WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says Omarosa Manigault Newman — one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent African-American supporters — plans to leave the administration next month.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Manigault Newman’s resignation is effective Jan. 20, one year since Trump’s inauguration.

Manigault Newman’s decision comes at the start of what’s expected to be a round of departures heading into the new year.

The White House announced last week that deputy national security adviser Dina Powell will leave the administration early next year.

Hmmm, I wonder who is next?!

[Zoonart]

1. Yep... all going to take a walk.

They stayed long enough to get their tax break and now they will take a powder. I hope someone is counting the silverware.

2. Good riddance!

Omarosa has been paid $179,000 (the highest level of staff salary) FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. She should have NEVER even been brought into the White House.

24. Smart person, nice looking, POC, and loyal to Trump

That's worth $179K per year do't you think?

[Raster]

25. a relatively high paid professional tRumpian* sycophant...

...nice work if you can get it, I suppose.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. Trump, family and friends are laughing their assess off that you have to work two

jobs just so you dont freeze in the winter and they are spending your money like it is play money.

These are deeply vicious traitors who are actively engaged in trying to END your life.

3. I smell the conspiracy item is getting a little close, or they can't afford their

attorney fees that are coming.................

[FakeNoose]

22. I doubt she was in on the conspiracy

Omarosa strikes me as one of those women who are smart to play "dumb" and play along. She's made a lot of dough working for Trump so she should have a nice nest-egg saved up. Time to get her own TV talk show, she can be the next Oprah or something.

4. "Prominent"?

7. Sounds right

Kelly must of tired of her bullshit.

Sucks to be her, she's not gonna replace that salary.

[PatSeg]

8. Well

That sounds more plausible than Sanders version.

On Omarosa's exit: I just talked to sources who tell me Omarosa was let go yesterday and that she was escorted off of the White House grounds by security. They say she is now calling friends saying that she left voluntarily because her year anniversary was coming up.

13. What was the drama about? Serious enough to require

an escort out of the building.

[Ms. Toad]

28. Apparently screaming and cursing, and not voluntarily leaving

(i.e. being physically removed).

[Irish_Dem]

29. More drama than West Wing TV show. More like The Sopranos. nt

[snooper2]

9. rumor I'm hearing is she was sloshed on red wine and pissed herself in McMaster's office

Just rumors so far LOL

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Perhaps whine. . . . nt

12. More gossip:

Sources say General Kelly did the firing and Omarosa is alleged to have acted very vulgar and cursed a lot and said she helped elect President Trump. The word is a General Kelly had it and got rid of her.

[Irish_Dem]

14. She sounds just like Trump. Vulgar, cursing, and bragging. nt

[DBoon]

16. I would think those are qualifications to work with Trump

not grounds for termination

[Irish_Dem]

17. Exactly. But she must have done something to irritate Trump.

I guess we will find out soon enough.

18. TWITTER: Omarosa wanted a cabinet position and blamed Kelly for not getting it

Link to tweet

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. She thinks she deserves a cabinet post???

Wow - at least the dumb looking cabinet members like Perry and Carson have succeeded in politics and surgery. She is a reality TV star. She's lucky to have held on to Trump's coattails for this long and got into the White House. To think she ought to be higher is the Dunning-Kruger syndrome at its worst.

[moonscape]

20. And a bad reality star at that. She was hated

by everyone but 45.

Figures.

[FakeNoose]

23. She was nice looking and loyal

That's all that matters to Cheeto. The fact that she's also a POC helped, I'm sure.
Omarosa took advantage of the situation and got a nice paycheck while it lasted.

Time to get her own TV talk show or something. Oprah did it, why shouldn't she?

[FakeNoose]

26. None of the Cabinet secretaries are qualified for anything

... and they don't do shit. Omarosa probably thought she would fit right in.

My guess is Hope Hicks wants a raise, so somebody else has to get laid off.
Just sayin'

[matt819]

15. It will be interesting

to see if any of these buffoons put this experience on their resumes. Or if they'll leave it out and explain the gap only if asked.

Hmmm. . . 2017. . . Let me think. No, I don't believe that was me at the White House. Republican politics? You're kidding me, right?
Never heard of this Bannon guy. Working for the buffoon-in-chief? Ewww. . . Not me. I was on sabbatical. Yep, that's it. Researching turtles in the Galapagos Island. Writing a history of political movements in Sweden from 1800-1820. Always been an interest of mine. Playing AA ball in Taos, NM. At an artists' retreat in Minnesota. You don't buy any of that? How 'bout spending a year in a Tibetan Monastery? That's a winner. Tibetan Monastery.

30. "I see a gap on your resume during Trump's administration."

"What were you doing then?"

"Ummm... uh... I was shooting heroin and offering sexual favors for pocket change behind the local strip club."

"That's good. To be frank, we were afraid you might have actually WORKED for Trump during this time."

(laughs nervously) "No... No, of course not."

[YOHABLO]

31. Oh don't you know Sarah H Sanders will be resigning soon also. She can no long live with herself
