So the Washington Post got their hands on a preview copy of Corey Lewandowski's tell all book about the Trump campaign called "Let Trump Be Trump."
Which is kind of an ironic title since the book is filled with examples of what a terrible personality Trump has and how volatile and mercurial his temper can be.
Here are a few examples.
Trump's temper:
“Sooner or later, everybody who works for Donald Trump will see a side of him that makes you wonder why you took a job with him in the first place,” the authors wrote. “His wrath is never intended as any personal offense, but sometimes it can be hard not to take it that way. The mode that he switches into when things aren’t going his way can feel like an all-out assault; it’d break most hardened men and women into little pieces.”
The authors “both had moments where they wanted to parachute off Trump Force One,” but they said they got used to it
.In a section of the book written by Lewandowski, Trump is described as flying on his helicopter when he learns that Manafort has said “Trump shouldn’t be on television anymore, that he shouldn’t be on the Sunday shows” and that Manafort should appear instead. Trump was angrier than Lewandowski had ever seen him, ordering the pilot to lower the altitude so he could make a cellphone call.
“Did you say I shouldn’t be on TV on Sunday? I’ll go on TV anytime I g--dam f---ing want and you won’t say another f---ing word about me!” Trump yelled at Manafort, according to Lewandowski. “Tone it down? I wanna turn it up! . . . You’re a political pro? Let me tell you something. I’m a pro at life. I’ve been around a time or two. I know guys like you, with your hair and skin . . .”
Lewandowski called it “one of the greatest takedowns in the history of the world.”
Trump's gluttony:
Trump’s fast-food diet is a theme. “On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” the authors write.
The plane’s cupboards were stacked with Vienna Fingers, potato chips, pretzels and many packages of Oreos because Trump, a renowned germaphobe, would not eat from a previously opened package.
The book notes that “the orchestrating and timing of Mr. Trump’s meals was as important as any other aspect of his march to the presidency,” and it describes the elaborate efforts that Lewandowski and other top aides went through to carefully time their delivery of hot fast food to Trump’s plane as he was departing his rallies.
Lewandowski described a typical Trump dinner order as consisting of "Two Big Macs, two Filet-o-fish sandwiches, and a chocolate malt."
And this was not a weekend binge meal, this was a consistent meal choice.
Hope Hicks:
One of Hicks’s jobs was to make sure that Trump’s suits were pressed when they flew on his plane.
“
‘Get the machine!’ ” Trump would yell, according to the book. “And Hope would take out the steamer and start steaming Mr. Trump’s suit, while he was wearing it! She’d steam the jacket first and then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants.”
One day, when Hicks forgot the steamer, Trump became angry.
“G--dammit, Hope! How the hell could you forget the machine?”
The authors wrote, “It was a mistake she would never make again.”
Oh yeah, she's doing him.
Lewandowski and his co-author, former senior campaign aide David Bossie, still express support for Trump which kind of makes you wonder what the books that come out about Trump from people who eventually turned on him will contain.
‘Get the machine!’ then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants.”
ReplyDeleteYEP I bet $-he
$Teams his pants all RIGHT.
😝
DeleteU people are way off base by insinuating that there's something sexual between Hope and 45. It came out recently that she views him as a father figure. So Hope and Fat Donald have the same type of relationship as Ivanka and Fat Donald......... oh, yeah. She's doing him
DeleteNow wait just a minute,are you telling me Mr.Billionaire trump doesn't have a butler to take of his wardrobe.
DeleteGosh Hope might have been a model,but she must have very low self esteem to perform pants steaming: )
So -- Hope Hicks would ". . . sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants."
ReplyDeleteO-o-o-o-o-o-kay.
The jokes about this freak show just write themselves.
You BET they do, Old Redneck!
DeleteHer parents must be SO proud.
MY parents would have sat me down in a chair and asked, "have you lost your MIND?"
DeleteIf I was on Twitter, I'd give one Miss Hope Hicks a world of sarcasm. There's something seriously wrong in her brain.
Delete"Why certainly not, Miss Hicks! That was merely a tiny Vienna finger sausage that escaped my grasp. Luckily my lap caught it. Ooops, though, perhaps you should dab the grease off my trouser spot."
DeleteWildly gagging Tortoise
that's disgusting.
DeleteToo bad Seinfeld is no longer on.

ReplyDeleteDowd's defense of Trump's tweet makes *no sense*.
ReplyDelete(1) He says Trump didn't know someone else's words were on his Twitter.
(2) He says Yates hid from Trump that Flynn committed a crime.
(3) He implies Flynn lied to the transition—contradicting Flynn's SoO.

DeleteA book about the Trump campaign that will be out Tuesday — "Let Trump Be Trump," by top campaign officials Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie — includes a typical Trump order from McDonald's (via WashPost): "two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted."
ReplyDeleteWe did a little math, using the Nutrition Calculator on the McDonald's website:
Big Mac 540 calories, 28 grams of fat, times 2 = 1,080 calories, 56 grams of fat
Filet-O-Fish: 410 calories, 20 grams of fat, times 2 = 820 calories, 40 grams of fat
McCafé chocolate shake: 530 calories, 15 grams of fat
For one meal, that's a whopper 2,430 calories and 111 grams of fat.
Assuming Trump was "moderately active" during the campaign, U.S. nutrition guidelines estimates the daily calorie need for a man of his age is 2,200 (2,600 if you give him "active," the highest category, which includes walking more than 3 miles a day).
The upper limit for a big diet — 2,800 calories — is 93 total fat grams a day.

DeleteOperative Offered Trump Campaign ‘Kremlin Connection’ Using N.R.A. Ties
ReplyDeleteA conservative operative trumpeting his close ties to the National Rifle Association and Russia told a Trump campaign adviser last year that he could arrange a back-channel meeting between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, according to an email sent to the Trump campaign.
A May 2016 email to the campaign adviser, Rick Dearborn, bore the subject line “Kremlin Connection.” In it, the N.R.A. member said he wanted the advice of Mr. Dearborn and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, then a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and Mr. Dearborn’s longtime boss, about how to proceed in connecting the two leaders.
Russia, he wrote, was “quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S.” and would attempt to use the N.R.A.’s annual convention in Louisville, Ky., to make “‘first contact.’” The email, which was among a trove of campaign-related documents turned over to investigators on Capitol Hill, was described in detail to The New York Times.
Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, secured a guilty plea on Friday from President Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, for lying to the F.B.I. about contacts with Moscow’s former ambassador to the United States. But those contacts came after Mr. Trump’s improbable election victory.
The emailed outreach from the conservative operative to Mr. Dearborn came far earlier, around the same time that Russians were trying to make other connections to the Trump campaign. Another contact came through an American advocate for Christian and veterans causes, and together, the outreach shows how, as Mr. Trump closed in on the nomination, Russians were using three foundational pillars of the Republican Party — guns, veterans and Christian conservatives — to try to make contact with his unorthodox campaign.

Fake news and botnets: how Russia weaponised the web
ReplyDeleteThe digital attack that brought Estonia to a standstill 10 years ago was the first shot in a cyberwar that has been raging between Moscow and the west ever since

"“It’s going down,” Aarelaid declared. Alongside the street fighting, reports of digital attacks were beginning to filter in. The websites of the parliament, major universities, and national newspapers were crashing."
Delete"“We live in the future. Online banking, online news, text messages, online shopping – total digitisation has made everything quicker and easier,” Priisalu said. “But it also creates the possibility that we can be thrown back centuries in a couple of seconds.”
"“Mail-bombing” email barrages and volleys of status and location queries overloaded servers across the country, bringing crucial parts of the Estonian internet to a halt. Some websites, according to the BBC, were “defaced,” redirecting users “to images of Soviet soldiers and quotations from Martin Luther King Jr about resisting evil”. “WAR dialing”" Botnets cost money, and this was funded by online accounts that anyone could pay into. The attacks seemed somehow to have been outsourced, with the cost of the aggression crowdfunded." absurdly sad solution:
they pulled the plug."stonia helped crystallise an emerging consensus that cyber-attacks could constitute warfare.

That would be the latter. He has never been held accountable in his entire life. When he gets close he lies and rewrites history.
DeleteThe Access Hollywood tapes? How he sorta apologized and mansplained it away as locker room talk, then dismissed it as insignificant. Well, now he’s revisitng that and saying the tape is fake and it never happened. That in a nutshell is the story of his life. That is his consistent behavior for the last 70 years. He makes his own reality. He has a tantrum like a 2 year old when reality and his worldview clash and he is forced to deviate from his desired universe.

Watch Adam Schiff Rock The White House And Terrify Trump With Obstruction Of Justice Talk
ReplyDeleteRep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee sent the White House reeling and Trump scurrying as he explains why Flynn’s flip strengthens the obstruction of justice charge against Trump.
Video:
...The White House is terrified of obstruction of justice. Trump’s Sunday morning tweet attacking the credibility of James Comey is proof that he is terrified of obstruction of justice. Rep. Schiff laid out why Trump should be so frightened. Mike Flynn can provide the motive for Trump’s firing of Comey. If Flynn can testify that Trump knew about the communications with Russia, it strengthens the case for an obstruction of justice charge against the President.
...Trump is lashing out and trying to keep his supporters with him, as dogged investigators like Adam Schiff continue to close in each day in the truth.
