I don’t see how the timing element enters into it, but the whole story is unclear anyway. Like Lulubee, though, I don’t doubt he used the words on “The Apprentice.” The Access Hollywood tape was one incident of his dreadful behavior. It certainly wasn’t the only time.
If Trump hating liberals wouldn’t be surprised, that is proof enough.
So he used these slurs, Omarosa went to work for him, and suddenly remembered it when she wrote her book.
Only Trump worshiping Trumpanzees wouldn’t believe that.
Exactly. That’s what I think too. She had nothing but good things to say about him when she was working for him. But now that she’s going to ca$h in and has book$ to sell, suddenly everything she says is credible?
Michael Wolff turned out to be a big liar too.
I’d far rather go by what we actually KNOW about Trump, such as his tweets, public behavior and demeanor, etc. That’s bad enough.
Same thing happened with Donna Brazile, who once she started dishing dirt and promoting her book, the right-wing media couldn’t get a microphone in front of her fast enough.
Of course, one difference is that Omarosa has tapes of Trump, which at least one reporter has heard and said that it confirms several of the more inflammatory passages in the book.
That’s the other side in this drama. It’s hard to determine who has less credibility - her or Trump. I could see arguments on both sides on that one.
I know as far as Omarosa, her claim about the “N” word has been disputed by Frank Luntz, who I’d consider fairly reliable.
On the Trump side, Huckabee has already said the book is full of lies. Since the book hasn’t been released yet, I don’t know how she can make that claim yet. As far as I know, we only have excerpts at this point.
I don’t know how it works with this particular book, or what Huckabee was basing her claim on, but I have seen pre-release copies of novels before. They aren’t as polished looking and haven’t been through a final edit. I’m not sure, but I’ve always assumed they were produced for promotional purposes for reviewers and such.
