President Donald Trump lashed out at his former "Apprentice" and White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman Tuesday in especially angry terms, slamming her as a "dog" and a "crazed, crying lowlife" as her tell-all book hit bookstores.

Manigault Newman -- who first gained fame as a contestant on Trump's reality TV show -- has dripped out recordings of embarrassing private conversations at the White House as she promotes a memoir about her time with "The Donald."

Her book -- which paints Trump as a racist, liar and a "germophobe" with a "total lack of empathy" -- has plunged the White House and the president into fresh crisis, and her comments to the media have dominated US headlines for days.
