President Trump's mind is not what it used to be, former Apprentice star and White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday.
Manigault Newman is making the rounds to promote her new book, Unhinged, a memoir about her time with the Trump administration which alleges the president is "a racist, a bigot, and a misogynist." In conversation with NBC's Chuck Todd, she described her past self as a frog in a boiling pot, too long unaware of how Trump was using her for for his own gain.

Manigault Newman also shared a recording of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly which she says she surreptitiously made while she was being fired. She interpreted Kelly's words as a threat to force her to leave quietly, she said on NBC News, if she wanted her reputation to remain intact. Hear that audio below. Bonnie Kristian
