TRUMP MADE HOPE HICKS STEAM HIS PANTS WHILE HE WAS WEARING THEM

President Donald Trump reportedly made Hope Hicks, now his communications director, steam his pants while he was still wearing them and scolded her when she forgot the wrinkle-erasing device.

Hicks, who worked as his press secretary at the time, was in charge of making sure Trump’s pants and jacket were sharp when they flew on his private plane, according to excerpts in a Washington Post review of the new tell-all book by former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski titled Let Trump Be Trump. According to Lewandowski, Trump would shout out for Hicks to grab the steamer, which he apparently called “the machine” and she would then get to work while his clothes were still on him.

"'Get the machine!'” Trump would shout, according to the book. "And Hope would take out the steamer and start steaming Mr. Trump’s suit, while he was wearing it! She’d steam the jacket first and then sit in a chair in front of him and steam his pants."

Hicks, a former model who reportedly loves Trump “like a father” once faced the then-candidate’s wrath when she left behind the key to his perfectly pressed clothes.

"God damnit, Hope!" Trump yelled. "How the hell could you forget the machine?"

For someone who supposedly really likes Rump, Lewandowski sure makes his former boss sound like SuperSchlub.

I've been burned pretty badly from just a brief spurt of steam from my steamer. I don't see any possible way that this could be done, particularly the pants, with the person still wearing them without burning the wearer until he/she screams. Really. Somethings wrong with this story.

As I said, I know from whence I speak. This was from only a very brief exposure to the steam and it hurt like bloody Hell.

Maybe there is more than one type? I was at a consignment store browsing while the saleswoman was steaming some new arrivals and I asked her if she ever got burned and she said the steam wasn't that hot. Maybe it was more of a vapor? I've never used one. But those burns look terrible.

I would say Nero but I don't think Trump knows how to play any musical instruments.

Burned the hell once on my leg trying to steam a bed ruffle In a house staging job. The skin peeled off and left a horrible scar in my leg. Too bad she didn’t get between his legs.
