Omarosa says Trump is 'mentally declined'

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.
