NBC confirms Trump is a toddler.

Trumps gripes against McCabe included wifes politics, Comeys ride home
Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call.

Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News.

The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser
— an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

McCabe replied: “OK, sir.” Trump then hung up the phone.

Trump thought Comey should not have been allowed to take the FBI plane he had taken to California, according to people familiar with the matter. The president’s longtime bodyguard and aide, Keith Schiller, delivered the news of Comey’s firing in envelope he brought to FBI headquarters while Comey was in California. Trump believed any privileges Comey had received as FBI director should have ceased at that moment, the people familiar with the matter said.

I'm sure Trump's fired any number of people before, and just left them stranded on whatever assignment they were working on at the time Trump's anger waxed wroth enough to fire them. Remember when Reince Priebus got fired, and had to arrange his own transportation from the airport? Trump is a petty, venial little man.

"suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser." Why would Trump tell McCabe to ask his wife how she feels being a loser? Shouldn't he have phrased it "ask his wife how it feels to be married to a loser."

The stupid childish idiot can't even insult people properly!

Trump is "clueless." He may think no one can get at him in his current position, but that is also "clueless"
Trump has made so many enemies, that many will go out of there way to prove OBSTRUCTION, or any other crime he gets charged with. Trump hates with a vengeance, and he will be treated the same way.....and....

he has "no clue" that it is coming, and soon.

Greenish, full of recognizable portions that indicate origin, mixed with numerous substances yearning to hurriedly get expelled accompanied by an odor that has the peculiar effect of enthralling a certain segment of the electorate.


And yes, I worked on that sentence for a while!

...Perhaps "herd" would have been a better choice;


an odor that has the peculiar effect of enthralling a certain segment of the electorate.

Or:

has no clue that government operates differently from business. If he'd fired one of his executives at one of his companies, that person would have immediately lost all privilieges.

Similarly, this thread https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141974540 likewise shows how little he understands of how things actually work in government.

Of course, we all here understand how ill-suited and ignorant that man is.
