This is the state of our country right now:
A former reality show host, who fired a certain reality show contestant multiple times, is now fighting in public with that same reality show contestant after he also fired her from working in the White House.
The ex-host, of course, is the President of the United States.
The ex-contestant is Omarosa Manigault Newman.
Omarosa was let go from her actual role as a senior advisor to the Commander-in-Chief several weeks ago, and now she’s on a massive media tour in order to promote her upcoming book.
On Sunday, Omarosa appeared on Meet the Press, alleging that she was threatened upon being handed her walking papers and even playing a recording she made of Chief of Staff John Kelly.
The recording was done in secret, while Kelly explained to Omerosa his decision inside of The Situation Room, and you can listen to the wild breach of national security here:
Then, on Monday, Omarosa sat across from Savannah Guthrie and said Trump has used the N-Word at some point in the past…
… and there’s a tape out there of him doing so.
She also snapped a bit at Guthrie’s quick-fire line of questioning, as you can see below:
So, this all brings us to the latest in the Feud with No Winner That Absolutely Everyone Just Wishes Would Go Away Forever.
On Tuesday, Omarosa’s book, Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House, went on sale.
In one excerpt from the memoir, the former reality series villain says that President Trump is in “mental decline” and that he would “forget from one day to the next.”
“He was distracted, irritable, and short,” Newman writes about a briefing she had with the president.
“I was going over his speech, but he couldn’t retain any of the bullet points. I went over them again and again, and what he should say to the press after the event.”
In response to Omarosa’s press blitz and book, Trump settled in at work and focused on providing Flint, Michigan with clean water; Puerto Rico with electricity; and immigrants with a path to citizenship.
Just kidding.
He went on a Twitter rant instead.
“When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out,” Trump Tweeted this morning, adding:
“Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”
Trump previously admitted that he only hired Omarosa because she said “GREAT things” about him in the past.
Additionally, he Manigault Newman’s allegation in Unhinged that he was recorded repeatedly using recial epithets in outtake footage from The Apprentice.
“.@MarkBurnettTV 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,” Trump wrote late Monday, adding:
“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!”
This is all totally normal, folks.
This is absolutely how the President ought to be talking and what he should be focused on. No one panic, okay?!?
“Donald Trump is a con man and has been masquerading as someone who is actually open to engaging with diverse communities,” Omarosa said on NBC over the weekend.
As mentioned above, this is a feud that has no winner and one very obvious lose: Every single American citizen.
