The RNC and GOP should have told Trump to step down and give a full-throated condemnation of his behavior but they didn't because they were SO desperate to win the White House that they were perfectly willing to ride his coattails. Trump knew it which is why he kept promising war in the streets if they bumped him off the platform. Trump is, behind it all, a gangster, a mob boss. And make no mistake--it's totally intentional. He admires that kind of thing. Only mob bosses threaten war if they don't get their way. Only mob bosses judge everyone around him by how much loyalty they show him. Only mob bosses take over operations and put family in charge of them. Only a mob boss pays hush money and performs shady transactions in cash. Only mob bosses send in henchmen to intimidate and threaten those whose loyalties they doubt:

The tactics described in the clip totally validate the claims of Stormy Daniels when she said a total stranger threatened her life in a parking lot. Donnie revels in the idea of being a don. Don Donnie. Donnie-Don-Don.
Funny, he seems to have his way with male opponents but women score big damage points. Karen MacDougal, Stormy Daniels and now Omarosa Manigault-Newman. Omarosa is especially damaging because she's an insider. She knows exactly what is going on in the White House. While she hasn't told us anything we don't already know or suspect, she confirms it. Yes, Trump used the N-word on tape. Yes, Trump's marriage is loveless and in turmoil. Yes, his mental health is deteriorating. Her tapes, to give her credit, are excellently recorded. No fuzziness, no verbal lacuna going on. You can hear who is talking and exactly what they are saying. The one tape that does it for me is Trump feigning concern over Omarosa's firing. He sounds SO phony and disingenuous. Funny, he fired her three times from Apprentice to her face but he can't do it as president. In fact, he doesn't appear to have fired anybody face to face. He's Mr. Badass on Apprentice who actually wanted to trademark the phrase "You're fired" but is totally incapable of uttering those words without tv cameras, directors and scripts to help him along. That's just cowardice.
Bottom line: Omarosa is destroying him bit by bit and she isn't going to stop. She loves what she's doing. Like Stormy, she's at home in the spotlight every bit as much as Donnie is. The one area where Donnie isn't a mob boss is that he can't rub people out. If he could, Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, Cohen, MacDougal, Daniels and Manigault-Newman at the very least would be dead. Actually, they'd be alive because they would be too scared to go against him. None of this would be happening. Just like Donnie loves to keep everybody in suspense, Omarosa is doing that to him. What other tapes does she have? One by one, little by little, they come out and prove the White House is full of liars. She's killing him. Soon, no one wants to deny anything because they are afraid Omarosa might be able to contradict them. So they have to distance themselves.
Remember when Trump said he would get the best people? Most of them are gone now--some have fled while others left with a "Fuck you" attitude. People once closest to him are now bitter enemies. Shows how stupid Trump is. You NEVER push those people are away because they know too much!! And when were they ever the BEST? Does Betsy DeVos strike you as the best? What about Ben Carson? What about Ivanka?
As for Omarosa, Trump created her. He wanted her, he got her. Why did he want her? Because she said such nice things about him. This is the level that Trump thinks at. This is the guy who thinks he's a master dealmaker.
