If you still don’t think Donald Trump is a few stars short of an American flag these days, maybe you should listen to someone who’s known him for 15 years.
Someone like Omarosa Manigault-Newman!
The former Apprentice star didn’t pull any punches about her longtime mentor and White House employer in her bombshell new book, in which she claimed that the deterioration of the president’s mental condition is undeniable.

The 44-year-old, who first met Trump when she appeared on The Apprentice and later became an assistant to the president, claimed she first noticed a “serious” issue with POTUS’s mental faculties while watching his interview with Lester Holt last May.
Per DailyMail.com, she wrote in Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House:
“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.”
According to the former White House assistant, Trump wasn’t so much off the cuff as he was off his rocker:
“Throughout this erratic and contradictory interview, I kept thinking, ‘Oh no! Oh no! This is bad!’ Donald rambled. He spoke gibberish. He contradicted himself from one sentence to the next.”
Ommy was especially shocked when the president contradicted what the White House communications team told him to say about James Comey‘s firing:
“Hope [Hicks, then communications director] had gone over the briefing with him a dozen times hitting the key point that he had fired Comey based on the recommendation by the DOJ which the vice president and other surrogates had been reinforcing for days.”
But when the matter was brought up by Holt, Trump went against previous reports about Comey’s ousting, claiming he was planning to fire the former FBI head and had asked him whether he was under investigation for alleged ties to Russia.

Of course, her insider opinions on Trump’s mental health aren’t the only juicy droplets in Omarosa’s book. Publisher Gallery Books teased:
“Their relationship has spanned fifteen years—through four television shows, a presidential campaign, and a year by his side in the most chaotic, outrageous White House in history. But that relationship has come to a decisive and definitive end, and Omarosa is finally ready to share her side of the story in this explosive, jaw-dropping account.”
Finally!
Unhinged hits shelves August 14, but you might want to take it with a grain of salt.
We mean, Omarosa would NEVER sensationalize her White House misadventures for a seven-figure book deal… right?
