Trump in 'mental decline,' Omarosa Manigault Newman says

Click here         Omarosa Claims Trump Has ‘Mental Decline That Could Not Be Denied’ Omarosa Manigault Newman, the reality TV star and former White House official, claims she spotted “mental decline” in her former boss.  An excerpt of her upcoming book, Unhinged, which was obtained by the Daily Mail, described her reaction to seeing President Donald Trump’s May 2017 interview with NBC’s Lester Holt. “Donald rambled. He spoke gibberish. He contradicted himself from one sentence to the next,” Manigault-Newman wrote. Trump had been prepped to say former FBI Director James Comey was fired on the recommendation of the Department of Justice and not because of the Russia investigation, Manigault-Newman claimed, but that’s not what he said in the interview. “While watching the interview I realized that something real and serious was going on in Donald’s brain. His mental decline could not be denied. Many didn’t notice it as keenly as I did because I knew him way back when. They thought Trump was being Trump, off the cuff. But I knew something wasn’t right,” she wrote in the book excerpt. READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
