Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman on Monday released new tapes of President Trump in a private meeting talking about former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's ties to Russia.
Manigault Newman played the audio recording on ABC's "The View," prefacing it by saying it is from an October 2017 meeting with the White House communications and press teams.
"When Donald Trump got bored, which was very often because his attention span was very short, he would sometimes try to figure out what meetings were taking place in the White House and he would crash those meetings," Manigault Newman said. "This was a meeting with the entire communications staff and the press shop. We were meeting to talk about tax reform or his trip to North Korea."
"He came into the meeting, he sat down, and he starts rambling from topic to topic, none of it makes sense," she said. "And this is in October of last year, so this is … twelve months after the election, and he’s still talking about Hillary Clinton."
In the tape, Trump claims the "real Russia story is Hillary and collusion," a statement that he has made in public multiple times. He alleges the Clinton campaign paid $9 million for an unidentified "phony report."
When White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says it is "closer to six [million]," Trump says she is wrong, adding the money was "spent through a law firm."
"That way, they can't trace it," he says. "But they traced it. One thing in this business is they trace it."
"The reason a law firm is because this way you don’t have to give any papers," he adds. "But they found out, it’s definitely illegal and it’s illegal from a campaign standpoint, from a campaign financing standpoint."
At the end of the tape, Trump looks to his staff for affirmation.
"So the whole Russia thing, I think, seems to have turned around. What do you think, Sarah?" he asks.
"Absolutely," Huckabee Sanders can be heard replying.
Manigault Newman said the tape backs up her claims that Trump is mentally unstable.
The former Trump ally and co-star of reality television show "Celebrity Apprentice" has released multiple tapes from her time in the White House. In one tape, chief of staff John Kelly can be heard firing her in the Situation Room; in another, Trump acts surprised to hear that Manigault Newman has been fired.
She has been releasing the tapes as part of a media blitz following the release of her tell-all White House memoir "Unhinged."
"Do you think y’all knowingly lied to the American people?" one of the "View" hosts, actress Whoopi Goldberg, asked Manigault Newman on the show.
"Absolutely," Manigault Newman replied. "We would have to go out as the comms team and repeat verbatim what you just heard."
The Boss wants to know what's going on and somehow Omarosa and The View girls see this as 'unstable'.
The concept of "Management by Walking Around" goes back to the early 1980s and a book called "In Search of Excellence". In the days when a manager actually managed staff, instead of being their surrogate mommy or daddy during the work day, this book and the principles in it were the standard for up and coming managers. Even though I was non-management, I was strongly encouraged to read the book regardless.
“he would sometimes try to figure out what meetings were taking place in the White House and he would crash those meetings,” Manigault Newman said. “
Yeah?
He’s the “CEO”. He can damn well do that if he feels the need.
And.....? So what's the big deal here?? President Trump is 100% correct.
What was the lie? Be specific Whoopie, because everything he said was true.
Could this woman be any stupider? How does this “prove” POTUS is mentally unfit?
“He would start rambling from topic to topic, none of it would make sense”
She sounds like a first grader sitting in on a college course.
It's almost as if there's something about her that makes people feel compelled to hire her. Wonder what it could be?
Omerosa is a putrid excuse for a human being. That being said...She MIGHT just be helping us here. Never thought I’d see the day when The View askew gals discussed Hillary paying off Steele but that’s exactly what happened without naming names.
I am sure that Hillary cringed despite the fact that all the ire was directed at Trump(as usual).
Is this suppose to hurt Trump ....or Hillary?
Maybe that was her intent. Maybe she's working with POTUS. Who knows?
Just wait. Slutty Stormy is coming on the view next with a new blockbuster. She has an ooh ahh tape she says.
She cares no longer how she must look. She knows she can’ go any lower than she already has.
Skanky slob abandoned her kid too. Good thing for that kid.
looks more like the jerry springer show every day
Lol!! Sounds like Omirosa has a hard time keeping up.
Poor ting.
You are supposed to SEE IT YOURSELF in real time rather than have everyone get prepared for the boss to show up and be all prettied up.
Omarosa just made Trump look awesome!
In the Navy, we call it "management by walking around", as opposed to someone who sits behind their desk sending e-mails and drafting powerpoint slides all day, and has no clue what is happening on the deckplates. Every single good leader I know does this.
