President Donald Trump repeatedly lashed out at Omarosa Manigault Newman on Monday. This after she revealed a secret recording she made of a conversation with him.

In describing her as “wacky”, the President said: “”Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time,” he wrote on Twitter. “She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart.”
In a followup tweet, Trump added that after Chief of Staff John Kelly told him that Omarosa was a “loser,” he instructed Kelly to “try working it out, if possible.”
Trump then issued another tweet calling Omarosa a “lowlife”.
Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard….

…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!

While I know it’s “not presidential” to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and I know the Fake News Media will be working overtime to make even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate as possible. Sorry!

Omarosa is an American reality television show participant and Trump’s former political aide. She first came to public attention in 2004 after becoming a participant on the first season of NBC’s reality television series, The Apprentice.
In January 2017, Omarosa was appointed as Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison. In December 2017, the White House announced the resignation of Omarosa, effective January 20, 2018. The United States Secret Service did not deny reports that Omarosa had been forcibly removed from the White House grounds in December last year, but said that the agency was not involved in the termination process or escorting or removing Omarosa from the White House complex.
The CNN White House correspondent April Ryan later reported that White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly fired Omarosa. Omarosa however, disputed the account insisting that she resigned. She taped her conversation and gave that tape to NBC’s television journalist Chuck Todd to play on his television show.
In February 2018, Omarosa publicly criticized the Trump administration on the reality television program Celebrity Big Brother, and stated that she would not vote for Trump again.
Omarosa has written a book titled ‘Unhinged’, which is deeply critical of President Trump. The book is set to be released on August 14, 2018. She labels Trump a “racist” in the book, and states that witnesses have confirmed the existence of tapes of Trump repeatedly using the word “nigger” during filming of The Apprentice.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that the book is “riddled with lies and false accusations”, and accused Omarosa of “trying to profit off these false attacks”.
Omarosa said that she had turned down an offer of a $15,000 per month “senior position” in the Trump 2020 re-election campaign, which came with a non-disclosure agreement that was as “harsh and restrictive” as she had seen in her television career.
