Ousted Trump adviser Omarosa signs with Mass. speakers firm

WASHINGTON — Omarosa Manigault Newman, the controversial former assistant to President Trump, is about to hit the speaking circuit.

Newman has signed up to be represented by a Massachusetts-based speakers firm after her recent high-profile ouster from the White House, according to people familiar with the deal and the firm’s website.

In a yet-to-be-announced deal, Newman has joined American Programs Bureau, a top booking firm headquartered in Newton whose speakers sometimes command more than $50,000 an appearance. The prestigious firm also represents celebrities such as Larry King, Al Pacino, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Sarah Palin.

“Rising from the depths of extreme poverty to become the only African American senior advisor to the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump, Omarosa Manigault Newman is one of the most dynamic keynotes in the speaking world today,” reads Newman’s biography on the APB website.

What an idiotic thing to celebrate given it just underscores how much of a racist fuck he is.

Meanwhile under 44, you had this fine woman who is still out there (heard her this past week on Madison's show) -

I'm still waiting for that big wire-transfer deposit in my bank. I need it, after paying for the necessary bribes.

Haiti is on the Caribbean island of Hispanola, which it shares with the Spanish speaking Dominican Republic. The island is right on the border of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates, but it's not really what we think of by "on the continent." So how can it have the largest population of all the countries on the continent?

And my doc is from Nigeria and has been fantastic assisting other Nigerians in the medical field (whether other doctors or Physician assistants or technicians) in getting experience with his practice and we have had some great conversations.

And as we all know, Nigeria is on the African continent and has the largest population on the continent with almost 190,000,000!

10. You're supposed to keep things like that a secret

It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (N.E.P.C.) who was with the Federal Government delegation on a trip to your country during a bilateral talk conference to encourage foreign investors. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of a deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it a top secret because of the nature of this business.

Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a Director, Project Implementation and with the co-operation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue for payment, bills totaling Thirty Two Million United States Dollars (USD $32m) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company and/or individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign individual account to receive such funds. ...

I have the authority of my colleagues/partners involved to propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your commission/share as compensation will be US$9.6 million (30%), my colleagues and I US$19.2 million and the balance of US$3.2 million (10%) for tax and miscellaneous expenses.

blah blah
