he's fucking crazy as they come.
According to one of Shermans sources, Trump told advisers that he wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions to have Manigault Newman arrested despite the fact that its unclear what law Trump believes she broke.
One former Trump White House official said that Trumps fury at Omarosa was setting him on a death spiral similar to the one that engulfed his campaign in the summer of 2016 when he attacked a Gold Star father who was critical of his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.
Two former White House officials also tell Sherman that Omarosa has been masterful in the roll out of her book, as it seems her every move is designed purposefully to make Trump explode with rage.

(38,427 posts)...He doesn't know it, but he will lose. First Amendment out ranks Mr. Trump.
Here are the exact words:.. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
That is what they wrote a while back..Madison, and Jefferson..and some others that Donwald doesn't know about.
But the courts know about it. Donwald doesn't have a clue..too stupid to play the game "CLUE"..FAR TOO STUPID.

(1,990 posts)When The Trump announces he fired Jeff Sessions for not arresting Omarosa?
I've been telling people for over a year, that at some point, Trump is going to issue a demand that will not and can not be fulfilled. IMO, that is when it "all ends".

(58,785 posts)Please let it stay directed at her. Scary to wonder what else he could do, though. As long as he needs to schmooze his base, those groups they're part of are probably relatively safe.
But what might he do if his unhappiness with increasing "betrayal" by right-wing voters turned into a full-blown rage against the people? I feel pretty darned sure he already indulges spite against us in various ways. Has to. He doesn't get pleasure from exercising power for good.

(40,211 posts)could very well be a violation of campaign finance laws. You are not allowed to use campaign funds for hush money nor can you use it pay people for phony no-show jobs.

(7,447 posts)Nah...massive stuff, no.
But the slow drip is freaking them the f out which means they fear she has bigger stuff.
She may also be trying to drop the more important things with each drop as opposed to dropping the biggest stuff first.
The pattern so far at least seems to be slightly worse stuff each time.

(24,412 posts)There's a year and half worth of recordings she could have made and they can't possibly remember every comment and/or conversation.

(7,447 posts)they freak out...or even better, a couple of self-owns.
She is very skillful and strategic. So far she has been very impressive. Also there are people in the White House who know what she knows and they've are probably freaking out. There could still be some surprises to come.

Only if you wake us up when you present evidence that was on the menu for today.

(7,286 posts)There is more than a handful of posters dissing her for various reasons and calling her names just like Trump does
And yeah there are about 4 dismissing the tapes as nothing, yet Trump is so enraged about them he wants her arrested
Interesting dynamic, almost like reality TV

(34,452 posts)Whether she has shared information that will be significant. She has the right to do whatever she wants to promote her book. If it helps bring down Cheeto, great.
dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)She knows enough about him to use hints and suggestions that certainly seem to push his paranoid buttons.
Given what we have seen and heard of his public behavior the last 2 years, there's gotta be a lot of crap he has said and done in his off camera moments.
Or what he thought were private moments.
Very helpful that he is so monumentally stupid he does not get the implications of his reactions to perceived threats.

(34,452 posts)I just hope that she was able to give Mueller's team some info it will find useful.

(40,211 posts)that Trump would send out the secret police to arrest Brennan and everyone else who opposed him if he thought he could get away with it.
Trump is a tyrant. He is also insane. That is where we are at in America right now.

(15,805 posts)extrajudicial revenge whims? He certain has lots to pick from between the gun lovers, former Blackwater soldiers, the armed militia fans, his Russian friends, and white power thugs. If Trump wants Omarosa silenced, someone will make sure that happens. Trump wants Sessions to resign; no problemo, someone will make sure he understands his options. If Trump wants Mueller disappeared, his off the books goons will see to it.

(5,810 posts)As successful. I can only imagine how angry he is and will continue to be as she rolls out what she has. I am sure he is regretting her dismissal because she is now executing her revenge. He messed with the wrong person when he decided to strong arm her. He may have met the female version of himself that HE helped to create. This is better than fiction. One hell of a movie is coming.
