'You treat me like a baby!': The 'final straw' that reportedly led Trump to oust his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort

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.

Trump has made a kind of progress. A majority of Americans no longer think of him as Hitler Lite. They now think of him as a feckless mob boss.

I downloaded the sample of "Devil's Bargain" and immediately my suspicions were aroused. The author, Joshua Green, explains that he wrote a favorable piece about Sarah Palin. Yep. You read that correctly. He admired her.

That had my hackles up.
Still, I read the entire sample...but I wasn't comfortable and didn't want to get the rest of the book...or I wasn't sure.

So I read the reviews. And in the reviews a writer explains that Green has written a book about Bannon, and as you read it you'll see, not only did Green admire Palin, well...you get it....
this reviewer thinks Bannon guided the book.

Let's get this clear, it doesn't put him physically in a shining light...but it does credit Bannon with winning the White House for Trump. So, if someone else has the stomach to read the entire book, let us know, okay?

Because I have "Al Frankin, Giant of the Senate" and I'd much rather spend my time reading that.

NOT club Trump to within an inch of his life after a dressing down like that?


And WHY doesn't ANYONE ever tell this orange child/man THE TRUTH? They tip-toe around this fake "billionaire" like he has all the power in the world. HE'S NOTHING. I'd be more scared of a fifth grader than I would be of Trump.

HE IS A LOUDMOUTHED, PETULANT, BABY! Someone has to stand up to this piece of shit!
