"....The Times article noted that Trump's aides used TV appearances to get their messages across to him because they found that more effective than communicating face-to-face.

The day after the article's publication, apparently at the urging of Rebekah Mercer, a Republican donor who threw her weight behind Trump during the election, Trump reportedly called a meeting with his top staff at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club. The meeting, the Daily Mail said, included Manafort, Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York, former Fox News chief Roger Ailes, and Manafort's deputy Rick Gates.

When everybody was assembled, Trump reportedly shouted at Manafort, "How can anybody allow an article that says your campaign is all f----- up?"

"You think you've gotta go on TV to talk to me? You treat me like a baby!" Trump added, according to Green's account of the meeting quoted in the Daily Mail.

"Am I like a baby to you? I sit there like a little baby and watch TV and you talk to me? Am I a f------ baby, Paul?" Trump reportedly continued."......(more)

5. I bet the IC 'ears' listening in via Manaforts {micro}phone got a kick out of that little exchange!

7. Kellyanne has said that she reasons with him like she does with her children

8. Trump is a baby and his feelings are hurt

[Ace Rothstein]

9. Big difference.

Babies eventually grow up, Trump never will.

10. You ARE a baby, you stupid, useless piece of shit!

You are worse than a baby! At least babies can be controlled.

12. Sounds like SOMEBODY had a bad case of colic that day.

That's what they get for not burping him after his morning feeding. Kellyanne clearly fell down on the job (unless it was Ivanka's turn -- I think the schedules are classified).

14. HAH!!

Coffee. Everywhere.

[Sugar Smack]

13. That's as close to the truth Trump's ever BEEN.

I'm impressed!!

15. Manafort is up to his eyeballs in Russian corruption

He is the center of the collusion. He was too toxic to stay on as Manager - he had to be moved behind the scenes.

This is tabloid bullshit designed to distract.

19. Did you read the article? It goes on to say

"A second Times article the following day appeared to seal Manafort's fate. The report, citing a secret ledger, said Manafort had been paid millions by a pro-Russia Ukrainian political party. Manafort had long worked as a consultant to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted in 2014 and now lives in exile in Russia.

Aides saw the Times report as the "kill shot" that determined Manafort would be forced out, the Daily Mail said.
........

Manafort said that if he stepped down, it would "look like I'm guilty," the Daily Mail said, citing Green's book.
.....
It was at that point, the Daily Mail said, that Kushner made his point clear: "We're putting out a press release at 9 a.m. that says you've resigned. That's in 30 seconds."....(more)

21. Not thoroughly, cuz i'm "working"

That's what I'm saying, though - nice to know my insticts are being borne out.

[FakeNoose]

16. Didn't Manafort sign a non-disclosure agreement?

I thought Trump made everyone sign a nondisclosure before they're allowed to work for him.

So it's surprising that Manafort has a book out now, and it's not flattering to the Cheeto brand.
I'm pretty sure this means war, lawsuits are gonna fly.

20. The book in the OP was not written by Manafort. It's Devil's Bargain,

by Bloomberg Businesweek correspondent Joshua Green.

[FakeNoose]

22. OK that makes more sense

There still might be lawsuits though.

Cheeto keeps his lawyers busy.
