When a Snake Fights a Rat, There Is No Winner: Trump Loses Case Against White House ‘Apprentice’ Omarosa Manigault Newman

Turns out that calling your boss an inept idiot who can't walk and be racist at the same time doesn't violate a nondisclosure agreement.

Former President Donald J. Trump, aka โ€œTouch me and I will sue you!,โ€ has lost another court case after former White House โ€œapprenticeโ€ Omarosa Manigault Newman challenged the orange overlordโ€™s nondisclosure agreement after writing her tell-all book about working in Satanโ€™s administration.

The orange bastard filed the lawsuit against Manigault Newman, an administration aide, shortly after her book Unhinged was published in 2018. Trump claimed the book violated a 2016 nondisclosure agreement she signed during his campaign, which noted that she would not reveal private or confidential information about Trumpโ€™s family, business or personal life, according to the New York Times.

โ€œDonald has used this type of vexatious litigation to intimidate, harass and bully for years,โ€ Manigault Newman said in a statement, the Times notes. โ€œFinally the bully has met his match!โ€

The decision was handed down Monday and allows Manigault Newman to collect legal fees from Trumpโ€™s campaign.

Trump did what he always does: He cried into a wet nap and punched a baby dolphin in the face upon learning that the courts wonโ€™t just do what he wants.

More from the Times:

The book paints a picture of an out-of-control president who is in a state of mental decline and is prone to racist and misogynistic behavior. Ms. Manigault Newmanโ€™s book also casts the former presidentโ€™s daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in a negative light. When Trump advisers tried to cast doubt on Ms. Manigault Newmanโ€™s accounts, she released audio recordings that backed up several of her claims.

In a statement on Tuesday morning, Mr. Trump said nothing about the arbitration case, and instead attacked Ms. Manigault Newman in personal terms.

The media- and image-obsessed Mr. Trump has for years used nondisclosure agreements as a way to prevent staff members from speaking about him publicly, and to deter them from making disparaging comments or writing books like Ms. Manigault Newmanโ€™s.

โ€œThe statements do not disclose hard data such as internal polling results or donor financial information,โ€ Andrew Brown the arbitrator wrote. โ€œRather, they are for the most part simply expressions of unflattering opinions, which are deemed โ€˜confidential informationโ€™ based solely upon the designation of Mr. Trump. This is exactly the kind of indefiniteness which New York courts do not allow to form the terms of a binding contract.โ€

Basically, talking shit about your boss, their family and their ineffective leadership skills or sagging office Slacks doesnโ€™t count as internal information but is just an unflattering opinionโ€”you know, the kind of things Trump hates to hear about himself.
