Omarosa “Unhinged".

Omarosa  “Unhinged".

On Aug. 14, Gallery Books is releasing “Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House” by Omarosa Manigault Newman.  Another tell all book  about how bad the Trump administration is . We have read Comey , we have read Wolff , and now Newman .  Its a real circus for gossipers.  While the book is already being touted as a juicy tell-all of Manigault-Newman’s brief tenure working with the Trump administration, (1)>>the bombshell recording is said to be extremely revealing.While WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange dumped thousands of pages of documents for the public to make sense of, Manigault Newman — who in an MSNBC interview on Tuesday called herself a whistleblower — is dribbling out bits and pieces in building her case against Trump, cherry-picking the evidence to bolster her own argument and not delivering a full picture. She reiterated that she had witnessed "corruption" during her time in the White House, but when asked for the specifics of what she saw, she replied that "there are things I'm going to save to share when the time is right."  Rumors of a tape of Trump saying the n-word have existed for years, but were recently reignited,  then the host of The Apprentice, was caught on a mic using the epithet “multiple times.” Earlier this week, CBS News also obtained a recording from Manigault-Newman in which several Trump campaign staffers can be heard discussing the potential fallout of such a tape, although they stop short of actually confirming that one exists.  Trump himself issued a fiery statement upon the book's release Tuesday morning, calling his former adviser and "The Apprentice" star "a crazed, crying lowlife" and a "dog." "When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!" he wrote on Twitter.   Even more so Omarosa's tell all sounds more like a tabloid with some of the most outrageous stuff ever leaked out of the Trump White House. Here are the main takeaways from Omarosa – who, despite her villainous reputation from NBC’s "The Apprentice," where she first met Trump in 2003, portrays herself as a voice of reason and sanity in chaotic Trumpworld: She now believes the president to whom she was loyal for 14 years is “a racist, a bigot and a misogynist.” His biggest personality flaw is a complete lack of empathy for others, she writes. She believes the president is in “mental decline” and physically unwell. (2)>>She believes Vice President Mike Pence (a “Stepford Vee”) and his team “are simply biding their time until Trump is impeached or resigns.”  She believes a deeply unhappy first lady Melania Trump “is counting every minute until (her husband) is out of office and she can divorce him.” It gets crazier , now there are videos A source “with direct knowledge of the records” told the AP that (3)>>Newman also has a “stash of video, emails, text messages and other documentation” that support the many eye-opening claims she makes in the book. Later Thursday, a lawyer for the Trump campaign sent a letter to Simon and Schuster, the publisher of Manigault Newman's book, alleging she was in violation of an agreement she had signed with the Trump campaign and saying that the publisher and others would face claims should it proceed with selling the book. Simon and Schuster responded by saying it was proceeding and was acting "well within its rights." After all, if it’s strictly Manigault-Newman herself claiming to be a witness, and there was no one else to corroborate it, then it’s strictly a he-said-she-said and there’s no way to know for sure.But often people who tell tall tales can’t resist the temptation to make them taller, and that’s where they tend to get in trouble.    In a PBS interview earlier in the week, Manigault Newman had said, “I have a significant amount, in fact, a treasure trove, of multimedia backup for everything that’s not only in “Unhinged,” but everything that I assert about Donald Trump.” UNLESS we hear and see the tapes these are just allegations . Bringing down Donald Trump is going to take a lot more than writing a book , going on TV and making money as much as it is a publicity stunt for the marketing of books with alleged accusations . Like the Comey tell all book for example , that book while it focused on Trump , it really was a public image disaster for the FBI . The FBI's own credibility too took a dive in another direction in  the Mueller investigation . So with this new book with all the shocking details that Manigault Newman "claims" she still has to present the burden of proof using a proper legal channel and not the American tabloid media..


NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>the bombshell recording .Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," which aired a tape the former star of "The Apprentice" recorded in the Situation Room of White House chief of staff John Kelly talking to her about "leaving" her role in the Trump administration. The tape has raised concerns that Manigault Newman breached national security protocol by taking a recording device into what is supposed to be among the most secure parts of the presidential complex.(2)>>She believes Vice President Mike Pence (a “Stepford Veep”) Staging a political coup is vary easy , VP Mike Pence is waiting for the opportunity to fill in Trump's shoes as soon as Trump gets into serious trouble [ see my past post on Mike Pence https://theun-politics.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-curious-silence-of-mike-pence.html ] Vice President Mike Pence is one of the most odd ball figures in ever so dwindling Trump administration cabinet .  Pence is often seen in the background silent and mysterious part of Trump's administration . AS I wrote about my suspicions are that Mike Pence is really the Power behind Trump's oxymoron lack of political experience , perhaps his peer coach to "act like a President" . While Trump's Apprentice style White House antics are wild , gives the Media & Press its food , makes Trump a complete embarrassment to Mike Pence who is straight faced. (3)>>Newman also has a “stash of video, emails, text messages and other documentation”Shortly after the election, actor Tom Arnold claimed to have some sort of compromising footage of Trump in his possession, but that footage was never released. Arnold is currently promoting Viceland’s The Hunt for the Trump Tapes, a TV series premiering in September.attention to the alleged Trump n-word tape earlier in August, when the Guardian reported that the ex-White House aide’s new book referred to the president as a “racist” who used the term repeatedly.
