Well written for what it is, the reader can take this book with a grain of salt. It is worth noting, though, that there is a balance found within these pages, which seems to substantiate the narrative more than a smearing tell-all, right? I never had time for The Apprentice or Trump, whatever he was branding, though his jester-like attitude only added to the turn-off.
So, when I chose to read this book, I entered with somewhat of a clean slate, as least when it came to the author. Omarosa offers some interesting insight into her life and how she climbed the ladder to become who she was. Omarosa counters that life in the Trump Circle is cult-like, with many still under his influence, while those on the outside are gagged and mocked.
Omarosa made decisions and chose to chum with certain individuals. She readily admits that she sold out and chose to turn away from red flags because power was too intoxicating and she felt a need to protect the man. She sits here, penning this book, and slings mud at many people—who deserve the mess—but there is no way that she comes across as clean in the entire disaster.
If the reader is to find nuggets of insider information, they must also see that Omarosa willingly sanctioned their use by not standing up. Is this a book filled with sour grapes, as the West Wingers would have us believe? Perhaps there is a degree of that, but there is also something interesting embedded in these pages.
The narrative speaks and substantiates things that were rumoured beforehand about Trump and those closest to him. I asked myself throughout, could these comments be simple lies, spun to make Trump look bad, or is there some truth to all of this? Is Trump the ass that he is seen to be and does he have misogynistic and racists tendencies? I suppose I will leave that to the reader, though it would seem a little too far-fetched for me to believe that so many people created a fake narrative and kept building on it for their own pleasure.
Is this a stunning tell-all piece that readers will devour and find gobs of wonderful gossip? No, not at all. Is it entertaining and thought-provoking? As we await the results of the next four to six years in the American political drama, the reader can ask themselves where they stand and what they can expect. I have been berated by those who say I have no right to say anything, as I am not American.
To those people, I remind repeatedly that while they are fine having freedoms removed or be bullied for speaking out, I am pleased to have the right to speak my own mind and formulate my own opinions. Ignorance and arrogant behaviour have their place, but I will never sanction them or feel it is acceptable to berate people for speaking for equality, justice, and basic human rights. Kudos, Madam Manigault Newman, for the interesting piece.
While not a stunner, you did sell the point that power makes good people do stupid things and then seek pity for them. I have to ask View all 16 comments. Aug 14, Eddie S. Love or hate her, the book gives an 'honest' account. I like the book so far. I originally thought this book would be garbage, but it turned out to be really interesting.
I think she plays oblivious about Trump's behavior and practices cognitive dissonance when she has to confront her complicity in hindsight. I'm not a Omarosa fan, but this book is filled with a lot of tea. I have to deduct her b Love or hate her, the book gives an 'honest' account. I have to deduct her book rating from a 5 star review to a 4 star review. Reason being that Omarosa was gaslighting throughout the entire book.
In one chapter she is reluctant to admit what racism is and how it works, for example she says Trump is 'racial but not racist' and not giving further elaboration on what that really means. She allegedly made horrible threats of putting a 'dossier' out on her. She didn't mention that feud at all. She omits the comments she made towards the African American community while defending Trump blindly.
I totally get it, people purchased the book to hear about the madness happening behind the scenes. Still a good book, but she omits and cherry picks situations that make her look like a victim, rather than a willing participant in his administration. Which leads me to question if she is giving an honest account. I would definitely purchase this book again, or recommend it to a friend. It had a lot of tea that will keep you interested. I never got bored once. View all 7 comments.

This book is mostly about Omarosa's life. It's an easy and entertaining read. Honestly her coonery during the campaign bothered me. The book doesn't fix that for me. First she pretends that chump's campaign rallies weren't hot beds of racism where reporters and camera operators were treated to racist remarks. She tries to This book is mostly about Omarosa's life.
She tries to act like chump wasn't targeting marginalized people's at his rallies but was talking about Hillary planting troublemakers in the audience. She paints protestors as more violent than racists. She makes it seem like black people being mean to her was the issue, rather than acknowledging she was justifiably ostracized for supporting bigotry. So I could respect her more if she was honest about what was happening.
Also her pretense that she joined chump's team to advocate for black folks is pure bullshit. She joined his team for what he agreed to pay her. Her continued pretense that she was blind to chump's racism and sexism is bullshit. I ain't mad at her for making her money.
I don't forgive her for supporting him. I'm glad I didn't pay for this book. View all 4 comments. This was surprisingly readable. Do I trust Omarosa? Not particularly. Do I understand how she can justify her fifteen years in Trumpworld?

When a reality tv host hires a reality tv star, this is what you get. Only time will tell if her stories are credible, but some of the revolting and entertaining points of the book include: -Omorosa admired Trump's business acumen and considered him a mentor. She blindly followed him and justified his racism, misogyny,homophobia et Omarosa has spilled the tea and stained the floor with it! She blindly followed him and justified his racism, misogyny,homophobia etc. She refers to Trump and the people who surround him as "Trumpworld", and that they are essentially brainwashed into following him like a cult.
She still calls him "Daddy". If Melania were to do anything to upset Trump, she is afraid he could become vindictive and do something to put her citizenship in danger. She also believes Melania uses fashion as a way to "punish" her husband. She saw Pence staring at Trump's head for an hour once. She also believes Pence and his team are just waiting for Trump to be impeached or resign. No ifs, ands, or buts. She's heard tapes of him being angry and using the "N word". She compares who he was back in the "Apprentice" days, and says he is a completely different person: someone incapable of retaining or processing critical information.

I never watched apprentice and knew practically nothing about Omarosa so I was able to approach this book with a clean slate so to speak. I don't really care about her reputation as I had always had an affinity toward the "villany" type of reality show contestant.
My opinion of her after reading her book was although she strikes me as a cut throat drama queen with questionable scruples, in my opinion, if she was truly outraged about the shanagans that were going on in the White House she would I never watched apprentice and knew practically nothing about Omarosa so I was able to approach this book with a clean slate so to speak. My opinion of her after reading her book was although she strikes me as a cut throat drama queen with questionable scruples, in my opinion, if she was truly outraged about the shanagans that were going on in the White House she would have quit long before they had fired her I have no reason to believe that any of these accounts are untrue or inaccurate.
Although, Omarosa, in my opinion is fueled by pure vindictiveness, I can give credence of her claim to Trump's mental, physical, and moral decline along with the rampant corruption of those who work along side him.
They cannot hope that this book will be forgotten about after it has fallen off the charts so to speak when she will be constantly leaking out hundreds of videos like a continuous drip. The President has bitten by a snake that he let into his house and there will never be enough people to suck the poison out.
Ok, so here's the thing: I've never liked Omarosa. I have to say that after I read the book, I have more compassion for the way that she rose out of poverty and worked hard to get where she is. She is vastly intelligent and the book is well-written.
That being said, the whole thing feels very "rats jumping off a sinking ship" to me. She openly acknowledged that she brushed off racist and misogynist things that he said around her, because he was her mentor.
So you mean to tell me that she wants to Ok, so here's the thing: I've never liked Omarosa. So you mean to tell me that she wants to make things right because she finally feels bad and not because she got fired and escorted from the White House?
Omarosa foremost serves herself. However, it takes big lady balls and not a small amount of cunning to document all that she did. Trump is terrifying, both in the unquestioning loyalty he demands and his vacillating definition of what that means.
So yeah, I'm not an Omarosa fan, but if she helps take down Twitler? I say faster pussycat, kill kill. Aug 14, Grady rated it it was amazing. She has served as an adjunct professor in the Howard University School of Business. She currently serves in pastoral ministry at The Sanctuary at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. This fast reading book is what many have been waiting to appear.
And on and on. It is all here in immensely readable form — written by a very bright lady who had the courage to leave the Trump dynasty before it self implodes. If for no other reason than catharsis, read this book. It somehow tames the fear we all have about Trump simply by putting the facts in black and white.

This is a memoir. If you see a Google Drive link instead of source url, means that the file witch you will get after approval is just a summary of original book or the file has been already removed. Loved each and every part of this book. I will definitely recommend this book to non fiction, politics lovers.
