Omarosa says Trump is a racist who uses N-word - and claims there's tape to prove it

[Soph0571]

Donald Trump is a “racist” who has used the “N-word” repeatedly, Omarosa Manigault Newman, once the most prominent African American in the White House, claims in a searing memoir.

The future US president was caught on mic uttering the taboo racial slur “multiple times” during the making of his reality TV show The Apprentice and there is a tape to prove it, according to Manigault Newman, citing three unnamed sources.
-----------------
She also claims that she personally witnessed Trump use racial epithets about the White House counselor Kellyanne Conway’s husband George Conway, who is half Filipino. “Would you look at this George Conway article?” she quotes the president as saying. “F**ing FLIP! Disloyal! Fucking Goo-goo.”

Both flip and goo-goo are terms of racial abuse for Filipinos.

One has to wonder why she stuck around for so long based on this - but at the same time, the fact that she did does not make the accusations any less true IMO

1. Sadly

Trump using the N word is likely to fire up much of his base.

However, it will likely reverse the increase in support Trump has gotten from black voters.

5. Sad but true.

The exact things that make us cringe with disgust are what his base just loves and can't get enough of.

[jcgoldie]

12. increased support from black voters?

Where did you read that besides Trump's lying tweets?

[Zambero]

19. Most polls are showing Trump's black support at 3%

With a 3% margin of error, that would not suggest a groundswell of support. Outlier Rasmussen has black approval for Trump at 30% however, double of what it was a month ago. The "fact" that Rasmussen has Trump flirting with 50% overall popularity would certainly call its accuracy into question.

22. There were a few other polls

that had his support in the mid teens with African Americans, which is higher than the 8 or 9% he received on election day.

2. Locker room talk. It will solidify his racist base. Like Melania's jacket, they do not care

[Phentex]

27. Absolutely right!

A tape of him saying this will make them LOVE him more.

[bearsfootball516]

3. If this was actually on tape, one would think Omarosa would have released it by now.

Instead of just saying "Yeah, he said it and I have proof...but you can't hear it."

[SweetieD]

17. Why? Her goal is to make money. If the audio is released before the book, then

Her revalations would be less shocking.

[PJMcK]

18. Omarosa probably doesn't have the tape

The show's producer, I think Mark Burnett, has the tapes including the out-takes that Omarosa is likely referencing. She was probably on-set when Trump made his outlandish and racist comments.

One thing about Trump: He's quite the racist. I've lived in NYC all of my adult life and have met people from all over the world but I've never heard the terms "flip" or "goo-goo." Leave it to the racist-in-chief to know all of the nasty and abusive slang words for people who aren't white.

It's appalling and embarrassing that this man is the president.

32. Flip I've heard. Goo goo is a new one on me

I have many Filipino friends and my partner is Filipino. They kind of own flip, using it in various contexts and even their online user names.

Goo goo?

Seriously never heard that one. I'm going to ask him when I get home. So odd.

Learn somethin' new everyday. Not necessarily always good things.

[MrScorpio]

4. No one is shocked

[liberalnarb]

25. I'd be shocked if he didn't. eom

[LonePirate]

6. Either prove it by releasing tape or stop taunting the media and public with lies.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. It is easy to believe but proof would be nice.

[mr_lebowski]

31. A careful reading will show she's not claiming to HAVE the tapes, only that they exist ...

Tapes from filming of The Apprentice, which of course she was on back in the day.

Ergo, she likely knows from personal experience that they exist, but she doesn't have rights to publish them.

[muntrv]

8. Didn't she say we were going to bow before Twitler?

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Who cares what Omarosa says? We have to listen to Trump's tweets and bullshit, but...

Omarosa is not the President.

And who really believes Trump knows about "flip" and "goo-goo"?

[peekaloo]

14. I believe he knows.

Flipz are chocolate covered pretzels and Goo Goo's are little peanut/chocolate/caramel/marshmallow candy clusters!

[oberliner]

10. Translation: "Buy my book!"

[LanternWaste]

33. A common sentiment among authors.

Publishing you see, is a business model requiring both demand and supply to work.

[oberliner]

34. Absolutely - can't blame her for trying!

She has certainly figured out a way to make the most of her opportunities.

[Raine]

11. IF there's a tape then release it

we should get to hear it!

[Catherine Vincent]

13. His cultish fans won't care

They'll turn it back and say that rappers and blacks use that word as well.

[bullwinkle428]

15. Tom Arnold made these same kinds of promises like a year ago.

[NCTraveler]

16. No shit.

And that makes your legitimization of him even more repulsive.

[RhodeIslandOne]

20. Beware she's probably lying

I would not be shocked if she’s saying this to make him look better when it’s shown not to be true.

[Shrike47]

21. Unfortunately, any sentence that begins, 'Omarosa says' isn't credible.

[Gothmog]

23. From my twitter feed

Link to tweet

[Downtown Hound]

24. Which, all of the rest of us could see from day one

Which is why we didn't go work in the White House.

[dalton99a]

26. His cult will love him even more

[Sneederbunk]

28. Book hype.

[AlexSFCA]

29. she also said in one the interviews that he was not racist

this was soon after she got kicked of WH. She has bo credibility and only hurts the cause.
