'Believe Me, My Tapes Are Much Better Than Theirs': Omarosa Continues to Troll President With Release of New Secret Recording
"Donald Trump has met his match," says former White House aide
Aug 16, 2018
Omarosa Manigault Newman, the reality TV star who was fired from her post in the Trump administration earlier this and has been making political waves ahead of the publication of her forthcoming book by releasing secretly recorded conversations from both the 2016 campaign trail and from inside the White House, released another such recording on Thursday.
The new tape, which aired exclusively on MSNBC alongside an appearance of Newman discussing its significance, includes the exchange she had with Lara Trump, wife of Trump's middle son Eric Trump, as she was offered a job with the Trump presidential reelection campaign directly after her termination from her government job.
In the end, Newman told MSNBC host Craig Melvin during her on-air interview that her message to the president, his administration, and the Trump family is this: "I am not going anywhere. I'm not going to be bullied. I'm not going to be intimidated, and I'm going to go toe-to-toe with them. Everything he throws at me, believe me, my tapes are much better than theirs."
At which point Melvin asked, "So you're going to release more tapes?"
"If I need to. I'll do what I have to do to protect myself," she replied. And concluded, "Donald Trump has met his match."

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
