WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House aide and reality television star Omarosa Manigault Newman will chronicle her time in U.S. President Donald Trumps administration in a memoir to be released Aug. 14, her publisher said Thursday.
Publisher Gallery Books said Unhinged: An Insiders Account of the Trump White House will recount Newmans role in Trumps political rise, from her campaign trail focus on reaching out to African-American voters to her role in White House communications.
A White House spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the book on Thursday.
Newman, who once worked in U.S. President Bill Clintons administration, initially rose to fame as a contestant on Trumps reality TV show The Apprentice in 2004. She worked on his 2016 presidential campaign, during which she said Trumps detractors would eventually have to bow down to him.

(12,618 posts)Like I needed it to tell me Trump was unhinged. Most of us had already figured that out long before you were telling us that one day we'd be bowing down to him, sister.

(959 posts)but I'll be damned if I buy this one. I wouldn't give this gal a cent, after that "bow down to Dump" crap of hers. If there's anything good in the book, it'll find it's way to us thru natural sources. And it'll be so fun, when Dump goes ballistic on her dumb ass for days on end.

(14,154 posts)She is very unhinged. I'm also surprised she worked for Bill Clinton. I would gather, in retrospect, that she only took it to be close to the power.
She's a sociopath or psychopath, like Trump. She likes attention and is a mean person that lacks empathy for others. I gather like all good psychopaths she can act. So after the initial rush to her ego of Trump asking her to be a part of his administration, and her reciprocated public adoration, in a way that she knew Trump would appreciate (basically treating him like a wrathful King), and after his early racist comments and behaviour, was taking criticism from the black community who are almost 100% anti-Trump.
So she put on another face for Big Brother, trying to rebrand herself as the poor abused black woman taken advantage of. This line says a lot:
"It also said Newman had little contact with Trump after he took office."
Far from being abused, it was more that she was ignored. That was Trumps real crime towards her. I have no doubt that she would still be singing his praises if he had paid her more attention and she was given a bigger title and a nice budget she could skim off a few nice perks.
