An all-out feud is progressing out of control between former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman and Donald Trump — with Manigault-Newman releasing what is affectionately being referred to as ‘The Omarosa Tapes’ as well as her new tell-all book about “The Donald.”

When Omarosa Manigault-Newman was fired from her post as a White House advisor, she did not go quietly. In fact, she shrewdly used some of the ‘dog eat dog’ tactics she learned while a contestant on Trump’s “The Apprentice” television show during her last days as “The Donald’s” flunkie.
In a media blitz for her just-released book “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House,” Omarosa has shockingly revealed that not only did she secretly record White House Chief of Staff John Kelly inside the Situation Room while he was firing her, but she also secretly recorded Donald Trump’s response to her dismissal. Hence the name: The Omarosa Tapes.
During the 1st recording, Gen. Kelly is heard telling Omarosa that her firing is “non-negotiable.” In the 2nd recording, Donald Trump is heard explaining to Omarosa how shocked he was to have heard on the news that she was leaving.
“Omarosa? Omarosa what’s going on? I just saw on the news that you’re thinking about leaving? What happened?” Trump is heard saying on the tape following her December 2017 termination.
“General Kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave,” Omarosa responds.
“Nobody even told me about it,” Trump replies while reiterating his shock.
“You know they run a big operation, but I didn’t know it. I didn’t know that. Goddamn it. I don’t love you leaving at all.”
According to an obviously scorned Omarosa, these are not the only tapes she’s holding and she says she is fully prepared to release more (including a tape of Trump using the “N” word)!

Let’s take a look at everything that’s wrong with this picture.
1.) The fact that a senior White House employee was able to successfully and secretly record ANY conversation inside the classified and confidential Situation Room and then release ‘The Omarosa Tapes’ to the media is very possibly a huge national security crisis.
2.) The fact that a senior White House employee was able to successfully and secretly record the President of the United States proves:
a) Trump was very clearly using an unsecured phone for it to happen (which he has repeatedly been admonished not to do), and
b) Trump is a buffoon for falling into a trap with a former reality TV contestant. If it were that easy for Omarosa, imagine what a rogue nation could do?
To cover his own ass, Trump immediately called on the non-disclosure agreement he forced all White House employees to sign so they’d never speak poorly of him in public.
“Wacky Omarosa already has a fully signed Non-Disclosure Agreement!” Trump tweeted.
The only problem is, his ordered agreement is being called “unconstitutional” by legal scholars since it involves a government official and is very likely “a violation of the First Amendment”
Apparently realizing that the signed agreements not to blab about his dysfunctional White House aren’t worth the paper they’re written on, Trump has taken to publicly bashing Manigault-Newman for ‘The Omarosa Tapes’ and her cut-throat, no holds barred book.

Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard….

…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!

While I know it’s “not presidential” to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and I know the Fake News Media will be working overtime to make even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate as possible. Sorry!

During her numerous media appearances of late, Omarosa has been quoting text from her book and saying:
- She now believes the man (Donald Trump) she has been loyal to for 14 years is “a racist, a bigot and a misogynist” and that his biggest personality flaw is a complete lack of empathy for others.
- She believes that Trump is in “mental decline” and physically unwell.
- She believes first lady Melania Trump is deeply unhappy and “is counting every minute until (her husband) is out of office and she can divorce him.”
If Omarosa truly believes all of this about Donald Trump, why did she fiercely stick by his side for 14 years (since these behaviors didn’t magically appear the night AFTER she was fired)? Further, if Donald Trump truly believes Omarosa is “wacky” as well as all the other negative statements he made about her, why did he hire her? And, why has he allowed her to be a member of his inner circle for 14 years?
Additionally, since when does Donald Trump care about what’s “not presidential”???
Inquiring minds want to know!
Kudos DJ. You really laid this whole thing out quite nicely.
Mannnn! …what a nest of Vipers. Snakes. Each and every one of them, starting with the head snake himself. Trump.
And mind you that insecure fool is quick to level his racist attacks against Black critics questioning their intelligence -calling Blacks “stupid,” “not smart”…etc. Of course, he’s obviously projecting because, as THIS and countless other examples, clearly show….Donald is NOT a bright guy.
He’s clever, devious and corrupt. Smart…he AIN’T. And he knows it.
But it just may be dawning on him – he may have finally met his match(?). Someone just as dark-hearted, if not Moreso, than he is.
Omarosa Manigault-Newman.
