Donald Trump claims to be in touch with people at the hospital where Bret Michaels remains in critical condition after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

He tells TMZ the 47-year-old rocker -- who is currently competing on Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice (which was filmed several months ago) -- is in "big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great."

Although Michaels' reps haven't confirmed Trump's remarks, he says Michaels' issue stems from the 63rd annual Tony Awards last June when the Poison front man was hit in the head by a piece of scenery.

Over the weekend, Trump told UsMagazine.com: "I am deeply saddened to hear about Bret Michaels and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time. He's a great competitor and champion and I hope he will be fine."

On Monday, Michaels' team -- which over the weekend said the rocker was suffering from slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness -- called him "a fighter and survivor." They added that he is "under the best medical care possible."

Fans reach out to Bret Michaels

An update from Michaels' doctors is expected as soon as they find the cause of the bleeding in the his brain.

"As of now Bret remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance," a statement read. "Further testing this week will help locate the source of the bleeding. Look for an official medical report from doctors this week here at BretMichaels.com."

    You're right, TIRED, about the Hippa laws. Trump should not have gotten any information from the hospital as he's not a relative, and how disgusting to announce that private information to the media! What an ass he is!

    I am sending prayers to Brett Michaels and hope for the best and nothing less. I think he is very talented but more so his personality has shined through his shows and interviews and mostly his music. I believe that he is a kind person that loves life and it would be a shame if it was shortened too soon.

    Trump doesn't know about Brett Michaels condition, unless hospital personnel are violating HIPPA laws. Get Well Brett!

    REALTALK - April 26 @ 2:06PM Agree with RealTalk's below statement - pre-R.I.P. Bret: Bret's going to die if not within the next 6 mos. to 1 year, he'll be dead within 2. What's interesting is that his TE AM is obviously getting ready for his checking out that they're saying it was caused from the scenery that hit him on the head. Translation - lawsuit. The truth is, all the years of sniffing cocaine has caught up with him as it does everyone that abuses cocaine. It sits in your system and erupts in the form of an aneursym after the age of 40. True getting hit in the head may have excellerated his demise but he was doomed anyway from years of getting high.
