*Donald Trump on Tuesday referred to former White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman as a “dog.”
When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

This latest mud-slinging toward the lone African-American to have served in a senior role in the White House comes as he denies her claims of hearing audio tapes of him using the “n-word” on the set of “The Apprentice.”
Manigault Newman, who crafted a career as a reality show villainess after multiple appearances on “The Apprentice,” has claimed she heard tapes where Trump repeatedly used the racial slur during filming of his former NBC reality show. In an interview Monday with Chris Matthews, she claimed that Trump used the epithet while referring to Kwame Jackson, who was on the cast with her during the show’s first season.
“It sounded as if he used it every day,” Manigault Newman said.
Contacted for comment, Jackson declined, telling NBC News he’s taking a “Hard pass on all things Omarosa.”
Omarosa claimed that the person in possession of the tape worked on the show’s production staff and plans to use the recording for political purposes.
“And they saw it — took it on themselves to actually document this so that they could expose him for the racist that he is,” Manigault Newman said.
Trump claimed in his tweet Monday night that Mark Burnett, the creator of “The Apprentice,” called him to say that no such tapes exist.
.@MarkBurnettTV called to say that there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa. I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have. She made it up. Look at her MANY recent quotes saying….

….such wonderful and powerful things about me – a true Champion of Civil Rights – until she got fired. Omarosa had Zero credibility with the Media (they didn’t want interviews) when she worked in the White House. Now that she says bad about me, they will talk to her. Fake News!
