Trump Responds To Omarosa’s Latest Tape

Omarosa dropped another tape today, which revealed that President Trump was caught off guard by John Kelly’s decision to essentially fire Omarosa.

“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.

It is a big operation over there, and Trump has bigger fish to fry, so I guess I could see how he wouldn’t know about that. Keep in mind that this occurred around the same time that the White House leaks were getting BAAAAD. So maybe– just maybe– Trump was careful with his reaction and lied to Omarosa about being bummed about her departure, ’cause he knew she was CRAZY. I have absolutely no idea if that’s true. It’s just a theory. But according to Omarosa, Trump was surprised and bummed, which really throws a wrench in her whole, “Trump is a racist” narrative.

Trump responded to the Omarosa drama a few days ago by calling her a “lowlife”…

…and now he’s slamming her on Twitter. She officially has a nickname: “Wacky Omarosa.”

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….

I took a full 23 minutes to get Part 2 of that tweet. Just so you know.

…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!

Basically, he knew she was nasty but tried to give her a chance, and she blew it.

Moral of the story: Just because someone says nice things about you doesn’t mean they’re a good person.
