Gary Busey got the boot last night (finally) on Celebrity Apprentice.

But he said on Today this morning it was not justified. "The team - Backbone - should be called Backstabber," said Busey, "because after the second episode they were out to get me, get me out there."

He said they didn't understand him. "My team didn't want me there. My team was not my team. ... I work in a mysterious way. People don't know what I'm thinking or where I'm coming from."

He also said he would vote for Donald Trump, even though he fired him, because he "would be an absolutely good" president. "He knows about this country. He knows the situation we're in now. I have great respect for sitting president Barack Obama. I will not dismiss that."

He was then cut off by Lester Holt, who was filling in for Matt Lauer.

"Is that it?" said Busey. Yup.
