1. Omarosa is a shameless self-promoter, a grifter and a drama queen.

She's a whole lot like her ex-boss -- except that she's much smarter and sneakier. So far she's been able to back up at least some of her claims with recordings, so there's that.

...how you feeling about your ears. You trust what you're hearing ?

Strip away the ballyhoo around the presentation and timing of the tapes (as well as who benefits) and just listen to the content. If you believe that the content is real (which I do) then I can easily look past my questions about Omarosa. As long as you're not concerned that somehow these are duped tapes, made through the audio version of Photoshop...then I'm going with the content.

8. All the interesting stuff will be in the papers and on the net, so you don't need to buy

the book. I wouldn't want to give her money, so I won't buy it. Besides, I am sure most of it will be tedious rehashing of old news and endless self-justification. Anything worth reading will be made public.

10. I won't read the book. Our brains store lies as knowledge.

I've experienced that personally, being unable to remember from what source I read something and whether it was supposed to be true or not. Eventually as it fades it'll usually be retrieved from our fund of knowledge without the wondering. We're being deluged with deception from all directions these days. Big no to knowingly doing it to myself.

Some people undoubtedly have greater protection from excellent memories, but commentary will have to be enough for me.

7. I don't trust her at all--but when she has actual evidence, then I believe the claims
