Omarosa recently dropped audio of the frank discussion John Kelly had with her. She suggests that Kelly basically “threatened” her, but again. We have the audio, so listen for yourself.
“I think it’s important to understand that if we make this a friendly departure we can all be, you know, you can look at, look at your time here in, in the White House as a year of service to the nation,” Kelly told her. “And then you can go on without any type of difficulty in the future relative to your reputation.”

To me, it sounded like Kelly was legitimately trying to help Omarosa preserve her reputation, which she went on to destroy herself anyway.
Omarosa also reaffirmed that she “heard” the tape of Trump using the n-word.
“It was confirmed what I feared the most: that Donald Trump is a con and has been masquerading as someone who is actually open to engaging with diverse communities, but when he talks that way, the way he did on his tape, it confirmed that he is truly a racist,” she said.

That brings us to this.
Today, Omarosa provided ANOTHER tape. This one is of President Trump finding out that she was essentially fired by Kelly.
“Omarosa, what’s going on?” Trump says in the clip. “I just saw on the news that you’re thinking about leaving. What happened?”
“General Kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave,” Omarosa said.
“No,” Trump said. “Nobody even told me about it. You know, they run a big operation but I didn’t know it. I didn’t know that. Damnit.”
“I don’t love you leaving at all,” he continued.

So let me get this straight: Omarosa’s RACIST boss was surprised and bummed that she was basically instructed to resign? How is that even possible? I thought he was a flaming racist?????
Questions. I have questions.
It is a big operation over there, so I guess I could see how Trump didn’t know about this. Maybe. He has a lot going on.
Either way, John Kelly CLEARLY had a good gut feeling. Omarosa is a straight up CRAZY person. It was the right call.
