  • Donald Trump pulling for Bret Michaels, wonders if Tony Awards injury caused brain hemorrhage

    Along with many fans, “Celebrity Apprentice” host Donald Trump just wants Bret Michaels to get well soon.

    “The whole thing is unbelievable,” Trump told Fox & Friends while addressing Michaels’ shocking brain hemorrhage last week. “He was in such good shape, or at least seemingly so and this is what happens.”

    “The Donald” has his own view of what could have caused the hemorrhage. “He did the Tony Awards [last year] where he got whacked; he got hit really, really hard. That was a year ago so that sounds like a long time,” explained Trump. “But with brains… Something like that could cause it, but no one really knows what caused it.”

    Michaels was hit by a piece of scenery that broke is nose during the 2009 Tony Awards.

    Michaels was rushed to an undisclosed hospital last week after suffering from excruciating headaches. “I hear very rarely do people get to the hospital, let alone survive [a hemorrhage],” said Trump. “So he’s going through a lot. He’s a great guy and we hope he makes it.”

    Trump knows first-hand that the former rocker is a fighter. “He probably worked harder than anybody else,” he said.

    “He’s really a great character. When I first met him I wasn’t sure whether or not he was going to make it at all,” said Trump. “Then as you got to know him you got to like him. Everybody liked this guy.”

    “A thing like this has never happened before [on “The Celebrity Apprentice”],” said the real-estate tycoon.”We’re right in the middle of it. The ratings are through the roof and it’s been a really great show.”

    This is mainly because of the outstanding cast that includes Sharon Osbourne and Cyndi Lauper. “Bret has really helped to make it such a good show and he’s in for another few episodes,” says Trump. “To think that this could happen in the middle of the show is amazing.”

    “But,” he pointed out “that’s unimportant compared to Bret. I just hope he gets well.”
