We love the tell-alls

Sometimes we don't believe it all, but I'm guessing most of the crazy shit people say about Trump is true.

Omarosa Manigault Newman was offered a $15,000-a-month contract from President Trump’s campaign to stay silent after being fired from her job as a White House aide by Chief of Staff John F. Kelly last December, according to a forthcoming book by Manigault Newman and people familiar with the proposal.

But she refused, according to the incendiary new book, “Unhinged: An Insider Account of the Trump White House,” which also depicts Trump as unqualified, narcissistic and racist.

[...]

After she was fired, Manigault Newman wrote, she received a call from Trump campaign adviser Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, offering her a job and the monthly contract in exchange for her silence.

  

You just know that Lara, who is getting a divorce from Junior, knows shit she's getting paid handsomely not to tell.

The proposed nondisclosure agreement allegedly said Manigault Newman could not make any comments about President Trump or his family; Vice President Pence or his family; or any comments that could damage the president.

Obviously this woman is not so stupid as people might have wanted to believe. As for integrity, all bets are off.  But she's gonna get bulldozed.

In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the book “is riddled with lies and false accusations.” She added: “It’s sad that a disgruntled former White House employee is trying to profit off these false attacks, and even worse that the media would now give her a platform, after not taking her seriously when she had only positive things to say about the President during her time in the administration.”

Well, there IS that argument.

Manigault Newman does not offer evidence for some of her most explosive charges but extensively taped her conversations in the White House.

Seems like everybody who knew Trump taped their conversations.

Manigault Newman includes in the book specific quotes from White House aides. She describes many scenes inside the White House in detail — explaining who was in the room and exactly what was said.

And, lordy, there's tape.

Manigault Newman has known Trump for more than a decade and held one of the highest-paid positions in the West Wing for a year, securing the job as an “assistant to the president” after starring as a famed villain in his TV show, “The Apprentice,” and working for the Trump Organization.

[...]

Manigault Newman, who was the highest-ranking black employee in the White House, calls Trump a “racist, misogynist and bigot.”

[...]

[She] is expected to appear on “Meet the Press” Sunday morning and will then go on a longer publicity tour.

With bodyguards, we hope.

She questions Trump’s mental state, describes him as unstable and portrays him as unable to control his impulses. She recounts the extensive lengths that staff members have gone to in attempts to keep him in line.

“All we need to remember is that Trump loves the hate,” she writes in the book. “He thrives on criticism and insults. He delights in chaos and confusion. Taking to Twitter to call him names only fuels him and riles his base. To disarm him, starve his ego; don’t feed into it.”

Too late.

White House aides have long described Manigault Newman as a problematic employee who tried to stage a wedding photo shoot at the White House, exploded at other West Wing aides and left shoes strewn around the West Wing. For months, they accurately feared that she was taping conversations inside the building. In the eyes of many around Trump, the book is another publicity-grabbing stunt from a reality TV star known for them.

All no doubt true. And hilarious. But if she's got tapes, it will be hard to argue.  I'm not expecting Trump to do much, if any, tweeting about Omarosa's book. I think he'll be afraid of what he might have said on the tapes.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Aaaaaand, there it is.

It won't matter.

Except maybe to the illegitimate children.

UPDATE 8/13:

Boy, was I wrong about Trump...

He called her a lowlife, and now he's tweeting:

Apparently, she didn't think it mattered.

Aaaaaand, what was that you said to her immediately after she got fired?

UPDATE  8/14:

Dear God!

Waiting for him to call her the N-word on Twitter before someone can get him under control.

President Trump blasted his firstborn son as a “f--kup” after learning he had released emails about a controversial Trump Tower meeting attended by a Kremlin-connected lawyer who had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton, according to Omarosa Manigault Newman’s forthcoming book.

Manigault Newman, who was unceremoniously fired from the White House last December, says the President erupted in anger after she met with him in July 2017 and told him she was “sorry to hear” Donald Trump Jr. had posted screen grabs on Twitter of his email exchanges with British publicist Rob Goldstone.

“He is such a f--kup,” Trump said of his son, according to Manigault Newman’s tell-all book, a copy of which was obtained by the Daily News. “He screwed up again, but this time, he’s screwing us all, big-time!”
