Trump lashes out at 'Wacky Omarosa' over secret White House recordings: 'Vicious, but not smart'

President Donald Trump lashed out at former White House aide Omarosa Manigault-Newman after she revealed secret recordings made during her time working for the government.

Manigault claims that Trump used racist language, was mentally incompetent and generally unaware of activity in the White House — and the president bashed his former cast mate on NBC’s “The Apprentice” reality show.

“Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time,” Trump tweeted. “She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard.”

I am curious as to if she had an affair with him. They seemed to be a very close over an extended period of time and given his proclivity to screw anything in sight.

I knew the rest.

I don't think there would have been an affair but I think it may have been more mutual power-tripping. For centuries, there has always been an odd relationship between white men and black women - perhaps because he metaphorically represented the European patriarchy and she metaphorically represented the African matriarchy - both in control of those hierarchical governing systems.

who crosses him "Low IQ" or "not smart", particularly women?

It's small and petty and very insulting.

Hillary = Crooked
Democrats = Angry
Obama = Deranged
Women = Wacky
Black men = low IQ
Black women = low IQ + wacky

So yeah I wouldn't take it personally but just know that he's a worthless asshole whose only way of "fighting back" is hurling insults and firing people.

Don't listen to the words. Listen to the way he thinks. The mind is a dark cauldron of bitterness and hate.

Over and above all the collusion and incompetence and unfitness and lying and pussy grabbing and peeing in bed, what's horrible about this pathetic human being is the way he thinks. He's almost like a devilish joke. Take everything that's good and worthy and righteous and kind and sympathetic and enlightened and worthy working for to give meaning to our lives. Take away every noble human value and you have the President of the United States. No wonder the country is depressed, slowly being dragged down to this mental hell of insanity and spite.

In the beginning was actually hopeful that he couldn't be so bad, never imaging he would be so much worse. Trump is a mental health crisis on a national scale.

DJT will call anyone a vicious name - it's like the pot calling the kettle black. He is vicious, not smart, retaliatory, uncouth, and I could go on and on. He is a mean, nasty man. If anyone is wacky it's DJT!! The whole world knows it!!

That said, i have no sympathy for Omarosa. She is an opportunist who hitched her wagon to this monster's caravan for fame & fortune. Now that she's fired she's still fishing for opp to profit from it. Birds of a feather...and apparently no honor among thieves once the relationship deteriorates to an unsustainable low.
