Omarosa Says Trump Was Showing Cognitive Decline In 2018
This was an interesting interview with Omarosa Manigault Newman on CNN, where she talks about Trump's memory problems while he was in the White House back in 2018. She also drops a few broad hints about his health.
Laura Coates played the now-infamous video of Trump's dance recital and asked Newman to comment.
"I have to tell you that that was probably one of the most bizarre displays I've ever seen from Donald Trump. And I've known him since 2003," Newman said.
"It really just shows that Donald Trump has nothing to say to America. He has nothing to offer to America. All he has to offer is weird swaying and dancing and at a time like this in this nation, we need more than just that. and he cannot deliver."
"You wrote back in your memoir back in what, 2018, that you thought Trump was showing signs signs of mental decline. That's a pretty serious accusation," Coates said. (Was it really that long ago that every single talking head took on the role of board-certified neurologist to "diagnose" Joe Biden? How soon they forget!)
"How does that Trump compare the one you see now?"
Newman said when she first knew him, Trump could come up with very complicated figures.
"He could stand there and recall all of the details of a deal and he would share those with us. and too as time went on, particularly when I observed him in the first year when we were in the White House, Donald was unable to recall basic figures. He would forget the name of his cabinet members," she said.
