Take a shower, Steve: Fire and Fury claims Trump taunted Steve Bannon by saying he looked homeless

resident Donald Trump taunted his former chief strategist Steve Bannon for having poor hygiene, according to new extracts from Michael Wolff’s bombshell new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

According to extracts published Saturday in London’s The Times newspaper, Trump maligned his dishevelled adviser at every given opportunity.

“If there was anything wrong with his White House, it was Steve Bannon. Maligning Bannon was Trump’s idea of fun,” writes Wolff.

“When it came to Bannon, Trump rose to something like high analysis: “Steve Bannon’s problem is PR. He doesn’t understand it. Everybody hates him. Because . . . look at him. His bad PR rubs off on other people," writes Wolff.

“The president had assembled a wide jury to weigh Bannon’s fate, putting before it, in an insulting Borscht Belt style, a long list of Bannon’s annoyances: “Guy looks homeless. Take a shower, Steve. You’ve worn those pants for six days. He says he’s made money, I don’t believe it.” (The president, notably, never much took issue with Bannon’s policy views.) The Trump administration was hardly two months old, yet every media outlet was predicting Bannon’s coming defenestration.”

Whatever. They are both repulsive. Trump even more so, I think.
