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.

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