The author repeatedly explained that Trump must always be the best, the winner, Number One.
February 2017:
Also referencing the same speech:"Critics praised Donald for being presidential in his delivery of the speech. Some also noticed that he read off the teleprompters very . . . very . . . slowly. I knew from The Apprentice days that Donald is not a big reader. While working with him side by side on my own briefings, I'd come to understand that he read at an eighth- or ninth-grade level. That's fine for some, but for the leader of the free world? We went from Barack Obama, a scholar, an academic, to Donald Trump, who was just this side of functionally literate."
Later in the book:
"Trump constructs his own reality to make himself look good, even in horrible situations, and then he repeats it over and over again until his distortion becomes the only version he knows. His lies and boasts are only, always, about making him look better. The difference between Trump and world leaders who may be a tad bit narcissistic is that he can't function unless everything is about him. He has to be the center of everything. If he's not in the middle of it, he'll force himself in the middle."
I recognize that Omarosa has her own agenda: to promote herself as magnificent. There were a lot of "I" in this book -- I did this, I did that, I was successful, I initiated, etc. But her observations of Trump have been corroborated by many, many other people.
