Groupon says Trump and his TV show are "in the middle of some political criticism at the moment," and the company wants to disassociate itself from the real estate mogul and possible presidential candidate.
Groupon says it never advertised on Trump's show on TV and only inadvertently advertised on the show's website. Groupon said it bought ads on NBC.com, and those ads were rotated onto the Apprentice homepage:
"Groupon has never been a sponsor of The Apprentice on TV or on the web. We invest heavily in online advertising through networks that place ads on a rolling basis, meaning that we know one will appear on NBC.com but not specifically which page. We know that some advertising appeared on The Apprentice home page a few weeks ago."
