A black friend of mine said that if he refused to work for anybody who he suspected or knew to be racist, he'd've had a much shorter career. And no, he doesn't think *everybody* he ever worked for is/was racist. He's just aware they're out there, and sometimes he just decided for the sake of earning a living, he'd find a way to deal with it.
Granted, Omarosa probably has/had a *lot* more options than my friend (and he also entered the work force a few years after she was born, so the times were undoubtedly different), but it did make me wonder if, like him, she had encountered that mindset enough times that she pushed it down the list of 'things she would concern herself with for the sake of the job', if that makes sense.
Having said that.....I don't like either her *or* Trump, but Trump is infinitely worse.
Omorosa is the primary beneficiary of actor Michael Clarke Duncan's estate. She's not the trustee, so she can't recklessly spend the assets. She gets most of the income that is generated. The money from the White House job was frosting, but I doubt that was her primary motivation for wanting to work there. I think her primary motivation was a desire for attention......she's an attention hound.
Who cares? Trump should never have put her in the White House. Period. With the taxpayer paying her $179,000 a year to do NOTHING .
NOW - he's dealing with the repercussions.
Turns out - he DOESN'T only hire the best.
Omarosa is a horrible human being - no doubt about it. I don't know that we can believe one word she says. But one thing she's not and that is dumb. She will ride her newest 15 minutes of fame as long as she can. This ain't her first media rodeo.
She's got big brass ones that is for sure.
Sure, Omarosa is an opportunist. You'd think she wouldn't know Trump was a racist well before The Apprentice and going to work for him?
That said, it speaks poorly about Trump and his administration about their ability to
1) judge and hire appropriate people
2 ) shoddy management of security if Omarosa was able to record a conversation in the Situation Room or other places.
One thing that occurred to me about the Omarosa book and the tapes "business" is that why would she work for an entire year (and longer if one counts her time with "The Apprentice") for someone she knew to be racist? Is she completely without any personal ethics at all? This would seem to indicate so --
I actually knew very little about her except for the fact that she had been on "The Apprentice" and was hired as part of Trump's team, so I looked it up and I was positively aghast at her history. (My opinion is that she and Trump are two of a kind in many ways.)
And if she did knowingly work for a racist, how can she possibly act so outraged and feel justified in "attacking" Trump now?
(Oh, yeah -- fame and money. )
If there is a heaven, and the people/souls up there have the ability to watch what is going on down here, I wonder what the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan thinks about how this is unfolding ?
(He and Omorosa were a couple (and were living together) when he died).
ironic it took another reality TV star to bring down a Russian Manchurian candidate. This is the end for the Trump train.
