https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-omarosa-became-the-most-despised-person-in-the-trump-white-houseA penchant for self-aggrandizement, a direct line to Trump, and perpetual internal distractions do not a beloved colleague make. Who knew!?
Omarosa Manigault made her name as one of reality TVs most notorious and hated personalities: the breakout star on season one of Donald Trumps NBC series The Apprentice.
Thirteen-years later, she is in the White House, not on a makeshift television set. But shes still trying to win Trumps favor and she still has the same villainous image she earned on NBC.
According to four sources in and outside the West Wing, the longtime Trump confidant is isolated inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as she quietly plots against her fellow senior officials. Colleagues regularly complain about Manigaults behavior and work ethic. She frequently derails internal meetings with irrelevant or counterproductive interjections and shes earned a reputation for attempting to micromanage White House communications operations.
White House chief of staff John Kelly has tried to curtail Manigaults direct access to the president, as The Daily Beast reported earlier this month. But her continued proximity to Trumphe speaks with her over the phone, even in the middle of the nightunderscores just how thorny her tenure has been for those tasked with managing the administration.

He seemed like such a benevolent person, and I was shocked that he had a relationship with somebody so generally regarded as nastiness personified.

The Green Mile was one of those films I could never rewatch because the first viewing left me a blubbery mess of tears.
And I can cheerily sit through Zombie Apocalypse and interplanetary destruction.

I believe that is in the eye of the beholder.
