The Omarosa episode: a work, or a shoot?

Terminology from pro wrestling: a shoot is an unscripted, unplanned event, while a work is a scripted and planned event.

So, is Omarosa doing Trump's work for him right now (work) or is this something Trump never meant to happen (shoot)?

If the stuff about "The Apprentice" is true, she knew more about what she was getting into than she said. I think that working for Trump was a career move. If his Presidency tanked, as it is doing, she'd turn around and write a tell-all. No failure, no book. What else has she got to do?

Omerosa had other plans. She's probably had consultation on how to coordinate this for max effect and $$$$$$.
