Her loyal.
Trump knew she had been fired but called to tell her lies so she wouldn’t go out and tell all. Remember he has a pattern of getting others to do his dirty work. The call didn’t work but he tried. I’ll bet it succeeded with some of the many others who left or were fired.

Good for you, the jerk believes he can act.

I bet he taped her and laughed later.

She is on the shows sharing these tapes. It has been great PR for her book and her brand.

One interesting anecdote: she has said in previous interviews that she was advised to always use her name (i.e. talk about herself in first person) when on The Apprentice as a means of getting people to remember her.

She is clearly very shrewd at public relations and is making the most of this opportunity (understandably).

She certainly got a front row seat for them when she was on "The Apprentice".

She can keep going. Others may want to take note.

He always wants others to take the fall. He knew she was fired. Everything Trump says is either a lie or bullshit.

And I, you know, I love John, and all the rest, and by God, keep the faith. Keep the faith. You're going to win this son of a bitch.


I remember hearing Rachel's analysis of this, and she brought in focus the fact that Nixon was trying to be reassuring to Haldeman and keep his loyalty.

White House is freaking out. Who was recorded? What is on the tapes? Are the tapes going to drip, drip daily?

Omarosa is dominating the news no matter how hard the W.H. wants it to go away!

They're being exposed for the lying, dysfunctional, out of control, fucking mess they are.

I can't stand her, but I hope she keeps it up!

They might say "I don't like seeing you leave." Or "hate seeing you go". But not the way he said it. Most of the time it's like he never learned how to speak normally at all.

We already know that and this is a prime example.
