More tidbits about Omarosa's "Unhinged" - from The Independent
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-omarosa-book-summary-review-latest-tweets-white-house-unhinged-a8493286.htmlThe n-word story is far from the only racist outburst that Trump is accused of
Omarosa gives a bleak look at what she claims are Mr Trump's views on race. At one point, she is talking about George Conway – Kellyanne's husband, and an outspoken and regular critic of his on Twitter.
"I was in the Oval with Donald and he picked up an article about George Conway's counterpunch adn ranted, 'Would you look at this George Conway article? F**king FLIP! Disloyal! Fucking Goo-goo.'
"I was told later that 'Goo-goo' and 'FLIP,' an acronym for 'f**cking little island people,' are racial slurs for Filipinos. George Conway is half Filipino. I had no idea what he meant when he'd said those words."

Donald Trump can't really read
Omarosa notes that Trump has a tendency to read very slowly – that, in fact, his slow delivery was one of the reasons why his address to the joint session of congress had been so well received. But that might be because he can't actually read very quickly, his former aide suggests.
She says that he is not wholly illiterate but reads "at an eight- or ninth-grade level". He struggled to read the documents he needed to, and she says that he has "never read from beginning to end any of the major pieces of legislation, policies or even some of these executive orders that he has signed".

Pence just waiting to be president
At one point, relatively late in the book, Omarosa talks about taking a trip with Mike Pence to the United States Military Academy at West Point. But it's not the day's events that catches her eye – it's the vice president's comments.
She says that in private people said to him things like "When we're in charge...", or "Once you become president...". When she pressed him, he refused to say whether he had ambitions for office after Donald Trump had finished.

They are destabilizing to an already unstable President.
