Who would have thought that one day Omarosa Manigault-Newman would use the skills she honed being a b*tch to Janice Dickinson on The Surreal Life to take down the President of the United States. (And while we’re at it, who would have thought that President of the United States would be her former boss, Donald Trump?) In case you’ve been living under a rock that doesn’t have Twitter, Omarosa is currently out here stanning hard for her new book Unhinged (wonder who that’s referring to) about her time in the White House, and she’s backing it up with the surreptitiously recorded receipts. That’s right, Omarosa recorded Trump in the White House, and the result is a series of newly released tapes that honestly make everyone look bad.
In the first set of tapes, our girl Omarosa set the scene by releasing a recording of herself being fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly in which he says she committed “serious ethics violations” and basically refuses to sit with her for more than 5 minutes or answer any of her questions. How this doesn’t count as a devastating self-own, I’m not sure, but either way the tape is juicy af.

And if you thought secretly recorded audio of the White House Chief of Staff in the goddamn Situation Room was the shadiest part of this story, then you forgot we’re dealing with one of reality TV’s most preeminent villains.
(Side note: Props to Omarosa for her commitment to never giving up her phone, even when it is literally national security protocol to do so. You truly put the “dick” in “phone addiction.”)
Now Omarosa has come out with a second tape, and this one is of none other than her former boss, Donald Trump. The student has become the master.
The new set of tapes show President Trump being totally two-faced shocked to hear that Omarosa was leaving the White House and acting like John Kelly hadn’t told him anything about it. Omarosa says that after the recorded phone call, Trump told her that he “delegated” her termination, and that she’s pretty sure he was bullshitting when he acted so surprised.

“Nobody even told me about it,” Trump said. “You know, they run a big operation, but I didn’t know that. Goddamn it!” pic.twitter.com/W2dTYFxiru

Hmm…try not to slip in all the tea that’s been spilled here. In response to all the drama, our distinguished president had this to say:
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….

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!

Now feels like a good time to mention that Omarosa also claims the White House is hiding the president’s “mental decline” and that he is “unable to process complex information.” I guess it’s safe to say that this season of the White House is going to be the most dramatic season ever.
Shit. I got my reality shows confused…
