Follow-Up to What We Need

The antihero -- the flawed protagonist to our villain -- that I had previously outlined in 2015 as the means to destroying Donald Drumpf, exists: Omarosa.

She's the person we love to hate. In most scenarios, she's actually the antagonist, but in the fight against Donald, she's the flawed protagonist who's willing to sully her own cred to the very end in order to achieve her own sense of justice.

For every tape and comment she unleashes, Donald is driven to an ever-deeper self-destructive act and boy has he spiraled out of control this week. He has reportedly sought to have Jeff Sessions arrest her, though it's not clear what criminal act she's committed.

Every time the WH hits her back, she releases another tape to highlight their lies and counters with a new revelation, triggering them into another public meltdown. While the media loathe to embrace her, her voice and message are being broadcast over all channels. 

Her power to trigger Donald makes her an important antihero that we need, even if we do not want her.
