No One Knows What Omarosa Is Doing in the White HouseEven Omarosa
The Apprentice star has a top salary and a high-ranking job. But when we spent time with her, it was her wedding she was planning.

Now a senior White House staffer banking the highest recorded salary allowable ($179,700 per year), Omarosa remains a mystery to many members of Washingtons political class and even her White House colleagues.
But on this particular Friday morning, Omarosa simply does not have the time to explain what, exactly, it is that she does. She can give me 15 minutes at most, she says, despite the hour-long appointment. Its a very, very busy day, she tells me, and asks if Id rather shadow her for the morning. You can see me in action, she says.

Its tough to sneak in a question to Omarosaabout her job, her life, her goals, about where exactly we are heading at this precise momentbecause we are always walking, quickly and seemingly aimlessly across the West Wing, and in and out of rooms at the EEOB. At some point we are looking for a certain Josh, though we dont ever locate him, and I never find out why hes needed. As we knock on the door to one office, she finally muffles an answer as to what were doing:
the faith communities, does anyone need to be blessed
Many of her answers go this way, with sentences accomplishing the syntactical feat of never seeming to begin or end. Or they begin and end at the same time: Everything, she says when I ask about the contents of her job portfolio right now.

And while she does pop up in White House press briefings from time to time, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which ones. During our morning together, for example, she toyed with whether or not to attend that days session. I may go, I may not, she said.
If Omarosas White House sounds less like a storied institution than a personal playground, well, thats precisely because she intends it to be. As she writes in The Bitch Switch, a woman in controlof her life, of her relationships, of her careerdetermines her own rules of engagement for every situation.
She may be perfect for this administration after all.

She just walks around all day trying to look busy at doing nothing. Your taxpayer dollars at work.

(4,016 posts)it has anything to do with her skin color.
Opinions may vary here but I think it has more to do with her cunning. Trumpenstein I think saw in her long ago a fellow grifter, liar, manipulator.....essentially a female mirror image of himself. I did see many of the old Apprentice episodes and believe me (sound familiar? hah!) she was a stone-cold bitch!

(2,404 posts)I was infuriated when I read it, and even more infuriated that it barely got any media coverage. Anybody who reads that and still refuses to believe that Trump is a dictator, supported by everyone who surrounds him, is stupid as fuck. I'd have to to look it up to quote it verbatim, but it's scary as hell.
