After making the rounds on some serious news shows over the past few days, Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s book tour took its next logical step Tuesday night with a stop at The Daily Show.

Trevor Noah scored the first late-night interview with the author of Unhinged since she started publicly flaming her former boss, President Donald Trump. “You are one of the first people who I would say has managed to out-Trump Trump,” the host began, prompting some awkward laughter from his guest.

If Noah didn’t know anything about the president, he said he would assume everything in Omarosa’s book is “wildly untrue,” but instead he said, “It doesn’t seem like there’s anything new in the book,” so “why write it?” On top of that, her credibility has been questioned by friends and foes alike.

Omarosa seemed to take some offense at these suggestions. “They lie to the American people every single day,” she said of the Trump administration, “so it doesn’t surprise me that when they’re faced with the truth, they’ll push back.”
