Did Trump fire Omarosa because of black voter turnout... (Original Post) lame54 Dec 2017 OP
That's what I speculated BumRushDaShow Dec 2017 #1
she has gotten some bad press recently, mostly about no one knowing what she does. unblock Dec 2017 #5
Right. She did spent a lot of time planning her wedding though. You gotta give her that. brush Dec 2017 #8
For people like her, there is no such thing as "bad press". BumRushDaShow Dec 2017 #9
Right, she will go on to cash in on her notoriety. unblock Dec 2017 #13
Yup but it will be brief BumRushDaShow Dec 2017 #18
frankly, i think she peter principled herself as a game show contestant. unblock Dec 2017 #20
it is mind-boggling that we have to even consider that this might actually be the reason. unblock Dec 2017 #2

She's a Black woman, only 3% of whom voted for Trump in AL. Those #s are why they hired/fired her. FreepFryer Dec 2017 #16

But probably because of a bunch of things. I didn't think she would would have even stayed this long and she is just like him... but HE is allowed to act like a diva and throw tantrums but she is NOT, and was basically told that.
