Trump Wanted to Be Sworn-In With "Art of the Deal"

Trump Wanted to Use His Own Book for His Swearing-In

Manigault Newman claims Trump wanted to use his own business book at the swearing-in ceremony rather than the bible.

“He asked me, ‘Omarosa, what do you think about me getting sworn in on The Art of the Deal?’” Manigault Newman writes.

“I said, ‘Instead of the Bible?’” she allegedly said.

“Yeah. The Art of the Deal is a bestseller!” Trump replied, according to her account. “It’s the greatest business book of all time. It’s how I’m going to make great deals for the country. Just think how many copies I’d sell—maybe a commemorative inauguration copy?!”

She said he then played it off as a joke but she knew he was serious.

Nothing is too outrageous to believe of Trump. But if it's from this swamp creature slithering her slimy way to back toward wealth and power, I just can't.

Grab the shovel and cut her head off.

I believe her "truth telling" as much as I believe Trump's.

She's the same person who said "Let me just tell you, Mr. Trump has a long memory and we're keeping a list," so I'm not particularly interested in anything she has to say, and I'm reluctant to believe a single word she utters.
