President Trump Explains Why He’s Tweeting About Omarosa, Even Though It’s ‘Unpresidential’

You know the story. Omarosa released a tape of the conversation she had with President Trump after John Kelly essentially fired her.

“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.

Trump responded to it on Twitter this morning.

Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard….

…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!

So basically, Omarosa was CRAY and everyone hated her, but Trump gave her a chance because she said nice things about him? Moral of the story: Just because someone says nice things about you doesn’t mean they’re a good, trustworthy person.

But wait. There’s MORE. Trump has a message for the people who think it’s not presidential to tweet about Omarosa:

While I know it’s “not presidential” to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so, this is a modern day form of communication and I know the Fake News Media will be working overtime to make even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate as possible. Sorry!

I thought that tweet was really interesting, because Trump isn’t really one to care about what’s “presidential” and what’s not. But I appreciate the clarification, truly. If he added, “PS– Omarosa is a raging seahag lunatic,” I wouldn’t be mad. Just sayin’.
