No one is surprised that Omarosa Manigault Newman’s new tell-all book is gossipy, salacious, and full of questionable or false allegations. What’s baffling, though, is how a woman who built a career on her closeness and loyalty to President Trump could now knock off Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., as the president’s archnemesis.
Omarosa told the Hollywood Reporter in 2016, “Look at my career, the wealth and exposure that I’ve had; it’s very difficult to make the argument that Donald Trump doesn’t like black people and black women.” Last week, she changed her tune in reference to an alleged N-word tape saying, “Once I heard it for myself, 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.”
