President Donald Trump runs a tight ship -- poised to crash into an iceberg at any second.
No one knows this better than master villainess and Tagsformer senior Trump administration official Omarosa Manigault. A new recording released by Manigault seems to show that Trump -- you know, the president of the United States of America -- didn't know that she had been fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. (She released a recording of the meeting in which she was fired on Sunday.)
SEE ALSO: Omarosa's latest White House recording sounds alarm bells across TwitterIt wasn't like Manigault was a low-level official. During her brief tenure at the White House, she served, per Reuters, as assistant to the president and as director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison. Her chief responsibilities included talking trash about other White House officials and making Kelly spectacularly mad -- oh, and apparently recording everyone without their consent.
The latest recording Manigault made public is allegedly of a phone call she shared with the president after her firing. She shared audio with the Today Showon Monday.
From the recording:
"Omarosa, what’s going on?" a man, believed to be Trump, says over the phone. "I just saw on the news that you're thinking about leaving—what happened?"
Manigault then explains that Kelly wanted her out.
“No, nobody even told me about it," he responded. "You know they run a big operation but I didn’t know it. I don't know that. Goddamn it. I don’t love you leaving at all."
It's unclear whether Trump really didn't know about the firing, or actually did and just wasn't brave enough to admit it.
Anyway, here's what the president had to say about Manigault on Monday morning:
