The raging dumpster fire
Trump is in full garbage mode.
.@MarkBurnettTV called to say that there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa. I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have. She made it up. Look at her MANY recent quotes saying….

Please. He has every hateful epithet in his vocabulary. He’s a mean narcissistic bully, and he loves publicly insulting people.
When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

A dog. The guy who claims he doesn’t have “nigger” in his vocabulary calls a black woman a dog.
And this is the president of the United States. This is the president of the United States calling people stupid and lowlife and low IQ and dogs on Twitter.
God I wish this nightmare would end.
Another terrorist attack in London…These animals are crazy and must be dealt with through toughness and strength!

Animals. But remember, folks, he doesn’t have the word “nigger” in his vocabulary.
The Times editorial board on the nightmare:
President Trump’s spat with Omarosa Manigault Newman, the White House adviser who was fired in December for “serious integrity issues,” is another of those particularly Trumpian innovations in public life — the raging dumpster fire that continues to yield new trash.
In her juicy new tell-all, aptly titled “Unhinged,” Ms. Manigault Newman paints an unflattering portrait of the president, whom she has known since appearing as a contestant on his reality TV show “The Apprentice” in 2004. She characterizes Mr. Trump as a racist, misogynistic narcissist with poor impulse control, severe attention-deficit issues and signs of creeping mental decline, who “loves the hate,” “thrives on criticism and insults” and “delights in chaos and confusion.”
We know all that just from painfully watching him over the last two years (longer than that for people who were paying attention before he won the nomination).
On both sides, the spat is vintage Trump: tawdry, cruel, vindictive and highly personal. That said, this is about more than a petty feud with a former aide who famously shares Mr. Trump’s love of chaos, confusion and high drama. It is also a glaring reminder of one of this president’s central failings as a leader: his disastrous judgment when choosing people with whom to surround himself.
Like Manafort for instance.
The laundry list of reckless, venal and quite possibly felonious behavior in which Mr. Manafort engaged has been on vivid display this month in federal court, where he is facing 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud. As ethically suspect characters go, Mr. Manafort ranks right up there with, well, with Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former lawyer and longtime fixer, who is currently under criminal investigation for his own suspect business dealings. Mr. Cohen had worked with Mr. Trump for years. Even so, when it came to light that Mr. Cohen had secretly recorded some of their conversations, the president took to Twitter to rage, “What kind of a lawyer would tape a client?”
Answer: Precisely the kind whose primary client would be Donald J. Trump.
The kind you like to hire, bro.
We also know these tapes exist(ed)… the showrunner or whatever said as much but refused to release them back during the campaign.
Interesting that Ms Manigault Newman is so often referred to in the media by her given name only. Everyone else is shown the respect of being referred to as “Mr” or “Ms”, or with their full name. Some might claim that “Manigault Newman” is a long-winded name, but no more so than “Huckabee Sanders” who is never referred to as simply “Sarah”.
For the longest time, I thought that Omarosa was her surname!
