Omarosa Manigault: ‘Every Critic, Every Detractor, Will Have To Bow Down To President Trump’

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump’s director of African-American outreach has an ominous warning for all who dared to criticize the Republican presidential nominee: Soon, they will have to bow down to “the most powerful man in the universe.”

In an upcoming “Frontline” special, Omarosa Manigault told PBS that the roots of Trump’s presidential campaign may be traced back to the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner, when President Barack Obama cracked a few jokes at the real estate mogul’s expense. The quips came after Trump falsely accused Obama of lying about his birthplace and citizenship, thus feeding the discredited right-wing “birther” conspiracy theory.

“It just kept going and going and he just kept hammering him,” Manigault said. “And I thought, ‘Ohhhh, Barack Obama is starting something that I don’t know if he’ll be able to finish.” She said:

“Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump. It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.”

I wonder whether this is how it felt like in Germany during the 1930s watching the rise of Hitler as German industrialists thought they could control Hitler.

So now this thin skinned punk from Queens Village ( Not close enough to the rest of Queens to be considered "tough" like Jamaica and not in Long Island to be considered "elite&quot wants revenge? Want people to "bow down" to him? Well tell him to go rotate on it because I'll see him lose first by a landslide and if by some rip in the fabric of the universe he DOES get in, I'll see you all in the Resistance.

I honestly had no idea this woman was still alive.

But if she honestly believes in what she's saying, that's yet another reason to fear and work against Trump.
No one should bow to the president of the united states. The whole point in that war in the 1780's was that he wasn't going to be the king.

show that the entire campaign is corrupt and a fraud. As a black woman, and a Christian, I am embarrassed for them for all those prosperity preachers they have on Trumps team. It makes them look like one great big swindler machine, with Amarosa at the lead. There is a special place in hell for swindlers like her. Trump is a board certified sociopath. He may be able to get a medical exemption for his get out of jail free card. Armarosa, I'm not so sure. She knows what she's doing which makes her worse, and more culpable.

For everything Trump says is a lie, or he goes back on like his support for LGBT rights, and also saying Pres Obama was born in America. Who knows what he'll say Monday. Dude is out there!!!

"Donald Trump is running for president because he believes that he can help turn the nation around. More importantly, every critic, every detractor will have to bow down to President Trump."

So she considers the good of the country secondary to Donald Trump triumphing over anyone that would dare speak against him. If that doesn't scream 'fascism', I don't know what would. But what else can we expect from a thin-skinned narcissist like trump, or the people he surrounds himself with?

The only case for her being a celebrity was that she was on the first show. She didn't win either time because nobody could stand working on the projects with her.

She was on the fifth season of The Surreal Life which began airing on July 10, 2005 and starred Caprice Bourret, José Canseco, Sandy "Pepa" Denton, Janice Dickinson, Carey Hart, Omarosa Manigault, and Bronson Pinchot.

I remember Dickinson couldn't stand her and one night at dinner quasi threatened Omarosa with a knife. Janice is a bit crazy too.

A n#*€%r and she herself was so OTT scheming and nasty that many did not believe her. When she was scheduled to appear on a late night show at the height of that controversy she apparently saw a lie detector test and bolted out of there! So- like Trump- it appears that there is no disgusting thing she will not do or say for money.

Looks like he finished off Trump in both 2011 and 2012.

Trump still doesn't know the 2012 election is over and is running against the wrong candidate.

I almost think a super-pac should run this ad in heavily Christian areas and have a Christ-loving minister say these words are only for Christ, and this is the kind false idol sickness we were warned against, that Trump is encouraging with his foul comments and grandiose bragging and nationalism.

Something about how she seems to relish (in the video) the notion that she could potentially be Trump's Eva Braun, asking him for favors (like nuking a detractor, executing dissidents, etc.), .... She is so warped, that in her reality, mimicking Disney villains' evil-ness is just business-as-usual. Something in her past makes all that seem normal, even honorable.

She would, without a doubt in my mind, make the life of those around her HELL.

No its Nazi,

It’s clear, and scary, Trump likes to play games. America will have the ultimate gamer as president. Good reason the young crowd are attracted to him. Trump has a super potential gaming pool of reality game Barbie dolls or Hollywood Pouty dolls.

Kick the Can is something he is good at with his many many overly predictive comments with assurance and confidence, in that down the game alley everything can be done through Presidential order with everyone being a winner.

Like Sarah Palin once said Republicans have the potential to mint a millionaire a minute. Get ready for the Barbie Pouty train ride with those for Trump and more whistle blowers than OSHA can handle from Trumps Poison Hazmat.

The President doing “at will orders”, in his Kick the Can gaming, is a reality in your face in the street likely turning into a blow out down the road, determine the foals, and tally the points all the while making up rules so absurd. The Black and Hispanic population are the losers, Trump and his bigot associates are banking on it.

The scary part is his comments about the media being against him, when in reality Trump is getting a custom ride chauffeur driven by all the principle anchor media. Anyone should be able to draw that reasoning except the Trump audience that believes it should be that way. America is in the middle change; with Trump it is fascism. These Republicans are Nazi groomed by the Bush family.
