Omarosa Is The Latest Trump Staffer To Be Fired!

December 14, 2017 by tamaratattles 53 Comments


There is all sorts of drama surrounding the recent firing of Omarosa from her position as Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison for the Trump administration. While Omarosa denies pretty much everything about the incident, she does admit that she and John Kelly, had a sit down discussion in the situation room at the White House and that she is no longer employed.

Rumors are running rampant that she lost her mind and tried to get to Trump in the residential area of the White House. There are also claims that the drama started not in the situation room but at one of the White House Christmas parties.

It’s unclear to me what Omarosa’s actual job duties were. It seems they were at least in part focused on her being some sort of bridge between the black community and the Trump administration. If that is the case, I don’t think she was very efficient at her job. To be fair, that was a Herculean task to begin with. Black voters went out to vote in record numbers on Tuesday’s special senate election to insure that  Trump’s candidate, an accused pedophile would not be elected to the senate. Trump has been consistent in his racist beliefs since becoming president most notably regarding his stance against Colin Kaepernick who began the protest against police brutality against black men by taking a knee during professional football games during the national anthem. Also during the confederate monument debate he blatantly stated that there were good people on both sides, despite the fact that one of the sides was a white supremacy group. So I’d say that healing the racial divide in this country is not something that he is particularly helpful with. 


Omarosa blames esteemed journalist, April Ryan for doing a hatchet piece on her on CNN, which she implied was fake news. According to April Ryan Omarosa threw a huge fit, tried to get to President Trump and had to be physically escorted off the White House property. The apparent final straw that led to her firing was her demands that she have total access to the president including walk in privileges to the Oval Office. In an interview with Michael Strahan this morning she was dodging a lot of questions saying that when the time is right she will have a great story to tell.

Following the interview, Robin Roberts commented that she is sure that Omarosa will be selling that story. Then she paused and looked at the camera and said. “Bye, Felicia.”

What are your thoughts on this situation? Is it me, or is this like a scene from The Apprentice?

      It is. The video is available online.

      And the Secret Service actually tweeted that they didn’t escort her off property when she was terminated–confirming that she WAS terminated–but not who escorted her out. No word as to whether she was rolling her little suitcase behind her.
      And word is she set off the alarms when she tried to gain access to Trump.

    I believe April’s story….when I found out she made $179,800 a year in that Liaison position..Oh yeah she made a scene and demanded to see TRUMP! After the Alabama election…her liaison services were no longer needed and she needed to see Trump about a severance package…lol.

    I’m waiting to hear her story…its going to be a doozie…

    I have a different position about Robin Roberts comments. The Today show is supposed to be a NEWS show an that demands a sense of professionalism from the anchors who purport themselves to be journalists.

    With that in mind, inserting a personal opinion on Omarosa I find highly unprofessional and degrades Robin Roberts objectivity.

    On the other hand, Sonny on The View today dragged Omarosa and that is fine because it is a talk show, not a newscast.

      Robin Roberts is on Good Morning America, & although there are news segments, most of the show is pretty much fluff & a large part of the appeal is the interaction between the hosts. I missed the segment because I usually wake up to Morning Joe (MSNBC), & only switch to ABC for short periods, so will have to view that particular segment before I can give a real opinion.

      If Robin Roberts made such comments often, I would agree with you, TT. Robin is unusually stoic about saying negative comments. In this instance, Robin showed her strength and integrity with a parse of words. Robin builds her community, and Omarosa does not.

    Marisa doesn’t build bridges, she sets explosives off as she crosses them. George Stephanopoulos is the only real journalists. The rest are just co-anchors who do mostly fluff with headline news pieces sprinkled in here and there so Robin giving here opinion on a celebrity wannabe was no big deal and does not compromise journalistic integrity IMO

    Omarosa having wedding pictures without permission taken on the White House lawn was the start of her downfall.

    I read a story in the Washington Post that The Congressional Black Caucus rejected an offer to meet with President Donald Trump.
    Omarosa followed up by extending an invitation to each member to schedule a follow-up meeting with the President to discuss issues pertinent to members.
    Omarosa then signed the invitation– “the Honorable Omarosa Manigault”
    “Honorable” So pretentious. People are still talking about it.

    I think Robin Roberts is #Winning today. That was so hysterically unprofessional and I rarely see anything like that from her. As for Omarosa, in my opinion I think she got played as Trumps’ one black friend. It could have been a beneficial situation for both sides and Omarosa has certainly extended her 15 minutes of fame. For that she should be proud. While I have no doubt that whatever good Omarosa might’ve tried to do would certainly have been thwarted in one way or another, I think Robin called it correctly. Omarosa is an opportunist which should not come as a surprise to anyone. I am actually surprised she lasted this long. Whatever she is selling though I’m not buying. This is also another good reason not to drink at an office holiday party. If that’s indeed what happened.

    I watched the interview with Michael while getting ready for work this morning and it’s clear Omarosa thought she could push him around, but he held his ground pretty good. She’s crazy.

    The White House said her last day is in January, so if she was fired, she wouldn’t be able to stay until January. If she was escorted out she wouldn’t be allowed to re enter the White House.

    Omorasa is the black female version of Trump, no insight, ego-maniac, opposite of humble whatever that is…no matter what you call it, it goes beyond race and class and wealth lines, they are cut from the same cloth, brothers from another mother, they are deep-down the same person. Of course, he has the power so she had to go, it was only a matter of time.

    Omorasa was fired and she knows the reasons. She really never brought anything to the table. I think she was offered the position because her loyalty to President Trump during the campaign. She was no more helpful than Hillary attending black churches and speaking in a Southern accent.Robin Roberts should be professional and non-biased but we all know the media will take the liberal side so not surprised.

    Trump is being blamed for everything wrong in this country. It’s BS. It’s always been there and Trump had a lot of black supporters….good gawd how narrow minded and fake news possessed can liberals be. I don’t know roy moore. I do know Alabama is one of the most racist states ever (I haven’t been to Louisiana, ga, sc). What’s funny is that black people think that appalacians from ky owned slaves..ha!!! middle ky?? yeah…western ky…definitely but fucking eastern ky?? no way. It’s funny that black people in Alabama shined the brightest where their was the most hate…or the most hate that I had seen. I come from a place where I thought racist didn’t exist well, until I moved to alabama. yeah, it’s that sort of place.

    Few things. Racism exist in every state from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. No exceptions. Some may never have encountered it cause 98% of the town looked like you. Unfortunately minorities encounter it in so Many ways some covert some overt. All Trump supporters are not stupid, some are as Trump himself said they were uneducated but he loved the uneducated people. Many were just frustrated because they felt ignored by both parties and they believed he was different. An outsider. They didn’t see that it was Trump who was stupid because they were desperate for a voice in Washington. Omarosa is a vile self serving snake who had represented no one’s interest but her own. Served no purpose and needed to be gone as my tax dollars paid for services not rendered. Good riddance.
