Omarosa's New Book Claims Trump Wanted To Be Sworn In With 'Art of the Deal'

[spanone]

Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former White House staffer and contestant on “The Apprentice,” claims in a new book set to be released on Tuesday that President Trump had an unprecedented idea for his inauguration.

“He asked me, ‘Omarosa, what do you think about me getting sworn in on “The Art of the Deal?”’ she writes in “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House.”

“I said, ‘Instead of the Bible?’” she continues.

“Yeah. The Art of the Deal is a bestseller!” Trump replied, according to her account. “It’s the greatest business book of all time. It’s how I’m going to make great deals for the country. Just think how many copies I’d sell—maybe a commemorative inauguration copy?!”

Throughout the book—which includes claims that have already been questioned by former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele; George Conway, the wife of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway; and Republican pollster Frank Luntz—Manigault Newman dishes on her years on “The Apprentice,” during which she was “fired” three times, and her brief tenure at the White House.

1. Well, it's not like being sworn in on a Bible made him any more truthful.

[kentuck]

2. I wonder if that is true?

3. Now what was that bit about Thump being a so-called Baby Christian?

I forget Even”atheistic leftists” librul “secular hoomanists” know that sincere converts to the Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have certain texts the put great store by and use to make serious commitments.

Swearing the Oath Of Office on The Art of the Deal???

That rustling sound that reminds most folks of falling leaves is the sound of more right-wing Evangelicals’ credibility crumbling to dust.

6. about Melania's "I don't really care" jacket

The cited article includes Omarosa's interesting speculation:

As the book draws to a close, Newman reflects on more recent events, including the uproar over first lady Melania Trump wearing a jacket with the slogan “I really don’t care. Do U?” for a flight to visit an immigrant children’s shelter.

“It’s my opinion that Melania was forced to go to the border that day in June, essentially, to mop up her husband’s mess,” Manigault Newman theorizes. “She wore that jacket to hurt Trump, setting off a controversy that he would have to fix, prolonging the conversation about the administration’s insensitivity, ruining the trip itself, and trying to make sure that no one asked her to do something like that again.”

“Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce him,” she writes, adding that the first lady sleeps in a separate room from the president who only has “his tanning bed for company.”

That seems as plausible an explanation as any I've heard of the outrageous jacket.

8. unless there is proof, I don't believe anything she says. she is an opportunist.

I don't need to hear from reality tv stars anymore.

[underpants]

9. And. She. Didn't. Head. For. The. Door.

Okay Omarosa.

10. She is a complete opportunist/ self serving only.

She rose to a position where she could make a difference for the racially oppressed and abused by this false president; she has not even tried......She is still bonded with tRump...this is just another opportunity for herself....she is to be shunned...in my opinion.
