Omarosa Manigault, who first gained fame on the show "The Apprentice" in 2004, on Saturday night told Fox News that she would "of course" be getting a role in the White House under Donald Trump.
"Mr. Trump is announcing my title on Tuesday and it’s huge. It’s huge," she told Fox during the "Countdown to 2017," show.
Manigault was the director of African-American outreach during Trump’s presidential campaign. She was also a political appointee in the Clinton administration and a registered Democrat until switching to the Republican Party once Trump announced he would run.
"When Donald announced, my decision was to support my friend in his desire to become the president of the United States," she told The New York Times. "We jokingly called ourselves Trumplicans at the beginning. For independent-minded voters who want to see a change — I mean, even his children were not registered Republican. In the last few months, I feel like my eyes have been opened to the need for a greater presence of African-Americans in the Republican Party. Or in any party."
When asked about Trump’s marketing and branding talent during the campaign, Manigault acknowleged that "branding is everything in the world of Trump."
"The first law of being around Donald is you understand the value of the name Trump, and he made Trump a worldwide brand by destroying 16 primary candidates and taking out Hillary Clinton," she said.
