We KNEW this….
But now there is a tape?
This won’t bother the hardcore Trump supporters….
But if this comes out?
It WILL create a mini media firestorm for a while…
Omarosa’s book drops next week ands hopes to get attention from this….
Donald Trump is a “racist” who has used the “N-word” repeatedly, Omarosa Manigault Newman, once the most prominent African American in the White House, claims in a searing memoir.
The future US president was caught on mic uttering the taboo racial slur “multiple times” during the making of his reality TV show The Apprentice and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault Newman, citing three unnamed sources.
Trump has been haunted from around the time of his election in 2016 by allegations that outtakes from the reality TV show exist in which he is heard saying the N-word and using other offensive language.
In her book, Unhinged, a copy of which was obtained by the Guardian ahead of its publication next week, the former Apprentice participant insists that the reports are true, although she does not say she heard him use the word herself.
She also claims that she personally witnessed Trump use racial epithets about the White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband George Conway, who is half Filipino. “Would you look at this George Conway article?” she quotes the president as saying. “F**ing FLIP! Disloyal! Fucking Goo-goo.”
Both flip and goo-goo are terms of racial abuse for Filipinos.
Critics have previously questioned Manigault Newman’s credibility and are likely to accuse her of seeking revenge against the administration after her abrupt dismissal last December….

Maybe there is a tape.
However I will note that Omarosa has about as much credibility as Trump.
jamesb says
But if somebody produces the tape and it is played?
A Shit Storm WILL ensue…..
Zreebs says
Yeah – It will make national news for a couple of days. Incredibly, I don’t think this will cause his ratings to decline significantly. He might fall a couple of points in the polls, but I’m not sure it will be permanent. Republicans admire that he is “authentic”.
It might however increase turnout of black voters to vote against him. I think that is a very real possibility.
My Name Is Jack says
Yes,I agree.
There will be condemnations from the usual anti Trump Republicans and lesser “ regrets” from a host of others, but most of his supporters will stick with him(a good many because they wouldn’t find anything wrong with it).
However, it could increase the Black turnout and possibly fairly substantially.
scott says
Republicans will probably just ask why Omarosa stayed working for him if he was such a racist.
If there’s a tape there will definitely be uproar though. I agree with Zreebs and Jack it will definitely energize the black vote against Republicans.
I have no doubt Trump has used that language and probably has even around people of color in his employ.
Something telks me Omarosa is full of hot air on the existence of a tape though.

Crazy shit?

Omarosa Says Trump Chewed Up Paper After Meeting politicalwire.com/2018/08/10/oma…
“I was shocked he appeared to be chewing and swallowing the paper. It must have been something very, very sensitive.”
jamesb says
Want to know the secret behind Omarosa’s wild, largely unchallenged, run in the White House, during which she would swan in and out of the Oval Office, secretly recording the president and his chief of staff?
It’s simple: Some of the most powerful men in government were terrified of her…..
More @ Axios…..
jamesb says
The lady DOES have a LOT of tapes……
Omarosa Releases New Tape Of Trump Appearing Unaware She Was Fired
Former Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has now released two tapes from her time at the White House….
More…
(While the media is excited about this?…It’s actually a natural thing…Donald Trump is a habitual liar…Those close to him have figured THAT out and report to taping to make sure their is a reality answer to things…)
jamesb says
Could Omarosa be the straw that breaks Trump’s employment ?
She tells Mueller’s people she knows of more corruption details from her time in the White House..
She be a dubious witness
But she sure is putting things out there these days
And if she has tapes?????
scott says
Sarah Sanders says she can’t guarantee that Trump has never used the N word.
Funny. She never had a problem with lying before.
jamesb says
We KNOW he HAS used the word….
His mistake may have been that he thought NO ONE would out him on it….
The man has a long history of racist actions dating back to his start in NYC Real Estate
He has used this to help get his present day job
He and his adopted party have always worked to disenfranchise people of color in any way they can….
Stephen Miller is trying to actually have legal ones striped of their citizenship and deported…
While the Omerosa stuff is prime media red meat?
It serves a purpose….
It strips the Emperor of his clothes
And is ALL GOOD….
jamesb says
Yes Scott
Good point
They ALL have bent themselves into pretzels making up lies to support the guy who pays them with OUR taxpayer money…
They guy has dragged them ALL down into the mud with him….
One hope Mueller & Co. can help with some sort of day of cleanup and reckoning ….
