I don't believe a word

[Raven]

of the Trump tape where he feigns surprise at Omarosa's firing. He knew and she's a dope if she doesn't think he did. For a guy who has made a career of breaking every rule, he could have called Kelly in and told him to keep her and put her someplace where she wouldn't do any harm. He didn't because she had lost her usefulness to him. She had a negative standing with black and brown Americans and she was a pain in the ass.

1. Lying coward doesn't have the guts to fire people himself

[Iggo]

2. Political. Theater.

Anything to keep people from paying attention to the Manafort trial.

3. I feel the same ...

He was putting on a big act and he's not very good at it. I'm sure Kelly did it on trumps orders.

4. I'm not so sure. Do you actually think trump is/was on top of everything going on in the WH?

Doubtful.

Not a fan of Omarosa's but she's no dummy.

Whatever she contributes to bring down trump and his whole band of white supremacists is welcome IMO.

The whole "enemy of my enemy..." thing.

5. You may be right but I'll bet Kelly told him

he was going to fire her ( didn't ask, told him) and he shrugged and said "whatever, she's useless." Then, because he's a liar, a creep and a coward, he bs'd her.

6. not everything. not by a long shot. but omarosa? definitely.

donnie's not interested in hires for actual jobs, and if a random staffer gets fired, he doesn't care or even need to know about that.

but omarosa was not a random staffer. she was hired because of a specific connection to donnie and because of purely political/propaganda reasons. she was hired specifically because donnie wanted her hired. i can't imagine anyone else having thought she was needed. no one would have suggested it or advocated for it if it wasn't for donnie specifically wanting it.


you just don't fire someone like that without the person who hired them saying ok.

7. Yeah, you would for a normally functioning, sentient being.

trump is not that.

[unblock]

8. not caring about the real positions but caring about omarosa's job

is exactly the sort of thing i would expect from donnie's warped, incompetent management style.

a normally functioning, sentient being wouldn't have created omarosa's position in the first place.

[brush]

9. Yep.
