Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House
by Omarosa Manigault Newman
I had little expectations for this book, and initially cringed at the fact that I spent money on a new copy. So how did I end up giving it four stars?
I actually found Unhinged to be very well written. I absolutely was not looking for any huge aha, gotcha moments, therefore, I wasn't left disappointed because there isn't any.
My main reason for giving this a book a 4 star rating, is that it changed my mind about Omarosa. Unhinged gave me insight into her loyalty to Trump. The biggest thing I walk away with is empathy. 15 years of loyalty, that's hard to walk away from, especially when you've essentially built your life and your career on the opportunities granted to you because of your connection to DJT. When you have a seat at the table, even if you're not being heard, you're still connected.
I can only assume Omarosa's biggest mistake was the confidence that comes with being included. This book gives us insight into the destructive affects of a false sense of comfort and pride. At no point would I consider her a victim of "Trumpland", but I do have empathy. She tried, she failed, she woke up.
This book is a prime example of the old cliche... the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions. Fortunately for her, I think, she was able to get of the tracks before the point of no return.
