*Uh oh, it looks like Omarosa Manigualt‘s days at the White House could be numbered. In the meantime, her access to President Trump has been pretty much eliminated by Chief of Staff John Kelly.
According to the Daily Beast, the former “Apprentice” co-star—who currently serves as the communications director for the Office of Public Liaison—has seen her direct access to the president limited since Kelly took the top White House job in late July, according to sources.
Specifically, Kelly has taken steps to stop her and other senior staffers from getting unvetted news articles in front of the orange a-hole that influence his thinking and add to all the internal White House drama.
If there’s one thing we all know about Omarosa, it’s that she’s good at startin’ sh*t. And keep in mind that she’s an ordained minister of all things! But the bottom line is that a lot of crap and infighting seems to be the one thing that Trump really likes to feed on.

The Daily Beast article points out that multiple sources in and outside the Trump White House said that until recently, it was common practice for aides to walk into the Oval Office and distract and infuriate the president with pieces of negative news coverage. Manigault was one of the worst offenders they say.
“When Gen. Kelly is talking about clamping down on access to the Oval, she’s patient zero,” a source close to the Trump administration said.
The stories Manigault would present to Trump, often on a phone or printed out, would often enrage the president, and resulted in him spending at least the rest of the day fuming about it. For example, one White House source noted that Manigault was one of the people who would bring to President Trump’s attention online articles concerning MSNBC hosts, and former Trump pals, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski “slagging him, and his administration.”
The story goes on to say Omarosa’s actions added to the president’s mounting rage against the MSNBC couple, which exploded in late June when Trump attacked them and tweeted that, among other things, Brzezinski “was bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
Manigault earned a reputation within the White House for this kind of stuff, and, to many of her colleagues, it quickly overshadowed her comms duties and pro-Trump outreach to African-American audiences.
Kelly “is not thrilled by any means by [Manigault],” a West Wing official told The Daily Beast. “He is, however, thrilled that he has been able to stop staffers including Omarosa from bolting into the Oval Office and triggering the president with White House [palace] intrigue stories.”
Good lord! Talk about palace, er, White House intrigue. No, let’s get real, White House bullshit!
