Former Apprentice contestant Omarosa Manigault might need a refresher on democracy. In an interview for a PBS Frontline special set to air Tuesday, Manigault, Donald Trump's campaign director of African-American outreach, ascribed a potential President Trump a bit more power than the executive typically wields. "Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump," she said. "It's everyone who's ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe."
You can catch Manigault's full interview Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on PBS' "Inside the Night President Obama Took On Donald Trump." The episode is about the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner, where Obama joked about Trump's birther theories, reportedly inspiring Trump to launch his presidential bid. And in the meantime, you can watch Manigault's ominous prediction below, starting at the 4:47 mark. Becca Stanek
