Trump KILLER standing dinner order on Trump Force One - 2 Big Macs, 2 Fillet-O-Fish, choc malted

OMG! You think Trump's cholesterol might be off the roof!!

A new book by fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and top aide David Bossie gives an inside look into the chaotic workings of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the Washington Post, which got an advance copy. Although the authors of Let Trump Be Trump seem to take pains to paint a “largely admiring portrait” of Trump, they still reveal details that illustrate how “a cast of mostly neophyte political aides learn on the fly and ultimately accept Trump’s propensity to go angrily off message.”

Some of the key revelations include:

—Trump loves his fast food: “On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza and Diet Coke,” the authors write. Trump loves his McDonald’s and has a killer of a standing dinner order— “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.” And it’s clear the president takes his meals seriously. Campaign staffers spent lots of time making sure hot fast food would arrive on his plane after rallies.

—Trump loves to snack (but hates germs): It isn’t just fast food. It seems Trump loves all kinds of snacks and the campaign plane’s cupboards were filled with “Vienna Fingers, potato chips, pretzels, and many packages of Oreos.” Trump’s well-known germophobia means he won’t eat from a cookie packet that has already been opened.


ALSO: SEEMS TO HAVE A BAD TEMPER
Trump has a horrible temper (and tends to lash out): It seems everyone who works for Trump will experience his wrath at some point. Although it isn’t meant to be personal it’s difficult 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 write.

It is meant to instill fear. I'll never forget one time when a boss tried that on me. He was known for it. He came as close as he could (given his makeup) to an apology later, and I think it's because when it happened, all I could do was stare at him. I let him behave like a boor and just stared at him. He never did it again, though I left not too long after the experience.

The more people who allow this behavior, the more it will continue. That's another reason I'm not impressed with the promos of Lewandowski's book. It's okay to put up with that behavior, allowing it to rain down on others?

Monkey smart.

A coworker wrote up a station manager for a random bunch of BS. They sent out a corporate VP who conducted one-on-one interviews. During mine, the creep said "I'm staying at the Hilton tonight. Want to join me?" I declined and immediately fired off a letter to Human Resources. Answer: crickets.

I still harbor absolute loathing for that company. (High profile but which has fallen dramatically since its glory days.)

Bastages.

and two deep fried apple crisp turnovers with extra maple syrup with two scoops of vanilla soft serve ice cream ?

We can only hope his stress eating balloons him up past 400lbs. Mueller has only just begun with "The Donald" - and the litigation he intends to dump on that dude's doorstep.

and he comes off like the asshole he is. In the same book they describe his rages, which can erupt at any time and are usually profanity-filled.

It's a good thing Lewandowski and Bossie don't hate him; they might describe his threats to murder his many enemies.

That if the chef doesn’t make his burgers right, he goes straight to McDonalds. All that stress and fast food is going to make his body shut down.
