In Latest Absurdity in Trump's America, Omarosa Confesses: 'It's Gonna Not Be Okay'
"It's so bad."
Feb 08, 2018
When Omarosa Manigualt was chosen by President Donald Trump to fill an ill-defined White House position in 2017, she probably didn't expect to be sitting on a reality show couch just months later delivering a "bizarre, tear-strewn" account of how truly appalling Trump, his cabinet, and his tweets really are shortly after being unceremoniously escorted from her post.
But in Trump's America--where the question "what world is this?" has become a daily lament--anything's possible.

"It's gonna not be ok. It's not," Omarosa said. "It's so bad."
But like with all the best--and worst--of reality television, you really have to see it to believe it:
