Ex-Trump Aide Sounds Alarm Over Trump's 'Serious' Mental 'Decline' And Hiding 'Truth' By 'Dictating' Medical Records

Ex-Trump aide Omarosa Manigault Newman revealed specific details about former President Donald Trump’s health and raised concerns about the former president’s mental “decline” while accusing him of “dictating” medical records. Manigault Newman, who worked closely with Trump both in the White House and on his reality TV show The Apprentice, spoke to CNN’s Laura Coates on Tuesday, painting a troubling picture of Trump’s mental “decline” and how he has hidden it.

According to her, Trump’s struggles have been especially evident in recent interviews and public appearances but started as early back as 2018, when she worked under him. “The reason Donald Trump is canceling these interviews is when he starts to stumble, he starts to pivot,” she said, noting how Trump avoids policy discussions when he falters.

“He wants to talk about you. He’ll start attacking you, Laura, instead of talking about policy issues because he can’t recall what they are.” Manigault Newman emphasized how Trump’s inability to articulate positions on critical issues such as the economy, crime, and immigration has become glaring.: “He cannot repeat consistently his position on key issues… and that’s what you’re seeing in his decline right now.”

Reflecting on her time with Trump, she noted a stark contrast between his cognitive abilities during their Apprentice days and his time in office. “Donald could come up with these very complicated figures,” she recalled, but by 2017, “Donald was unable to recall basic figures. He would forget the names of his Cabinet members.”

I think Omarosa was on one of the early seasons of The Apprentice, and later she was hired to be a judge on the spinoff show. Then he became President, and Omarosa was given a token "Black job" in the White House.

The way Chump regularly fires people who work for him, and ignores or insults his friends, most people don't know him for very long before he discards them. Omarosa actually stuck around longer than most, Michael Cohen was another, and they both got shit on for their loyalty to Chump.

Nothing she said we haven't known about the con. She's a snake in the grass as many others in his orbit are - slimy and corrupt as hell.

6. This needs to be said by Kamala or Walz, not a surrogate or campaign staff.

THEY never hesitated to say Biden was too old!
THEY never hesitated to question what he'd be like in 4 year!
THEY never hesitated to ask for medical records!

Time for a direct attack on a certifiably Mentally Deficient candidate !

Whenever I would try to talk about their mistakes,
they'd get angry and sometimes abusive.

I had a hard time figuring out what was going on
because I had never experienced that before,
until my aunt's cousin told me about what it was
and her actual experiences with it.

With Trump, it's pretty obvious now. He can't
really hide it any more.
