Omarosa claims in new book she saw evidence of Trump’s ‘mental decline’
The Hill ^ | 8/2/2018 | Justin Wise

Posted on 08/02/2018 2:24:57 PM PDT by grayboots

Former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman said President Trump's mental decline "could not be denied" while he appeared for an interview with NBC News's Lester Holt in 2017, according to an excerpt in her new book obtained by The Daily Mail.

"'While watching the interview I realized that something real and serious was going on in Donald's brain," she writes in "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," which is set to be released on Aug. 14.

"His mental decline could not be denied.'"

Manigault-Newman added that "many didn't notice it as keenly as I did because I knew him way back when. They thought Trump was being Trump, off the cuff. But I knew something wasn't right." Her comments were published by the Daily Mail over a year after Trump sat down with Holt for an interview that quickly grabbed Washington's attention. Among other things, Trump said that “regardless of recommendation" he was going to fire former FBI Director James Comey.

The White House had previously claimed that a Justice Department recommendation had led to the FBI chief's ouster.

In her book, Manigault-Newman writes that "throughout this erratic and contradictory interview, I kept thinking, 'Oh no! Oh no! This is bad!'"

"Donald rambled. He spoke gibberish. He contradicted himself from one sentence to the next.

“”Donald rambled. He spoke gibberish. He contradicted himself from one sentence to the next.”

Sure Trump rambles but that’s Trump being Trump. I’ve known VP’s like that. Not unusual at all. But Trump is quite focused, disciplined and on a mission to get ‘er done ... and he is NOT out trying to sell a book like this schmuck.

"...Any perceived decline is DJT dumbing down his comments to try to communicate with her..."

Right on, Scrambler Bob. On target.

Besides, anytime I have seen her, she has come across as a mental midget to me. How does she have any room to talk about anyone else? Ah, of course. She is writing a book, and she is attacking Trump, that's why.

The only advice I'd give is this:

I've dealt with guys like President Trump before, and I think a little like he does.

I wouldn't put it past him to have a side deal with "former loyalist" Omarosa to throw the equivalent of large flash-bangs into the enemy camp to get them to "do something".

I'm just sayin' - I might do the same thing. In fact, it would be my first inclination, since they swallow the hook to their large intestine EVERY SINGLE TIME.

If I was a whoreporter, I'd be walking forward VERY slowly on this, just to make sure it wasn't a Trump minefield or ambush.

Consider the source. I knew she was going to be trouble when the president made her part of his team.

4.1% GDP, low unemployment, NATO allies putting up 38 billion more, other countries falling over themselves to offer better trade deals, and winning, and winning, and more winning: that’s the kind of mental decline I’m looking for in a president.

One day Donald Trump told Amarosa, “You’re hired.”

Some months later Donald Trump told Amerosa, “You’re fired.”

This personal insight by Amrarosa is clear evidence that:

A. Trump was wrong to hire her in the first place?

B. Trump finally came to his senses?

C. Amarosa is an unstable trouble-maker, and had to be let go.

D. All the above, and be sure to have a restraining order in place.

Please leave comments, if you have them.

The woman is a classic example of narcissistic behavior disorder. Creepy too.

not as sharp at 72.....


Please don’t ever say that stuff around me.
Trump and I are Geminis born within a few days of each other in 1946.

Please don’t gimme no sass about my intelligence and ability to post some of the wittiest, most articulate messages in this forum. I have set aside false modesty to say that.

On DVDs of 1950s and 1960s series and movies they say “he is 50 years old” and they show a decrepit, nearly drooling, wrinkled, barely alive old person. The 60 year old or 70 year old ones are even worse. Today we do not look or act or dress that way, ignored and guided to sit in a chair in the corner and be quiet while everyone else lives their lives.

The original Social Security funding was predicated upon “no one has a right to expect to live older than age 65.” Not true today. Please get out of my way as I jog past you today.

I think on Apprentice he liked her never backing down from a fight. But, big mistake in judgment, to hire her for Whitehouse. Her ego would make her very risky...proof of the pudding in current book.

Yeah, probably like a step down transformer. President Trump operates at 220 volts, but to communicate with some people, he needs a step down transformer to reduce it to 9 volts.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to have arranged this whole thing with Omarosa, guys.

He's got that much game.

How does this really hurt him, other than with amorphous speculation?

On the other hand, more than some few of the Enemedia will begin the high-speed wobs as their heads spin off, ONCE AGAIN.

If I was loyal to Trump, this would be a GREAT prank to pull on the totally gullible whoreporters - and you'd be laughing all the way to the bank, too - with Trump's blessing.

What does this say about the 17 Republicans Trump was running against... can they still construct sentences?

If not mental decline then what is the excuse for Trump Derangement Syndrome by the left?

Too much marijuana alternating with meth? LSD flashbacks?

Or like the old cartoon of the psychiatrist watching a babbling patient and you can see over his shoulder on his pad where he has written
Just Plain Nuts.

Didn’t think so.
