REVEALED: Trump repeatedly interrupted briefings to ask bizarre questions about badgers
Published 9 hours ago on February 13, 2020 By Travis Gettys

President Donald Trump frequently interrupted briefings to satisfy his preoccupation with badgers when Wisconsin native Reince Priebus was his White House chief of staff.

According to the new book “Sinking In The Swamp,” the president peppered Priebus with questions about Wisconsin’s state animal during briefings about foreign and domestic policy, reported Business Insider.


“After Trump was reminded that the short-legged omnivore was practically synonymous with the Badger State, he’d make a point of bringing it up at seemingly random occasions to his beleaguered chief of staff,” wrote authors Lachlan Markay and Asawin Suebsaeng.

Maybe he feels a kinship to badgers?

Badgers are solitary animals who are mainly active at night.
If threatened, they attack explosively with hissing, growling and biting.

1. I don't think they tweet, though.

2. He should get to know them better.

I understand that one way to get to know badgers well is to be placed in a large sack with several of them.

3. Mb replace that clump of whatever on his head with a nice fluffy badger. eom

[sprinkleeninow]

21. I plum fergot--

🤣

[MontanaMama]

28. I support placing the pResident in a large sack

with several badgers. The badgers should be hungry and sleep deprived.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

29. Or wolverines, if no badgers are available.

[MontanaMama]

30. Even better.

If the Wolverine is otherwise engaged, I vote for rabid raccoons.

[leftieNanner]

4. We don't need no stinking Badgers ..

Sorry. Couldn't help myself. 🤣

[louis-t]

8. You beat me by 10 min.

[scarletwoman]

9. Perfect!

[aka-chmeee]

13. Thank You! I was certain there would be someone.

[Under The Radar]

5. I doubt that he could give a flip about animals at all

However he is likely “badgering” Reince Priebus with trivial facts about Reince’s home state in Trump’s typical humiliation, belittling and intimidation style.

6. One of the meanest animals I ever

encountered. Growing up in Northwestern Wisconsin,our Farm had a Badger invasion one summer as they follow the Opossum and Red Fox as well as the Muskrat population. Talk about nasty holes they carve out for their dens. Broke the Front wheel off a Tractor when I hit one of those Holes. Sucker tried to attack the friggin tractor.

The Ornage Anus would not have any idea what a Badger is was or are. Have to say,they most likely are smarter that he is.

18. A badger dug itself a den under our chicken coop.

I remember watching it dig the hole, flinging dirt a ridiculous distance. It was a grumpy bastard -- flat and mean and oddly charming. Even as a kid I knew to keep my distance from its den.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. When I came back to retrieve the Tractor

from that hole. Thought the sucker would have bailed since the front wheel pretty much collapsed the Den,but,know way,the bugger had dug out his den with the wheel laying in the bottom and he was not going to give it up . Well the 12 gauge ended that stand off. What friggin mess retrieving that wheel. Had to replace the whole spindle on that Tractor.

23. You'll never hear a story like that from someone who grew up in LA.

[Wellstone ruled]

25. Have to say,those suckers are one of the nastiest

animals if you disturb their den or their area. Seen what they can do to full sized Collie. And like you say,not in LA.

7. very early on, Trump showed no desire to govern--to be a President.

[sakabatou]

10. Mushroom! Mushroom!

[LakeArenal]

11. Though I love real and Wisconsin Badgers

they are short and dumpy with tiny hands.

[Siwsan]

12. That gives more credence to my theory that trump* has mold growing in his brain.

Lots and lots of furry green mold.

[Bob Loblaw]

14. Honey badger on the other hand doesn't give a shit

[smirkymonkey]

16. That's probably what he's thinking of.

The meanest, nastiest, most fearless creature on the planet. I think he's considering having Honey Badgers sent to each one of his enemies.

[lunasun]

17. ++ Damn right it don't care

https://m.

[dewsgirl]

15. lol..I read about this last night, very bizzare dude.🤣

[Jamastiene]

19. If you watch the badger doesn't care video,

the badgers does whatever he wants to do and if anything gets in his way, he destroys it. Who does that sound like? Trump does whatever he wants and most in our government are too spineless to bother to try to stop him. They just let him get away with it.

[struggle4progress]

22. "I'm the President, so don't fuckin talk to me about real issues!"

[Demonaut]

24. like trump, "they don't give a fuck"

[John Fante]

26. He has some sort of wildlife on his head, so I guess it makes sense.

[Cracklin Charlie]

27. Those claws!

I would not mess with that fella.
