Donald Trump berated his former national security adviser Michael Flynn and other senior staff members for holding off on arranging a phone call with the Russian president in January 2017, according to a new book.

"Are you kidding me? Vladimir Putin tried to call me, and you didn't put him through? What the hell were you thinking?" Trump said in the middle of a meeting with the UK's prime minister, his first White House meeting with a foreign leader.

"Well, sir, you know, you have a lot of calls coming in, and we're trying to manage who you talk to," Flynn responded.

"What kind of bulls--- is this? How is it possible that Putin calls me and you don't put the call through? I don't know what you guys are doing," Trump later told his senior staff members.

8. US equals ME

There is not, has never been an "us" for Trump.

10. Of course that's what he meant. nt

12. Most of humanity has some kind of "us" to relate to whether that be

a nuclear family, one's profession or coworkers, a mate, a sports team, religion, hell - a favorite beer - but Trump is a mere facsimile of humanity.

3. Odd flex I suppose...

I mean; who goes belligerent in front of a foreign official; during your FIRST official visit?

5. Oh

when the head thug calls his puppet he must take the call sickening

7. Trump's lips are attached to Putin's ass,

and the GOP's lips are attached to Trump's.

I don't know what's phonier about these scumbags - - their Christian faith, or their patriotism? It's a close call.
