The most obvious question raised by the title of Tom Arnold’s “The Hunt for the Trump Tapes” is: which (alleged) ones? Surveillance footage captured in a Moscow hotel room, or in Trump Tower, or God knows where else? Full of sound and fury and producing few receipts, the series seems most concerned with the tape rolling in Mr. Arnold’s own camera, the one that will get him back on TV. The logic behind “Hunt” is that video brought Mr. Trump into the White House, and video will take him out of it. At a pre-Emmys party two days before the premiere, Mr. Arnold reportedly scuffled with Mark Burnett, the “Apprentice” producer whom Mr. Arnold has accused of covering for his former star.
