Fox News contributor suggests it was a ‘compliment’ when Trump called Omarosa a ‘dog’

sudshr47 August 21, 2018

Remember when Donald Trump, our sitting president, called Omarosa “that dog” after news broke that she’d recorded with him and others during her time at the White House? It was both racist and sexist — and definitely was not said from a place of love.

But if you ask Washington Times‘ editor Charlie Hurt, Trump’s “dog” comment was totally fine. During a segment on Fox News on Tuesday, Hurt suggested that Trump meant “dog” as a compliment.

Fox News commentator Marie Harf first brought up the comment as an example of “offensive things” Trump’s said on Twitter. Read more…

About that Omarosa book: This is what complicity looks like

sudshr47 August 15, 2018

Everyone is the hero of their own story — but in telling that tale, people often reveal much more about themselves than they realize. That is true of autobiographies in general, and of Unhinged by Omarosa Manigault Newman more than most.

The tell-all book, released Tuesday by the famous former reality show star and communications staffer, has plenty of beans to spill on the dysfunction and casual racism of Donald Trump and his White House.

It’s also the story of how the kind of person who seems to think in soundbites could help elect and participate in such an administration without ever really knowing what she was doing. And how, even after reflecting for a year, that person thinks she can avoid doing much soul-searching about her role. Read more…

Omarosa says she’s ‘not trolling’ with White House recordings

sudshr47 August 15, 2018

Omarosa Manigault-Newman said she’s “not trolling” the White House with her decision to release secretly taped conversations with Chief of Staff John Kelly and Trump.

The former Trump aide joined Trevor Noah on The Daily Show on Tuesday night to talk about her new tell-all book, Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the White House, and why she made the recordings — including one which reportedly discusses the existence of an Apprentice outtake tape in which Trump allegedly uses a racial slur.

“I’m not trolling them. I just want them to know that everything that you see in Unhinged, that’s quoted, can be verified as documented and corroborated.” she said. Read more…

The 10 most unhinged parts of Omarosa’s ‘Unhinged’

sudshr47 August 14, 2018

We’re well into the second season of Trump: The Presidency, and Omarosa — who was supposed to have left after season one — keeps worming her way back into every episode.

This week brings us Omarosa’s book Unhinged, a “juicy” tell-all about her brief tenure in the White House and her relationship with President Trump. To be fair, there isn’t that much, thematically, that will surprise the reader. We’re all too aware of the chaos in the White House.

What is (sort of) novel about Unhinged is the grotesque specificity of its detail. Omarosa seems to take real pleasure in exposing each and every one of the Trump administration’s weaknesses — as well as every single of one of her mighty strengths. Read more…

Trump didn’t know Omarosa had been fired, new tape seems to show

sudshr47 August 13, 2018

President Donald Trump runs a tight ship — poised to crash into an iceberg at any second.

No one knows this better than master villainess and former senior Trump administration official Omarosa ManigaultA new recording released by Manigault seems to show that Trump — you know, the president of the United States of America — didn’t know that she had been fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. (She released a recording of the meeting in which she was fired on Sunday.)

It wasn’t like Manigault was a low-level official. During her brief tenure at the White House, she served, per Reuters, as assistant to the president and as director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison. Her chief responsibilities included talking trash about other White House officials and making Kelly spectacularly mad — oh, and apparently recording everyone without their consent. Read more…

Omarosa’s latest White House recording sounds alarm bells across Twitter

sudshr47 August 12, 2018

Omarosa Manigault shared one of her much-talked-about White House recordings with Meet the Press viewers on Sunday and it raises some terrifying possibilities.

When Manigault was fired from her White House post in Dec. 2017, she recorded her sitdown with Gen. John Kelly, Donald Trump’s chief of staff, who broke the news. The meeting happened in the White House Situation Room, located in the West Wing’s basement.

Manigault claims to have made multiple recordings during her time in the White House — transcripts of which appear in her upcoming book, Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House. This Kelly recording is the first one she’s actually shared publicly. Read more…

Give Omarosa credit for this: she made General Kelly’s life hell

sudshr47 December 14, 2017

The reign of Omarosa Manigault Newman is officially over, and everyone has the same question: What the hell did she do every day?

On Wednesday, former White House Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison Omarosa Manigault officially “resigned” — or was fired, depending on your source. What is evident is that she appears to have left on explosively antagonistic terms, according to America’s top Omarosa Manigault reporter, April Ryan.

Before we get into the details of her departure, it’s important that we record her history for internet posterity. With Manigault gone and the Mooch fired, it might be a long time before we get this kind of trashy Beltway drama again. Read more…
