In excerpts from former communications staffer Cliff Sims’ new White House exposé, President Donald Trump is at times irate, paranoid and petty. And as seen in one episode with former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), he could be rudely disinterested.
According to passages obtained by the Washington Post, Ryan at one point was standing in the Oval Office to explain the Republican healthcare plan to Trump.
While Ryan was talking, Trump wandered around, staring out windows and at walls and sipping his Diet Coke. He eventually wandered out of the room and switched on the TV in his private dining room, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to jog out and fetch him back.
Walking out on Paul Ryan’s cockamamie may be the sole wise thing Trump has reportedly done so far.
Ryan wasn’t a policy wonk, he was a bona fide wanker!
I swear he’s like Chance without any wisdom, gardening or otherwise.
So when does Trump start talking to the portraits of his predecessors? Or has that happened already? To quote Dean Wormer, “Fat, dumb and happy is no way to go through life, son!”
His mind was racing, “How do I more clearly demonstrate contempt for anyone that would waste my time talking about health care for those who can’t afford a view of Central Park? Should I belch loudly? I could take a nap? Or offer them the crumbs of this piece of cake I just ate?”
