WASHINGTON (AP) — A former White House staffer is claiming in a new book that President Donald Trump has exhibited a “mental decline that could not be denied.”

An excerpt from Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s new book was published Thursday by DailyMail.com.

The former reality television star, who appeared on Trump’s “The Apprentice” and later served as an assistant to the president, says she was disturbed by a famous interview Trump gave to Lester Holt.

She writes that, while watching the interview on television, she “realized that something real and serious was going on in Donald’s brain” and that his “mental decline could not be denied.”

She says, “I kept thinking, ‘Oh no! Oh no! This is bad!”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Yes she is an opportunist. But still : :open_mouth:

    Guessing she will get some ugly tweets and then some ugly social media treatment (or worse) from those who luv their “GodKing”.

  2. Who can doubt that Trump has “mental decline.”? No sane person can doubt that Trump’s action or lack of actions are that of a normal person.

    Trump’s mental state is so questionable that the incredible decision to put Omarosa in a government position doesn’t even rate in the top 1000 of his acts of lunacy…

  4. But that drunken lunatic White House surgeon gave him a clean bill of health.

  5. Betcha this’ll put Donny right over the edge for the weekend.

    And it’s FRIDAY, so everyone goes home for the weekend. Over-the-top ranting tweetstorm expected within the next few hours.

    Wonder when his head’ll explode from all this.
