Trump Ruins ‘Wacky Omarosa’ in Brutal Tweetstorm: Staff ‘Hated Her’, She’s ‘Vicious, But Not Smart’ (UPDATES)
President Donald Trump unleashed on Omarosa Manigault on Monday morning, soon after the former White House staffer appeared on the Today show to decry him as an unhinged racist unfit to serve as president.
The tweet — which will likely add a few sales to Manigault’s upcoming book about her time in the White House — was brutal, even for Trump.
“Wacky Omarosa,” Trump wrote, “who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time.”
“She never made it, never will,” he continued. “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….”

Trump has a tendency to start tweetstorms and finish them twenty minutes later, so standby for more…
UPDATE: Only 23 minutes later, President Trump finishes the ellipsis by claiming that Chief of Staff John Kelly warned him about Manigault, but he kept her on anyway because she praised him:
…really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work. When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!

UPDATE: 31 minutes later, Trump added that he knows it’s “not presidential” to be tweeting about Manigault, a reality TV contestant he hired to work in the White House, but that he needs to combat the media’s attempts to make “even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate”:
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!
