Teresa Giudice doesn't share the negative opinion some of Donald Trump's other former The Apprentice participants have about him.

Led by Season 4 winner Randal Pinkett, former The Apprentice contestants Kwame Jackson, Kevin Allen, Tara Dowdell, Marshawn Evans Daniels, and James Sun denounced the Republican presidential candidate's bid during a New York City press conference on Friday. The group believes Trump promotes hostility between people and runs a "campaign of sexism, xenophobia, racism, violence and hate."
Teresa also worked with Trump on while competing on the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012, however, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has a polar opposite view of the GOP presidential frontrunner.
When Reality TV World asked Teresa whether she's a Trump supporter on Saturday following an appearance and book signing event at Mohegan Sun casino to promote her new memoir Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again, she replied, "Oh definitely!"
"Yeah. I think he's great and I would love for him to be president," Teresa revealed.

Teresa also gushed about Trump a little bit when addressing fans at the Mohegan Sun Reality Check event.
"Yeah, Donald Trump! Who wants Donald Trump to be President?! He's an awesome guy. I have to say. He's a really, really great guy," Teresa told her fans.
The 43-year-old reality TV star then elaborated on what Trump is like behind-the-scenes when cameras aren't rolling.
"He's great. I mean, to me, he's always a gentleman," Teresa insisted. "He loved my husband [Joe Giudice]. Every time in the board meeting, he would ask, 'How's Joe?' I'm like, 'He's good!' He would always ask about Joe. Him and Joe hit it off the first time we met, and he was just a great guy."
Teresa then concluded, "I hope he becomes president because he's a smart businessman and we need that for the United States. We do."

Like Teresa, many other former The Celebrity Apprentice and The Apprentice contestants do support Trump. In recent months, Piers Morgan, Gary Busey, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, Stephen Baldwin, and Lou Ferrigno have all made public acknowledgements they think he is a capable leader and would vote for him.
Trump hosted The Apprentice and its celebrity spinoff edition from 2004 until early 2015.
