Omarosa: We Acted Like Friends!

Omarosa Manigult-Newman speaks out against her old boss.
Omarosa Manigult-Newman now turns against Donald J. Trump.

She has a book coming out and it seems like she's going to share her experience working with him during their time on The Apprentice and at the White House.

In an interview with NPR, the former reality television star and White House liaison shares some dirty about her former friend.

She says that Trump is unhinged. She believes he is a racist and sexist. Omarosa said that Trump some inappropriate stuff about people.

She said, "there are tapes."

"Hearing it changed everything for me," former White House aide told NPR on Friday.

Omarosa was referring to what she calls the "N-word tape" — a long-rumored but never surfaced tape of Donald Trump on the set of The Apprentice allegedly using the racial slur. In her interview with NPR's Rachel Martin, Manigault Newman claims to have heard the tape and heard Trump using that slur on the tape.

But that's not what it says in her tell-all book, Unhinged, due out on Tuesday.

When asked by Martin about the discrepancy during the interview, Manigault Newman insisted Martin must not have read the book (she had) and pointed to a section at the very end of it.

But in that section, Manigault Newman doesn't actually describe hearing the tape. She writes of calling one of her "sources" who had a lead on the "N-word tape."

In Unhinged, Manigault Newman writes as both a Trump world insider, overjoyed at his election, and as a voice of the liberal resistance airing concerns about his rhetoric, policies and mental state.

Omarosa is considered shady by the White House.
Wonderful woman she be...
The once-loyal Trump aide, who often appeared on cable news defending her boss and singing his praises, was dismissed from the White House in December 2017; now, she says he is a racist, misogynist and may have dementia. Among other things, the book also claims Trump wanted to take the oath of office on a copy of The Art Of the Deal rather than the Bible and that she saw him swallow a piece of paper after an Oval Office meeting with his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen. The book represents an effort to repair her reputation and settle scores with her former colleagues.

"I had a blind spot where Trump was concerned," she writes, later explaining that in her effort to help Trump win the election, "I focused my mind and energies on short-term Trump problems, which allowed me to avoid thinking about my own long-term Trump problem of having given him the benefit of the doubt for more than a decade, despite having many reasons not to."

Asked why she has now turned on Trump, Omarosa told Martin it wasn't turning on him as much as putting the country first.

"I made a commitment to uphold the values of this country and unfortunately being a part of this administration, I was very complicit with actually undermining those things, and I regret that," she said in the interview.

Even I have to question some of the stuff. Omarosa endorsed Trump despite his comments. She was the standout Black supporter of Trump.

Yeah, I know that Trump is a racist. I see it everyday whenever he says stuff about people of color, Muslims, immigrants and those in the LGBTQ community.
