  • Story Text: American business magnate Donald Trump said Monday (April 5) Sandra Bullock has no choice but to dump her husband Jesse James, saying the former 'Celebrity Apprentice' contestant 'blew it'.
    Trump, who worked with James during one season of the reality television show 'Celebrity Apprentice', says he never knew what the Hollywood actress ever saw in the motorcycle mechanic.
    "I think it's very sad what happened to Jesse, I don't know what has gone on but when he was on the show, I didn't get quite what Sandra would have seen in Jesse but I like Jesse. I just don't know what happened with Jesse. Something bad happened, something really bad," Trump told Reuters.
    The business tycoon made the comments on the red carpet at the 'Dressed to Kilt' fashion show in New York City on Monday (April 5). Trump says Bullock should leave James after claims he cheated on her with several other women.
    "Jesse blew it, there's no question about it. One was bad, two was worse, three, four, five, it's getting pretty bad. So I think Sandra has no choice but to say sayonara," Trump says.
    The media magnate was much kinder - not to mention, forgiving, when it came to Tiger Woods.
    "Well I think Tiger can do really well by winning. I think Jesse is a harder case. It's going to be tougher for Jesse. Tiger's a great golfer, he can do really well if he wins and I think he will win. Not necessarily the Masters, but he'll win plenty of golf tournaments and he has to win. But Jesse, it's going to be tough for him," Trump said.
