Donald Trump fell out with Chris Christie, a new book reveals, by screaming at him: 'You know my number, just give it to the President, I don't want your f***ing phone'.
Trump became furious on election night when the New Jersey governor offered to use his own mobile phone to take a congratulatory call from Barack Obama.
As a germophobe he was also horrified at the idea of having Christie's phone next to his face.
According to a new book Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was forced out under circumstances that were just as bruising.
The President shouted at him: 'Am I a f***ing baby, Paul?' over a news report which said Trump's advisers did TV interviews to get his attention because he watches so much cable.

And I have been following the antics of Trump since the early 70s. The first time I ever heard it claimed that he was a germophobe was when it was used as a denial of the Russian prostitute piss story.

(37,648 posts)Kushner & Trump waited until after the election, and before transition, to get rid of him. Kushner wanted him gone because Christie is the prosecutor who prosecuted Kushner's father for fraud...and got a conviction. Kushner's father went to prison. So Kushner doesn't blame the corrupt Dad. He blamed the prosecutor, Christie. Now we know why. Because the son is as corrupt as the father. And THAT's one reason Trump likes Kushner so much. A corrupt billionaire businessman, just like Trump.
