Trump pressured Park Service to back up his claims about inauguration crowd...

[HipChick]

On the morning after Donald Trump’s inauguration, acting National Park Service director Michael T. Reynolds received an extraordinary summons: The new president wanted to talk to him.

In a Saturday phone call, Trump personally ordered Reynolds to produce additional photographs of the previous day’s crowds on the National Mall, according to three individuals who have knowledge of the conversation. The president believed that they might prove that the media had lied in reporting that attendance had been no better than average.

Reynolds was taken aback by Trump’s request, but did secure some additional aerial photographs and forwarded them to the White House through normal channels in the Interior Department, the sources said. The photos, however, did not prove Trump’s contention that the crowd size was upwards of 1 million.

Reynolds, who had served as the Park Service’s deputy director of operations for six months before assuming the post of acting director, is a third-generation employee who has worked there for more than 30 year

1. Kick for embarrassing leaks!

2. What a petulant baby

Obsessed with insignificant things just to project a mightier image of himself.
Trump is the very definition of weak man - vain, spiteful, bigoted, insecure, hateful.

3. He thought he could force an NDA on everyone in government I guess? Idiot!

[malaise]

8. NO he's a venal and corrupt self loving narcisstic

whose ego must be fed non-stop regardless of facts because his narrative is that he is the greatest and only he can fix anything.

This is a man with a serious mental illness - not a petulant baby.

9. Yep...he is insane

4. Take this in my friends.

The President of The United States calls the National Park Service Director and bullies him over photos of the fucking crowd size.

Just think about that.
