Ex-Trump aide Omarosa Newman pens 'Unhinged' White House memoir

Source: Reuters


Reuters Staff

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House aide and reality television star Omarosa Manigault Newman will chronicle her time in U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration in a memoir to be released Aug. 14, her publisher said Thursday.

Publisher Gallery Books said “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House” will recount Newman’s role in Trump’s political rise, from her campaign trail focus on reaching out to African-American voters to her role in White House communications.

A White House spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the book on Thursday.

Newman, who once worked in U.S. President Bill Clinton’s administration, initially rose to fame as a contestant on Trump’s reality TV show “The Apprentice” in 2004. She worked on his 2016 presidential campaign, during which she said Trump’s detractors would eventually have to “bow down” to him.

Like I needed it to tell me Trump was unhinged. Most of us had already figured that out long before you were telling us that one day we'd be bowing down to him, sister.

Actually that’s pretty much the way it happened. No one in the White House knew what her job was either.

...unless she's got concrete proof of something that will guarantee Chump gets locked up, she's got nothing to say that I want to hear.

but I'll be damned if I buy this one. I wouldn't give this gal a cent, after that "bow down to Dump" crap of hers. If there's anything good in the book, it'll find it's way to us thru natural sources. And it'll be so fun, when Dump goes ballistic on her dumb ass for days on end.

She is very unhinged. I'm also surprised she worked for Bill Clinton. I would gather, in retrospect, that she only took it to be close to the power.

She's a sociopath or psychopath, like Trump. She likes attention and is a mean person that lacks empathy for others. I gather like all good psychopaths she can act. So after the initial rush to her ego of Trump asking her to be a part of his administration, and her reciprocated public adoration, in a way that she knew Trump would appreciate (basically treating him like a wrathful King), and after his early racist comments and behaviour, was taking criticism from the black community who are almost 100% anti-Trump.

So she put on another face for Big Brother, trying to rebrand herself as the poor abused black woman taken advantage of. This line says a lot:

"It also said Newman had little contact with Trump after he took office."

Far from being abused, it was more that she was ignored. That was Trumps real crime towards her. I have no doubt that she would still be singing his praises if he had paid her more attention and she was given a bigger title and a nice budget she could skim off a few nice perks.

The only thing she could say of interest would be if she had sex with him!
