Rick Wilson: Trump Is In Such Deep Sh*t, Omarosa Is Almost a Relief
Trump Is In Such Deep Sh*t, Omarosa Is Almost a Relief

In Trump’s world, it’s hard to tell sometimes where the con ends and reality begins, but when you apply the simplest cui bono test, you’ll view the Don and Omarosa show through a very, very jaundiced eye. Their very loud, very messy, very public spat has everything but an out-of-wedlock child and an evil twin. It’s the unspeakable in pursuit of the insufferable, and if it’s hard to tell which is which, that’s by design.
Though the explosive fight between these two heels may have a nugget of genuine, reciprocal anger and betrayal in the center, the cautious money is that it is almost entirely boob-bait for the easily-gulled Trumpentariat, mere mummery and distraction from the widening gyre of legal, political, and economic trouble looming for the star of our national reality TV show. This week’s episode consists of the usual kayfabe, with secret recordings, Presidential shitter-tweeted rage, and the apparatus of the President’s media sycophants turning their fire on another of Donald’s once-beloved now-reviled ex-besties.
In Trump’s world today, the living envy the dead. For the unlucky White House survivors clinging to the wreckage, it’s a race against the clock.
The Manafort trial was a window into the kind of scummy, skeezy people Donald Trump hired to run his scampaign, and the odd prevalence of Russian money in all their lives. While the trail slowly grinds to its end and Paul Manafort’s future fashion options run to orange jumpsuits instead of $15,000 ostrich jackets, Trump is nervously posting more and more “Kick Me; I’m Obstructing Justice” tweets. The Mueller investigation continues its inevitable, Terminator-style progress. Trump knows he and his weak-chinned, slope-shouldered spawn are solidly in the crosshairs now, and no amount of tweeting will change it.
