Donald Trump has branded Sandra Bullock's husband Jesse James "cunning" after he cheated on the actress.

James had starred in the last season of Trump's show 'Celebrity Apprentice.'

"He was a quiet guy, but as the show progressed, you realized that he was very smart and very cunning. He didn't get along with the people on the show, but I sort of got to like him, at least as much as such a sullen personality can be liked . . ." the New York Post quoted Trump as saying.

He added: "Don't underestimate Jesse, he is very deceptive, and what you see is not really what you get. He happens to be a very smart guy. As for Sandra, who I also know very well, she is a total sweetheart."

Even during the show, Trump had asked James: "What the hell does Sandra Bullock see in you? How did you ever get Sandra? You must have something going, but I sure can't figure it out. Maybe you're just good in bed."

James' affair with a tattoo model got recently exposed. (ANI)
