Donald Trump told TMZ.com on Monday that Bret Michaels’ condition is not good. Trump said the musician turned reality TV star is in “big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great.” Michaels remains in critical condition under 24 hour watch according to his tour manager, Janna Elias.

Trump said Bret Michaels has proven to be an “amazing competitor” on Celebrity Apprentice and his fighting spirit “ultimately [may be] the thing that could save his life.” Trump said he believes Michaels’ brain bleed could be related to an injury the former Poison front man suffered at the 63rd annual Tony Awards last June when he was hit in the head by a stage prop.

Doctors are still trying to pinpoint the source of bleeding in Bret Michaels’ brain and he is currently undergoing further testing. “As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc. will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal,” a note posted on Michaels’ website says.

Bret Michaels Hospital Condition Still Critical After Brain Hemorrhage

Celebrity Apprentice star Bret Michaels remains in critical condition after being diagnosed with a massive brain hemorrhage on Thursday. Michael’s father, Wally Sycheck, says doctors believe the brain hemorrhage may be complications of the former Poison frontman’s diabetes.

Wally Sycheck told RadarOnline.com he spoke to Bret Michaels on Friday morning. “He sounded upbeat and positive but they had him sedated,” Sycheck said. “But he’s doing good. He sounded like my son.”

On Saturday, Michaels’ rep said the singer “remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location. Future tests are being run and information will be updated in the coming days.”

Michaels had an emergency appendectomy earlier this month and doctors reportedly believe that may have been caused by his diabetes as well.

“We’re all keeping our fingers crossed and saying our prayers,” Sychek said. “He just needs to be quiet and keep rested.

Celebrity Apprentice host Donald Trump said he will keep Michaels spot on the show open. “He’s a great competitor and champion and I hope he will be fine,” Trump said in a press statement.

We wish Michaels well and hope for his speedy recovery.
