Trump still torments CNBC's Jarvis

The New York Post reports that New York real estate developer Donald Trump wants to know why CNBC reporter Rebecca Jarvis, who was a contestant on his “Apprentice” show, doesn’t mention that in her online bio.

The Post reports, “‘In your very nice . . . bio, which airs on CNBC, many facts are mentioned about you, some very unimportant,’ Trump wrote to Jarvis. ‘But the only thing you don’t mention is that you were on ‘The Apprentice,’ which is the sole factor leading to your job at CNBC. How quickly we forget.’

“A CNBC flack said: ”The Apprentice’ got Rebecca a courtesy interview, but her intelligence, determination and background in both journalism and investment banking got her everything else.'”

Read more here. Jarvis finished second on the show.

Her CNBC bio can be found here. Note that it’s out of date. She is no longer a SABEW board member.

  • Way to go Rebecca!! With arrogant billionaires not to be named lest someone deal a Trump card on my hand, you have persevered. Clearly the Donald society places more importance on monetary impact than intellect. You possess more than that bad toupe' could ever dream of covering.

    Keep up the great work. I love your financial coverage.
