President Donald Trump has denied allegations made by ‘wacky and deranged’ Omarosa Manigault Newman accusing the former Apprentice host of using the N-word.
‘[The Apprentice producer] Mark Burnett called to say that there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa,’ the president tweeted on Monday.
‘I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have. She made it up.
‘Look at her MANY recent quotes saying such wonderful and powerful things about me – a true Champion of Civil Rights – until she got fired.
‘Omarosa had Zero credibility with the Media (they didn’t want interviews) when she worked in the White House.
‘Now that she says bad about me, they will talk to her. Fake News!’

First lady Melania Trump, meanwhile, is disappointed that Manigault Newman ‘is lashing out and retaliating in such a self-serving way, especially after all the opportunities given to her by the President,’ said White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham.
Earlier on Monday, the president posted similarly derogatory tweets about Manigault Newman, who was fired from her job as a White House aide by chief of staff John Kelly.
Trump tweeted that he kept her on staff because she praised him even as she failed to do her job, the latest insult in the two former reality television stars’ public battle.
Trump said the former Apprentice contestant had begged for a job in the White House but was hated by others, missed work and was ‘nasty.’
Still, he said he directed his chief of staff, Kelly, to try to smooth things over with her.

Omarosa is set to release her new book, Unhinged, which describes her time in the White House
‘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!’ he wrote in a series of posts on Twitter.
Ahead of the Tuesday release of her book Unhinged, which describes her time in the White House, Omarosa – known commonly by her first name – has released recordings of conversations she had with Kelly and Trump when she was fired in December.
The White House has pushed back, saying the recordings raise questions about her integrity.
Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders on Sunday also said the recordings, including one in the White House’s secure Situation Room, showed ‘a blatant disregard for our national security.’
Asked if she was concerned about any legal consequences, Omarosa told NBC’s Today program: ‘No, absolutely not.’
She was previously best known for repeatedly being fired on NBC’s The Apprentice and was one of Trump’s more visible African-American supporters during his 2016 election campaign.
‘It’s sad that with all the things that’s going on in the country that he would take time out to insult me and to insult my intelligence,’ she told MSNBC in reaction to Trump’s tweets.


The president tapped his gigantic social media audience to write that Omarosa was reviled at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and only had a job there because she ‘begged’ him for one with ‘tears in her eyes’

Ever the counter-puncher, Trump said he was willing to appear unpresidential in order to counter a ‘Fake News Media’ narrative that has given Omarosa undeserved credibility

Before Omarosa Manigault Newman’s ‘Today’ show interview on Monday, NBC News broadcast a clip from a phone call Omarosa recorded with the president; she says he told her the day after she was fired that he was unhappy to see her leave

The fired Trump aide claims the reason she was in the Situation Room with her smartphone to record her own firing is that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly had ‘four men’ confine her there without a lawyer and subjected her to ‘false imprisonment’

Manigault Newman told Savannah Guthrie to ‘calm down’ and repeatedly snapped as she was being grilled about Donald Trump during a heated ‘Today’ interview on Monday
‘This is his pattern with African-Americans, and he doesn’t know how to control himself.’
In Unhinged, the former Trump aide alleges there are audio outtakes from ‘The Apprentice’ showing the president using the ‘N-word’ to describe African-Americans.
According to the HuffPost, Manigault-Newman said she was shown the tapes by former Apprentice contestant Troy McClain.
She told Trump aides that his alleged racial slurs were made against black contestant Kwame Jackson, the publication reports.
McClain denied ever showing her such recording and said: ‘You’ve got to be bullsh*****g me. Is this a joke?’
Tom Arnold tweeted ‘B*****it’ in response to Trump’s tweet about Burnett.
Last month, Vice Media announced that Arnold would be featured in a new show called ‘The Hunt for the Trump Tapes’ and would investigate rumored recordings of the president.
She claimed Monday on NBC’s Today show that she made a Situation Room tape of Kelly firing her only after his aides locked her in the secure area and refused to let her see a lawyer.
Manigault Newman told Savannah Guthrie to ‘calm down’ and repeatedly snapped as she was being grilled about Trump during a heated ‘Today’ interview on Monday.
Omarosa also told Guthrie at various points to ‘wait’, claimed the host was asking questions ‘too quickly’ and eventually ended the interview after 10 minutes despite earlier saying she had ‘all the time you need’.
The former reality TV star was on the program to promote her new tell-all book, Unhinged, about the Trump White House and air secret audio recordings of conversations with the President and his chief of staff.
She told Guthrie to ‘calm down’ after being asked how she managed to record chief of staff John Kelly as he was firing her in the White House Situation Room.
Her bright yellow dress she wore on the show baffled style critics and left them wondering what she was thinking.

The 44-year-old former assistant to the president looked ready for a cocktail reception in a $550 one-shoulder lace dress featuring a sweetheart neckline and scalloped hem when she sat down with Savannah Guthrie in Studio 1A.
‘Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time. She never made it, never will,’ Trump blasted a few hours later on Twitter.
‘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.’
Trump suggested that most of the drama that followed Omarosa around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue went on underneath the Oval Office’s high-powered radar.
‘I would rarely see her but heard really bad things. Nasty to people & would constantly miss meetings & work,’ he added in a two-part tweet.
Ultimately, the president said, he considered Omarosa a booster and wanted her to stay in her job conducting outreach to black communities – over Kelly’s objection.
‘When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems,’ Trump tweeted. ‘I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!’

In a third tweet, the president defended himself for getting down in the mud with Team Trump’s newest apostate.
‘While I know it’s ‘not presidential’ to take on a lowlife like Omarosa, and while I would rather not be doing so,’ he wrote, ‘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!’
Over the weekend at his New Jersey golf club estate, Trump told reporters that his onetime ally was ‘a low-life.’
But Manigault Newman revealed an audio recording Monday morning of a friendly phone call she said Trump placed to her the day after her December 2017 firing.
The astonishing 22-second audio clip shows the president telling her that he knew nothing about her dismissal. He is heard assuring the onetime reality TV contestant that he wasn’t happy to see her leave.
‘Omarosa what’s going on? I just saw on the news that you’re thinking about leaving? What happened?’ Trump asks her.
She responds: ‘General Kelly – General Kelly came to me and said that you guys wanted me to leave.’
‘No – I, I, Nobody even told me about it,’ Trump says, leading her to interject: ‘Wow.’

On the audio recording released Sunday, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is heard telling Omarosa that ‘serious integrity violations’ had left her without a job
‘You know, they run a big operation, but I didn’t know it,’ Trump tells her. ‘I didn’t know that. Goddamn it. I don’t love you leaving at all.’
Manigault Newman said Monday that ‘Donald Trump has no clue what’s going on,’ concluding that he’s not ‘fit’ to hold office.
‘John Kelly is running this White House,’ she said, ‘and Donald Trump has no clue what’s going on. He’s being puppeted, and that’s very dangerous for this nation.’
It’s not unusual for a president to be in the dark about staffing decisions in a White House that employs hundreds of people.
A White House official told DailyMail.com on Monday that ‘Omarosa apparently thinks she’s important enough to be on Trump’s radar 24/7.’
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani fumed Monday morning on ‘Fox & Friends’ that Manigault Newman came off as arrogant.
‘Donald Trump made her!’ he said. ‘What kind of ingratitude!’
And he said it’s unremarkable that Kelly, not Trump, handled the management of wayward aides.
‘Most of the things about her never came to him. They don’t walk in and say to the president, ‘So and so leaked something,’ or ‘So and so is fighting with this one in the White House.’ If you did that, the president couldn’t do his job. That’s for the chief of staff to handle,’ he explained.
The question of whether Trump may have used a racial slur to refer to African-Americans on his show’s Trump Tower set has hung in the political air since 2016.
Manigault Newman claimed Monday that more than one such recording exists.
‘There are multiple tapes,’ she said Monday on the ‘Today’ show of audio outtakes from ‘The Apprentice’. She claimed to have heard at least one of them personally.

Initially deflecting questions about how and when she was able to listen to it, she eventually explained to host Savannah Guthrie that ‘it’s about 3 minutes. It’s audio.’
‘He was talking about some Afrircan-Americans in the production throughout the course of ‘The Apprentice.’ That’s unacceptable,’ she said.
Manigault Newman said she didn’t have possession of any of the audio but ‘the people who have the tape intend to release the tape.’
She focused on what she claimed was an election-year discussion in which one campaign aide, Katrina Pierson, said she believed the recording was real.
‘There was a conference call among campaign workers, Jason Miller, Lynn Patton and Katrina Pierson where we talked about the possibility of him saying it,’ Manigault Newman said Monday. ‘And his own spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, said, ‘I have heard from a credible source that yes, he said it’.’
Pierson flatly denied a similar allegation on Sunday, telling DailyMail.com that she has ‘never heard President Trump ever use the derogatory language that Omarosa claims’ and that she ‘never confirmed the existence of an alleged tape from ‘The Apprentice’ to her.’
‘That’s a complete fabrication by Omarosa,’ Pierson said. ‘I feel pity for Omarosa as she embarrasses herself by creating salacious lies and distortions just to try to be relevant and enrich herself by selling books at the expense of the truth. ‘Unhinged,’ indeed.’
Confronted on Monday with video from a 2017 television interview in which she insisted Trump was not a racist and she would never work for him otherwise, she claimed she was trying at the time to avoid turning the West Wing against her.
‘I was being very cautious about what I said, so as not to upset these folks,’ she claimed Monday.
