If it was not already apparent that Donald Trump was out for payback, then confirmation from a former insider should make it more obvious.
On Sunday, former Trump White House official Omarosa Manigault Newman talked with MSNBC host Kendis Gibson about the president’s recent impeachment, as well as his thirst to get even. When Gibson asked Manigault Newman if Trump was a “revengeful person,” she gave a disturbingly vivid picture of how the president liked to operate from her experience.

“You know, he tweeted back when we were doing Celebrity Apprentice that ‘revenge was sweet not fattening,” Manigault Newman remembered. “He actually loves the idea of getting even. In fact, he writes about it in many of his books about getting even with anybody that crosses him.”
Manigault Newman, who was fired by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in December 2017, went on to claim that Trump has a list of people he wants to seek vengeance against.
“I even remember talking with him during transition,” she continued, “he has kept a list of people who he believes has wronged him. And recently as you know with impeachment, that list has grown and he is going through that list, and he trying to figure out ways to undermine them whether that’s through policy, whether that’s through calling them names or trying to attack them publicly, but Donald Trump will find a way, in his mind, even fighting with people who are deceased, to get even.”
With Trump’s impeachment in full swing, Manigault Newman said she believed there was “no question” Nancy Pelosi would be at the top of Trump’s hit-list.
“He has a very special type of venom that he reserves for women in power, in particularly this woman who has one-up’d him, who has beat him at his game. I mean, no one has played Donald Trump quite the way she has in such a public way that will forever kind of tattoo a mark on him. And so, he is trying to plot a way, somehow, someway to get even with Speaker Pelosi.”
There is no doubt that Pelosi has been the leading voice in the fight to impeach Trump, which inevitably happened on Dec. 18 when the Democrat-led House voted in favor of impeachment. Though the Republican-controlled Senate has passionately declared that they will not vote to impeach, Pelosi is still claiming a win.
”He just got impeached. He’ll be impeached forever. No matter what the Senate does. He’s impeached forever because he violated our Constitution,” Pelosi told the Associated Press.
Trump has been beyond vocal about his disdain for the Speaker.

“They are violating the Constitution,” Trump said, calling Pelosi “crazy Nancy,” days after the announcement Reuters reported.
With all of the madness happening in Washington regarding impeachment, Manigualt Newman warned that the people around Trump at this time are “feeding his worst instincts.”
