D. Miller, the former chief marketer for NBC, has publicly apologized for his role in promoting Donald Trump through the television show 'The Apprentice.' Miller, who played a significant part in crafting the image of Trump as a successful businessman, expressed deep regret for contributing to what he described as a 'monster.' He acknowledged that the portrayal of Trump on the show was a fabricated narrative that did not reflect Trump's real-life business failures, including six bankruptcies. Miller's apology, published in a U.S. News & World Report opinion piece, highlights his remorse for the long-term impact of this false image on the American public and the world. Vince Manze, who co-created iconic campaigns with Miller, was also mentioned in the context of their work at NBC.
