Wrong about Omarosa
Yesterday morning I woke up and sent out a tweet saying "What's not important: The fight between Donald Trump and Omarosa. What is important: The $1,000,000,000,000 annual deficits the White House projects for the next three years," with a link to a piece I had in Sunday's Waco Tribune-Herald about that (you can read that piece here).
But... then I thought about it, and deleted the tweet. The discussion that grew up around the Omarosa dispute (now tied to her release of a book that comes out today), I realized, actual is important.
In case you missed all this, Omarosa is a political consultant who became famous as a contestant on Donald Trump's reality show, "The Apprentice." She was on three times, and was fired each time. Moreover, she was famous for her ability to create drama on the show by engaging in power plays, getting into and extending petty disputes with other contestants, and (admittedly) some great one-liners and beautiful clothes. In short, she created a lot of drama. In fact, in the clip above at about 13:40, you can hear boxer Lenox Lewis say something to the effect of "I fought Mike Tyson, but riding in a van with those two [Omarosa and Piers Morgan] was worse." Wow.
The good questions coming up around Omarosa include:
-- Why would the President hire someone who he knew created unnecessary drama?
-- Why is it that the show he produced and starred in had remarkable racial diversity, but his White House has a total dearth of senior-level black staffers (or, for that matter, interns)?
-- How is it that a staffer was able to record conversations in a secure communications facility?
Or am I wrong?

1. She is a fellow grifter and her drama distracts from his in the public arena. Right now she is beating him at his own game. She is trying to sell a book.
2. The network insured the show had a diverse cast of characters. The cost of ones legal defense is a big deterrent to working in this White House.
3. No idea, but kind of glad she did.
Honestly, $1,000,000,000,000 annual deficits are much more important and difficult to tackle and more deserving of our time and energy..

It confirms what anyone with any sense already knew, that Trump is totally and completely unfit to be President.
Yes, she is also a grifter and a liar. But again, why the hell did he hire her? He really doesn't grasp that being President is not the same as a reality TV show.
It's bringing out the fact that Trump has been trying to get public employees, people who work FOR US, the taxpayers, to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements.
If this incident gets even one person to vote against Trump and Republican Congressional candidates, then good.

Yes, all of the above. The non-disclosure agreements are troubling. And, I keep wondering: Why did John Kelly take Omarosa--any employee-- into the Situation Room to fire them? That seems strange.
