The fact that she’s African American leads some to claim she’s a stereotypical “Black bitch” but, in my opinion, that simply reveals more about them, not her.

No — Trump didn’t create her and she’s no Trump mini-me. Omarosa has consistently used her skills, knowledge and talents in the same way to advance her career since she entered the public eye. One may dislike or reject the public persona she created and the path she chose to achieve her goals. But she is, across the board, her own woman.

Why I Think Omarosa Likely Hated Trump Since Day 1.

All of the above plus this: she has seen him behind the scenes and knows exactly what he’s capable of — which, after the pussy-grabbing tape, is clearly far worse than the horrors he reveals in public — and she’s fully aware of his power to dispose of her or destroy her at will. There is no way she ever truly “respected” such a man as a “mentor.” It’s far more likely she hated him, as I hated the boss I described above yet continued to work for him.

I have no doubt Trump used the N-word behind the scenes on The Apprentice, along with other vicious invective and sundry pussy-grabbing in word and/or deed. I have no doubt Omarosa was shocked and disgusted by him yet made a calculated decision to stay in his orbit for — yes — career opportunities.

Personally, I don’t consider her choice to do so different than many of the famous women who came forward in the #MeToo discussion and admitted they remained silent because their abusers had the power to advance (or destroy) their careers. I don’t recall any of those women being criticized as “opportunists.”

When Omarosa made the “bow down to Trump” remark on TV after he won the GOP nomination, my spidey-sense kicked in. It was over the top even for the renowned Reality TV Villain. My gut told me she knew her remark would win favor with Trump. She was right. Soon after, Omarosa was asked to join the Trump election campaign and had to sign an NDA.

When he won the presidency and created a top-paying position for Omarosa, she did two things I find significant:

She did not sign an NDA.

She entered the West Wing with her iPhone app on “record.”

It’s worth repeating: she entered the West Wing with her iPhone app on “record.”

Think about it — why would she make these recordings? Simply and solely to exploit an opportunity? I don’t think so. Opportunity was the cherry on top of a cake that Omarosa’s been baking a long time.

I think she made those recordings because Omarosa hates Trump’s guts, has always hated his guts, and she intended to come for him.

The fact that Trump didn’t see her coming is a testament to his misogynist, racist, rich white boy, ignorant blind spot. A blind spot I have no doubt Omarosa sized up the moment she met him.

Next time you see her interviewed on TV, pay attention to her eyes. They reveal it all.

I do not judge her. In fact, I applaud her. You go girl.
