Omarosa: After selecting people like Kelly and Mattis, how did Trump make this choice?

Under normal circumstances, an honest press would refuse to go along with this travesty. They would leave this kind of self-promotion to the scandal sheets. Unfortunately, hating Trump is one of those addictions that you just can't put down.   Silvio Canto, Jr.

Tuning Omarosa Out  "The latest episode of Fire and Fury is on your TV screens.  

"Unlike the book, you won't have to pay $30 for this version.  In fact, you can see for free for the next six weeks on MSNBC.  The episodes include audio tapes recorded secretly in the White House.  

"Among other things, Omarosa reminds us that Trump has mental problems!  No kidding!  I bet that he walks at night and checks with Richard Nixon before he tweets!  

"Can these people come up with something new other than racism or mental illness?  Who made them psychiatrists, anyway?

"This is not going to work, for a couple of reasons:

"First, I'm convinced that people have tuned this daily anti-Trump garbage out.  In other words, the only people who care about this already hate Trump.  Wonder how many Democrats running in competitive elections will invite Omarosa to their next rally?

"Second, and here I agree with Eliana Johnson, picking a fight with highly respected Chief of Staff John Kelly was not smart:  . . ." 

Naturally, Trump lashes out at her  . . . "Trump is right that it’s not presidential to take on the likes of Omarosa. It’s also not presidential to give her a high-level job." . . .

. . . "Lindsey Graham nailed it when he said of Trump, in response to the charge that the president is racist:

It is not the color of your skin [that determines how Trump reacts to you; it is not the content of your character. It is what you say about him.

"That’s a good defense to the racism charge, but it’s a sad commentary on the man and, to some degree, his presidency." (Emphasis added by TD) 

WH: Omarosa Defending Trump's Character 'Wasn't Paying Her Bills'  . . . "Gidley is also suspicious of Manigault's change of heart and whether it had anything to do with fame and fortune. She once touted Trump as a friend to the black community and defended his character at every turn, but that apparently "wasn't paying his bills," Gidley mused. Now, she calls him a "racist." Her new book, full of details critical of the Trump White House, is sure to sell more than a few copies, he suggested." . . .

Dana Perino: Omarosa's book will be forgotten -- her despicable behavior will not
. . . "And with that, I was able to move beyond that book. I forgave and moved on with my work. That, President Bush said, is what working in the White House is about. It isn’t about the self but it is the people of this nation. They deserve the best work ethic White House employees can muster.
"Omarosa chose not to do that. Her book will be forgotten. Her breach of confidence and ghastly disloyalty - to the country - will not be." . . .

Hell hath no fury . . . "President Trump had moved up, but he hadn’t adequately moved on from some of the people around him that were stunting his growth as our president.

"Omarosa should have never been a part of Trump’s staff. It was clear from the beginning she was out for herself. Kudos to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly for recognizing that as quickly as he did. When the president invites someone to be a part of his staff, they must realize they have a duty to serve the American people by serving the president and helping him fulfill the agenda that elevated him to the highest office in the land." . . .
