It's certainly looking like our next president could have a gig on the side — one that could earn him tens of thousands of dollars every week or so.

President-elect Donald Trump will be an executive producer of "The Celebrity Apprentice" next year, a spin-off of "The Apprentice" show that catapulted Trump to global fame and made him millions of dollars; it's returning to TV after a two-year break right as he takes office.

This, as you can imagine, raises a few red flags for watchdogs already troubled by Trump flouting the norms of how presidents avoid conflicts of interest. Here's what they're worried about with Trump's side gig:

1. A president could be getting a paycheck from a company the government is supposed to oversee: We don't know if Trump will actually be getting paid, but he has yet to tell us he's doing this for free. Which means NBC could be simultaneously covering the president and cutting him a paycheck, and Trump could be getting a paycheck from a major media conglomerate while his administration oversees it. (The news and entertainment divisions under NBC are technically separate, but is that enough of a distinction?)

2. Presidents don't traditionally seek out a way to make money: There's no rule governing how much money a president could make with a side gig, explains The Fix's Aaron Blake. But there are rules governing how much members of Congress and Cabinet officials can make on the side, and it's way below the "low five figure mark" Vanity Fair reported Trump might be earning per episode. Other presidents have made millions on books and speaking gigs, but those typically came before or after their time in the White House.

3. Is there enough time for a side job? Trump's senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway, suggested that Trump could do this in his time off, like some presidents play golf on the weekends. But ethics experts say golf and working on a reality TV show aren't comparable. Former George W. Bush ethics lawyer Richard Painter told The Post: "We need him to be president — full time — and not to have other contractual commitments elsewhere."

Was there any doubt Trump was going to govern like this?

Fix Boss Chris Cillizza says we all knew this was coming.

To Trump, there is a seamless line between the White House and reality TV — and he's conducted his Cabinet search with all the flair of  "The Bachelor": see Mitt Romney wining and dining in front of the cameras to get a job. Or Trump choosing Linda McMahon, co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, to head the Small Business Administration.
