Omarosa: "(Betsy DeVos) does not care about your children."

“Be afraid. Be very afraid.”

Another quote about DeVos:
“There is no way she should be the secretary of education.” Omarosa says Trump calls her “Ditsy DeVos” and he plans to get rid of her.

So many fun nuggets in her book...

She places much of the blame on poor aid efforts on Kelly, who shut down the operations, believing that Puerto Rico was trying to suck up federal funds to rebuild their electrical grid.

And some of the “facepalms” captured in photos may have been due to headaches, not disgust with what Trump said.

of all the former Trump enablers like Omarosa and Scarborough, to name just a few, trying to walk everything back now. They are partially responsible for what we have now, Hey thanks!!

We all know at this point how sick, disturbing, scary, disgusting,repulsive, etc,etc,etc all the assorted Trump pack is, so what is the point of her tell-all book other than to make money? I want only an END to this nightmare. Our country is screwed and here we all are: talking about crap.

I am providing choice quotes for DUers who don’t want to buy the book but are curious.

Didn’t know that so many on DU would be so annoyed at me for sharing.

And even though many of us have a “duh” reaction to the obvious revelations, it’s good to see our opinions are shared by those within Trump’s circle.

Omarosa's book is pushing -45's buttons. When his buttons get pushed he tweets. When he tweets he undermines himself.

Also, it's obvious that he actually liked Omarosa, so it's a real knife in his back that she said the things she said in her book. He knows he f*cked up.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoy the snippets and won't be buying the book.

If we all had said she was a great choice, she'd have been history a long time ago. Not that she'd know anything about "history".

Trump ranted, “He’s the moron! I’m a geniues! My IW is genius level!” And wanted to challenge Tillerson to an IQ contest.

Also, General Kelly is an asshole. He privately made denigrating comments about the pregnant young widow of LaDavid Johnson, the soldier who was killed in Niger. Kelly thought the widow should be grateful she even got a call from Trump, who didn’t even remember the fallen soldier’s name.
