Ex-White House aide describes Trump’s abusive tantrums when he doesn’t get his way: ‘Not normal at all’

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Omarosa — who wrote an insider’s account of life in the White House after she was unceremoniously fired — said there was little in the new book that surprised her.


Digging into her Oval Office days, the former adviser and longtime Trump associate described the president’s “zero to 200” screaming jags when displeased.


“What is it like when this president has one of his angry fits, gets upset, and [co-panelist] Sam Nunberg is smiling as well so I can ask you both, as it well-represented here in the Washington Post does he go off the rails?” host Witt asked.


“Oh, he does, he goes from zero to 200 over the most trivial things,” Manigault Newman said as she smiled. “He starts to scream, he turns orange-red, he starts to emote, and he doesn’t want you to leave, because everybody wants to kind of edge away. He would have these tantrums and there was no way to calm him down. and then an hour later, he would call you and try to have a normal conversation. It was not normal at all.”

“There is something neurological going on with Donald Trump,” she continued. “I’m not a doctor but I’ll tell you what I observed in 2003 when I first met the man and when I last spoke to him. There is some disconnect with his ability to process basic information. It’s not that he doesn’t know the basic terminology of the government, of its structure and functions. He makes statements that have an impact around the world; that’s what he doesn’t grasp, his ignorance is destroying our country.”.....................................

1. "his ignorance is destroying our country"

The most succinct description of 45*(Impeached)'s tenure I have seen to date.

[dweller]

2. his ignorance is destroying this country

😖 says it all

✌🏼

3. Omarosa isn't the most credible person around

but it's not hard to believe what she just said.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Remind me what she isn't credible? Because she

was on a reality show?

[stopdiggin]

19. because she had prior experience with Trump

and then, so informed, jumped at the chance to join the administration. I would include most that have knowing served this regime -- as being very suspect in terms of credibility. Just my humble opinion.

(is there some reason that I should think better of Omarosa than the other WH toadies and sycophants?)

[JonLP24]

21. The reason why she has more credibility is she didn't stick around

I don't know about tapes if she actually has them but this tantrum stuff checks out based on what other people say. A lot of stories broken about Trump's behavior comes from sources within Trump's White House.

4. I'd forgotten about Omarosa (strangely that autocorrected). ..... wait, I did again

What were we talking about?

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Just another manic everyday.

[Takket]

6. the very fact he hired her to begin with is proof positive he doesn't know what he's doing

[StarfishSaver]

7. And if he hadn't fired her, she'd still be all over the airwaves shilling for him

But I still believe her.

[LiberalFighter]

8. I hope there are videos.

[lunasun]

9. So basically she called him stupid and a psycho cry baby . I think most people already know that

stuff about trump

[jcgoldie]

10. How can you tell when he's turning "orange-red"?

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. She'd never have been near the grounds of 1600 Penn Ave, had Hillary been rightfully installed.

She won by 3MM votes for Christ's sake. Time to deep six the EC. It's time has come and gone.

Same as 2000. Without the EC, no 9/11, another trillion dollar taxcut, no war in Iraq, no Katrina/FEMA fuckup, no rectal lock-up of our banking/investment sector that threatened a full scale meltdown of our economy.

Why can't the average Republican voter figure this out? Why do they prefer stupid over competence?

[Kaiserguy]

16. Good Question

why do they prefer stupid over competence. My best guess is they buy the BS the GOP is selling plus they know that it's hurting people they don't like. US!

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. It's like we are all frogs, but

we didn't vote the chef who was going to cook us all.

[MerryBlooms]

12. Whatever. That asshole was all in until she was fired and

then decided to turn tail and all of a sudden gained a conscience? Now she has a new angle for cash, she's nothing but an opportunist. She can fuck the right off.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Sounds bi-polar to me

[Perseus]

15. So many people talk about it, but nobody does anything

There he is, why is he still there if so many people know it?

Lack of courage? Everyone wants to be anonymous, nobody has the courage to say it like it is, to go public. If enough people went public, went on TV and WARNED the country, denounced the GOP enablers then we could find and end to this nightmare, but it has to come from the people inside.

[Grokenstein]

18. No, it's completely normal.

...for an infant.

[thesquanderer]

20. Better interview than it sounds here. Raw Story mangled the transcript. (n/t)

[sandensea]

22. Tantrumps

[C Moon]

23. The only thing that's going to stop his followers from worshiping him

is if he has some sort of mental break down during one of his speeches, and starts blabbering.

[moonscape]

24. That will only make him more like them - they will relate n/t

[Disaffected]

25. I dunno,

he's already done that and it seems to have no effect.

[PatrickforO]

26. Well, there you have it. The most basic thing we can do here is:

1. Removal from office by the Senate. (Probably not gonna happen because Republicans are traitors)

2. Smash all turnout records in November and paint the country deep blue.

3. Support the National Popular Vote initiative in your state so we can get rid of the Electoral College.
