Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House

by Omarosa Manigault Newman

Also, the public needs to recognize that not all Trump supporters are the same. While you rail against one policy of his or another, you may not know you are speaking to a closet Trumplican. As I traveled the country, the most unsuspecting people whispered to me that they voted for him. People of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, races, religions. It’s dangerous to group all his voters into one box and insult them, when you could be listening to them and understanding their point of view, and finding common ground instead. Rest assured that there is an army of people who oppose him and his policies. They are working silently and tirelessly to make sure he does not cause harm to the republic. Many in this silent army are in his party, his administration, and even in his own family. We are reminded daily that Trump is still in the throes of the Mueller investigation. The special investigators are conducting interviews with subjects who have stories to tell. In early 2018, I, too, received a call from the FBI. We’ll see how that goes. But for me, fifteen years later—through The Apprentice, the campaign, and the White House—I can finally exhale. I’ve escaped from the cult of Trumpworld. I’m free.
