I watched the 1st show of the season with David Cassidy.
Trump let David Cassidy go because he couldn't perform. He only raised $1,000.00 for his cause. Trump felt that David had a lack of Passion.
Richard Hatch said that David took a lot of breaks. Hatch said that David was used to being cuddled and and the he was delicate in emotions.
David left a message on his website stated that he was bullied.

I think Donald Trump and David Cassidy deserve each other. They both have massive egos.

Richard Hatch could just as easily been the one fired, but I think Trump figured Hatch would make for better TV. I knew Cassidy was in trouble in the boardroom segment when he started deferring to Jose Canseco. It's like he wanted Jose to do his fighting for him. Too bad for David being the first one booted, but he's better off not doing a show like this. It seems that the business world isn't for him.

True, but I'd rather be stuck with Trump than Cassidy!!!

David didn't have a chance from the beginning against a bully like Hatch.
Hatch claims he took a lot of breaks. We saw one, and in it he phoned his daughter to have her come down for more publicity. David is just too "laid back" for this sort of thing. That doesn't mean lazy. He and Jose were stuck doing all the prep and the joe-jobs while Hatch was puffing his chest.
Hatch's ego is bigger than Trumps AND David's put together and that's why Trump wanted to keep him - because it makes for "better viewing" than someone who doesn't ruffle feathers.
And Hatch should go back to school. The term is "being coddled" - NOT "cuddled". Look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnals Richard!!

Reportedly David did not want to do Celebrity Apprentice because he felt that anyone who does these celebrity reality shows are desperate for attention. He could have done Dancing With The Stars long ago but never chose to. Of course I wonder how he was "forced" to try Celebrity Apprentice, but my best guess it was a situation like he was in when he had to honor a contract while doing The Partridge Family, a sitcom he wanted out of.
I guess David does have a big ego. Reportedly one of the people that Carly Simon's song "Your'e So Vein" may be referring to is David Cassidy.
Perhaps if Carly Simon had met Donald Trump back then , he might be one of the people she was referring to.
Still Trump may have a smaller ego than he is leading everyone to believe he has.
He may just be pulling a very political stunt.
After all, he is being too extreme. He must have something else up his sleeve than winning the presidency on the republican ticket.
He may be trying to make all republicans look bad.
