Petition Launches for NBC to ‘Un-Fire’ Trump From The Apprentice So He Drops Presidential Race

Make America Awesome describes itself as a “superPAC dedicated to blocking and reversing Donald Trump’s political ascent.” There isn’t much else to learn about them from their informational page, but the contact email routes to Mair Strategies, a boutique public relations firm.

The superPAC even has its own ads running in major primary states:
