Donald Trump Once Stripped Dennis Rodman of $40,000 Because of a ‘Spelling Error’

Dennis Rodman is inarguably one of the most colorful personalities associated with the NBA. Rodman is one of the most dominant rebounders the game has ever seen. He won 5x NBA Championships in his 14 NBA seasons.

However, more than his NBA accomplishments, his off-court exploits earned Rodman his reputation. From his legendary Vegas trips to his relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra, Dennis ‘The Menace’ has done it all. Apart from his charades, Rodman also created a lot of waves for his friendship with North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un.

Rodman is also known for being a part of a lot of movies and TV shows. He’s starred in ‘The Rodman World Tour’, ‘Double Team’, ‘Surreal Life’ and ‘Simone Sez’. In 2013, The Worm was a part of a reality television show named ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.

Donald Trump kicked out Dennis Rodman due to a spelling error

Celebrity Apprentice is a reality television based on the show Apprentice. The show has celebrities competing against each other, showing off their business and physical skills to earn the apprenticeship of Thai entrepreneur and martial arts instructor Chatri Sityodtong.

Dennis Rodman joined the show alongside Brande Roderick, Omarosa Manigault, and Claudia Jordan. Donald Trump assigned the celebrities a task to make an advertising campaign for his wife, Melania Trump’s new skincare line.

Rodman was the project manager for his group, and the team was competing for $40,000 for a charity of their choice. It was a well-planned campaign. However, a simple mistake cost them the opportunity.

On one of the posters, Melania’s name was misspelled, and she noticed the error. This led to Donald Trump bringing it up. Since Rodman was the team leader, the responsibility for the same fell on his shoulders.

Rodman wanted to help Trump win a Nobel Peace Prize

We all know of Dennis Rodman’s association with North Korea. He’s great friends with their leader, Kim Jong-Un. At the same time, Rodman is also on great terms with the 45th POTUS, Donald Trump. Before Trump went out of power in 2020, Rodman had a way of winning him a Nobel Peace Prize.

In a letter issued by the 5x NBA Champion, he was ready to use his relations with Kim Jong-Un and help establish peace.

If that had happened, Mr. Trump would actually have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately, the same never took place.
