Very sharp woman. I think we can safely blame her for doing such an amazing job working on the Trump administration. There is always a remarkable woman behind every great man's achievement. Wish her talents and intelligence had been used elsewhere. Great recounting of major events during the Trump election and presidency. So many inside-stories and insights, especially since she's known him up close and personal for like 15 years. She offers something for everybody. Three stars because politics bore me, but I was rewarded with this retelling. ( )

Omarosa dumps on everyone. She starts off the book by describing her firing by Gen. Kelly in the White House. If her description over her firing is remotely true, boy, did the White House botch it!! Omarosa takes aim at Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Mike Pence, Paula White (intimates she and Trump are having an affair), Don and Eric Trump etc.

She is somewhat sympathetic to Melania who Omarosa believes will divorce the Donald after he leaves the White House.

She has very few good things to say about the Donald.She rips his lack of intelligence, his health and how he treats people.

I'm guessing maybe half the book is accurate and if that is true, what a mess we have at 1600! ( )

Interesting and revealing memoir of Omarosa´s history working with the Clinton White House and working for and with tRump, on the Apprentice and then the tRump White House. When tRump´s erratic, raging behavior and corrupt and controversial attitudes incited cult-like followers, she felt it was time to leave. The ¨n¨ word was the final straw for her.

This was entertaining and eye-opening, a tell-all that should be read by every citizen concerned for our future democracy. ( )

Former advisor to Trump writes about her relationship with him the decade before he became President and then for the year she served with him. Even if half of what she reports is true, it is still pathetic. I did find the book entertaining. It is a shame it is suppose to be true. SAD. ( )

This book traces the author's long history with Donald Trump right up to when she was fired once again. She provides some wonderful stories as well as some interesting insights into life in Trump world. There are no real surprises - we know Trump is a racist and treats women poorly, including his wives. However, what was very interesting was her belief that Pence is simply marking time until he can become president, either through an election or an impeachment, and how untrustworthy he is. The author does believe that the president has declined mentally since she first met him as a contestant on his TV show The Apprentice. It was a fun read. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To my loving mother
Theresa Manigault
First words
On Tuesday, December 12, 2017, I was sitting at my desk in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB) in the White House complex, when my assistant, Alexa Pursley, walked in looking perplexed. (Prologue)
Since driving out of the gates of West Executive Drive on that night of my separation from the White House, I've had a lot of time to reflect. (Introduction)
In the moments leading up to my first face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump, I was certain that the next twenty-four hours would change my life.
Quotations
But for the people in Trumpworld, loyalty to him is an absolute and unyielding necessity, skin to followers’ devotion to a cult leader.
I appreciated the role journalists played in keeping politicians honest.
And Donald, like a cult leader, can spot susceptibility in people in an instant. They were fascinated by fame, power, Trump’s charisma, and would do anything to be close to Trump and win his favor.
Protesting is one of the most fundamental rights and freedoms that we enjoy in this country. Our great democracy was crafted to ensure freedom of speech, freedom of protest, and freedom to assemble.
Members of the Trumpworld cult would do anything he said or asked, directly or indirectly.
