Omarosa Rips Donald Trump's 'Black Jobs' Debate Remark, 'So Insane'
![Omarosa Rips Donald Trump's 'Black Jobs' Debate Remark, 'So Insane'](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/71/16by9/2024/06/28/711a954265d34345b37f054853851f17_xl.jpg)
Omarosa is blasting Donald Trump for having the audacity to claim illegal immigrants are taking away “Black jobs” … and says he owes voters some explanation for what he meant.
TMZ.com
Trump’s former ‘Apprentice’ ally tells TMZ … his remarks at the debate about “Black jobs” and “Hispanic jobs” were totally insane. Like millions of people watching Thursday night, she says she was left wondering what exactly those terms signify to the former president.
As far as Omarosa is concerned, the only exclusively Black job she can remember in America is slavery … which has her thinking Trump might have let some racism slip there by throwing it back 400 years.
CNN
Remember, one of the lowlights from Thursday’s debate was Trump ranting about illegals taking away jobs … but, in true Trump fashion, he pissed off a lot of folks with his choice of words around the topic. Although his backers would say he was simply playing to his base.
Omarosa isn’t mincing words, however, calling Trump a racist … and citing some old reports about his hiring practices at his failed casinos as evidence.
Of course, she has a long history working with Trump — from “The Apprentice” to the White House — and knows him well.
TMZ.com
No matter what Trump meant, Omarosa says African-American and Hispanic voters are not monolithic … and each person should vote for the candidate that best suits their individual needs.
Still, she wants Trump to clear up the confusion here … or at least have someone from his campaign set the record straight.
As for the debate as a whole, Omarosa says Trump was showing signs of mental decline and neurological issues … and she thinks people forget about that when they focus on Biden’s age and mental capacity.
On style points alone, Omarosa is giving this round to Trump … but when it comes to substance, she says Biden’s the clear winner.
Omarosa’s got lots to say here … and she tells us who she’s voting for in November and why.

57 California native plants that survived the Ice Age to live on today
![57 California native plants that survived the Ice Age to live on today](https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/82a0073/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4032x2117+0+118/resize/1200x630!/quality/75/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F9e%2Fc9%2F21a5ecbf45b5a8f4c50a31988dc4%2Fjuniper-branch-and-seeds-circa-50-000-years-bc.jpg)
At the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, Jessie George and other paleobotanists — the folks who study ancient plants the way paleontologists study prehistoric bones — are compiling a list of California native plants that survived the Ice Age and the region’s first huge climate change and are still alive today.
The researchers believe we have much to learn from these resilient plants that adapted after millennia of severe temperature change, drought and wildfire that changed Southern California from moist and cool woodlands to the dry, shrubby chaparral landscape we see today.
Maybe, they say, these hardy plants can help our urban landscapes weather our current climate change.
Note that not all these survivors would be happy living near the Tar Pits today, and those are marked with an asterisk (*). Most pines, for instance, prefer wetter, cooler parts of the state, like the Central Coast, George said, and would not fare well in Southern California’s hot, dry climate.
If you have a question about whether a native plant would work well in your area, talk to the experts at places like the Tree of Life Nursery and Theodore Payne Foundation, or consult the California Native Plant Society’s handy native plant database at Calscape.
