Calls Omarosa Manigault Newman "that dog" as she publicizes tell-all and cooperation with Mueller

As former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman promoted her memoir Unhinged, released secret White House recordings, and signaled willingness to share tapes with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump tweeted praise for chief of staff John Kelly for "quickly firing that dog!" The tweet, one of a series that also branded her a "crazed, crying lowlife" and "Wacky and Deranged," drew wide condemnation as a dehumanizing, misogynistic attack on a Black woman. Critics noted the pattern of demeaning language Trump reserves disproportionately for women and Black critics. The attack coincided with Manigault Newman's claim that Trump used racial slurs and her stated intent to cooperate with the Russia investigation.

"When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn't work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!" Quote verified against source
