Trump called Montenegro's leader a 'whiny punk b---h,' uses a tanning bed every day and other bizarr


Nearly a week after excerpts of “Unhinged” were first leaked, Omarosa Manigault Newman’s tell-all tome is still spawning damning news stories about President Trump, some painting him as a mentally ill narcissist and others detailing alleged tapes of his using the N-word.

Interspersed with the possibly politically devastating aspects of “Unhinged” are eye-opening and bizarre details about how Manigault Newman says the President behaves when the cameras are off.

The Daily News obtained a copy of the ex-White House aide’s book ahead of its official release Tuesday.
Scorn for Montenegro

Trump stunned diplomats and foreign affairs observers last month when he accused Montenegro — a tiny Balkan nation — of being populated by “very aggressive people” who could start “World War III.”

Some tied Trump’s off-color comment to the infamous moment at last year’s NATO summit in Brussels when he shoved Montenegrin Prime Minister Dusko Markovic to get in front of him during a photo-op.

Manigault Newman alleges Trump definitely holds a grudge against Markovic.

“I asked him, ‘You came off a little aggressive. Why did you do that?’” Manigault Newman recalls asking Trump after the shoving moment in Brussels.

“Oh, he’s just a whiny punk b---h,” Trump fired, referring to Markovic, according to Manigault Newman.
Sticking to his guns

The National Rifle Association funneled millions of dollars into efforts to get Trump elected and he has returned the favor by pushing for laxer gun laws since taking office. But little is known about Trump’s own relationship with firearms.

Manigault Newman claims Trump once told her about the matter.

“The President and I talked about guns on that flight, and I learned that he owned a .45 caliber Heckler & Koch pistol and a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver,” the ex-“Apprentice” contestant writes of her first time onboard Air Force One en route back to Washington from an NRA convention in Atlanta in April 2017.

A White House spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
Creepy Ivanka comments

Trump has made a number of eyebrow-raising comments about his daughter, Ivanka, over the years, including once saying he would consider dating her if she wasn’t his child.

Manigault Newman said Trump went to extraordinarily creepy lengths while talking about Ivanka with KISS bassist Gene Simmons during production of the “Celebrity Apprentice” in 2007.
