Omarosa on Trump: ‘I fell for a con man’

Omarosa Manigault Newman says she “fell for a con man” when she appeared on “The Apprentice” with Donald Trump and later worked for him in the White House.

“For me, I just can’t believe I fell for a con man, a con man who turned out to be the biggest fraud,” Manigault Newman said of the former president in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” released Monday.

Manigault Newman became a household name in 2004 when she appeared as a contestant on the first season of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” hosted by Trump.

Much of the backdrop of the reality TV competition that the cast “thought was real was fabricated, and it was just a house of cards,” Manigault Newman, 49, claimed.

She was eventually hired by Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and later joined his White House before exiting in 2017 and becoming a critic of the 45th commander in chief.

In her 2018 tell-all, Manigault Newman accused Trump of using racist and misogynistic language about Black people and women.

“So, I mean, we were duped, and we were young entrepreneurs thinking that we were really gonna learn something from this brilliant businessman,” Manigault Newman said of her time on “The Apprentice.”

The “House of Villains” cast member added: “All we learned was not the art of the deal, but the art of the con.”
