President Donald Trump Refutes Reports Of Him Using The N-word

Omarosa Manigault Newman, the former aide to President Donald Trump, recently released tapes of secretly recorded White House conversations including one with the President that took place after White House chief of staff John Kelly fired her from her job. She also claimed that she had listened to an audiotape of him using the N-word.

The revelation comes at the time of the release of her new book, “Unhinged,” which offers a scathing account of life in the West Wing.  Notably, the 44-year-old secured herself a staff job at the White House after appearing on Trump’s reality show, The Apprentice. She served as the director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison until January.

Late Monday, Trump took to Twitter to refute Manigault Newman’s claim that she had heard an audiotape of him using the N-word. He tweeted that he had received a call from television producer Mark Burnett, who created the reality show The Apprentice, who has assured him there are no tapes where he used such a terrible and disgusting word. He added that he doesn’t even have the N-word word in his vocabulary.

“I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have,” Trump insisted in one of his tweets. “She made it up.”

He accused the media of favoring Omarosa, writing that “the Fake News Media will be working overtime to make even Wacky Omarosa look legitimate as possible.” Trump said that Newman only had good things to say about him until she got fired. He called Newman as “wacky” and “not smart” after the former White House aide released audio clips of calls she said were made with Trump and Kelly.

“Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time,” the President’s tweet read. “She never made it, never will. She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok. People in the White House hated her. She was vicious, but not smart. I would rarely see her but heard really bad things.”
