3. It is a bit delicious that she's using his own tactics against him...

His "creation" has turned on him. A good bit of karma there.

(and yes, to those who think this is an orchestrated diversion... I considered that too, but I really think this is genuine)

9. She really is beautiful, but most people don't even see how pretty she is

because they are so repulsed by her personality.

But she is, as you say, both attractive and educated, as well as articulate and clever--far more articulate than most of the people interviewing her, which is why she so easily controls the interviews. For example, she really yanked hard on Chuck Todd's leash whenever he tried to challenge her on his show. He never had a chance.

It's too bad that so much talent and intelligence is so misdirected into sleazy self-promotion and into attacks on decent people (like April Ryan). Right now she is going after people who deserve it, but in the past she was working for the dark side, so her targets were people with far more character and integrity than she has.

The evil regime must be exposed and brought down.

5. I like the way she holds the tapes back, so the idiots come out loud about how

they didn't say what she claims, and then releases just one to prove they are lying. She waits to give them enough time to set themselves up.

I also like that by releasing just the one needed to smack down the specific liars of the day she keeps their mendacity in the news along with the original transgression the tape reveals.

7. Trump repeatedly made the mistake

of surrounding himself with people as rotten and devious as he is. I think Omarosa out-Trumped Trump. Unlike Donald, she was playing the long game. I don't like or trust her, but I think pretty much everything she's said is probably true. When I saw her on Velshi and Ruhle yesterday, she was extremely calm and poised. She had been planning this for a long time. I wouldn't want her as an enemy.

Watching Trump freak out is very satisfying and I don't think she's done.

10. He had a show called the Apprentice

And he taught her how to play the game.

Smart and mean and devious wins the game.

She learned well.

He wasn't smart enough to realize that people could eventually use the game against him. His big bloated ego obscured his vision. Omarosa is no one's fool. The women in his life could be the ones who bring him down.
