'Back against the wall': Trump Insider predicts 'stressed' ex-president's next move
Donald Trump is stressed, and is likely to deal with that by causing some form of chaos to distract from his upcoming hearing, former Trump White House staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman said.
Newman, a former "Apprentice" contestant who became a White House aide, spoke to MSNBC on Sunday and was asked about Trump's mindset going into the scheduled hearing in the hush money criminal case.
"It is so evident that Donald Trump has his back against the wall," she said.

She added, "A stressed out Trump is a very dangerous Trump."
"I would be surprised tomorrow if he did not try to seize the spotlight with one of his famous antics or doing something to distract from the incredible and precarious legal situation he faces," Newman said.
The host asked, "What kind of antic could he pull off?"
"Last week, when he also was faced with another stressful legal situation he equated immigrants to animals. He said there was going to be a bloodbath. Who knows what this week will bring with Donald Trump?" she asked. "I can tell you, the video of him golfing and trying to play that he is cool, calm and can collect. I've golfed with this man, and is difficult to tweet and golf at the same time, or cheat and golf as he often does. What we see him doing more than swinging a golf club is tweeting-rage tweeting to get his thoughts out."
