Donald Trump exploded with anger at one of his most senior aides about missing a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a former No 10 official.

The US president’s rant about the missed call happened “right in front” of former prime minister Theresa May in Washington, her ex-chief of staff Nick Timothy has revealed.

Mr Timothy spoke about a “fairly extraordinary” lunch during which Mr Trump shouted at his then-national security advisor Michael Flynn.

“Somebody just mentioned in passing that Vladimir Putin had asked for a call with him, and right in front us he absolutely shouted down Mike Flynn,” he said. “Like really shouted. This was at a formal dinner with butlers and fancy crockery – and he was properly shouting at him down the table.”

I can relate. I used to get upset, too, if I missed a call from my boss.

1. Once Trump is out of office, I would guess a lot of things will come out from employees AND other

countries. They are just marking their time.

Hopefully, these disclosures will also include money/favors.

[Miguelito Loveless]

8. Kind of late for those employees to tell tales

They should be prosecuted along with Trump.

2. It will take generations to undo the intelligence damage

40 years from now US intelligence officers will still be doing Trump damage control in trying to figure out which secrets he gave to Putin.

There are no US secrets anymore unless agents kept them from Trump, because Putin has everything Trump knows or was given.

3. +1

7. And Kushner, who should never have had a security clearance, has given everything to MBS.

Does Saudi Arabia now have all the nuclear secrets they needed to build a bomb? I’m sure Kushner told them everything he knew about US intelligence related to Iran. We can expect big Kushner real estate developments in SA in the future.

12. Everything that Trump knows?

In that case, than not much.

15. Americans rely on some amount of trust from one who leads our country. However, there's a

vacancy of trust in the current administration!

[samsingh]

16. who would trust US intelligence in the future - our voters have shown they'll elect traitors.

[BComplex]

24. Serious, patriotic Intelligence officers need to just assume that ANY secret trump knew about, Putin

knew about as well. And that goes for Jared Kushner and all the presidents spawn, as well as the neonazis in his office.

4. If Flynn was there, this happened very early in Chump's term

Mike Flynn was fired in early March 2017, am I right? He was only working in the White House for a little over a month.

[left-of-center2012]

6. yep ... old news n/t

[irisblue]

20. PM May was in DC 27 January, 2017. Timing matches

[Grins]

21. 27 January 2017

Trump was "president" all of one week.

[irisblue]

23. Same wk as the Muslims airport ban.

Bastards tried hard

[jcgoldie]

9. He behaves like a spoiled child because he cares so much about America...

I learned that by watching the RNC this week...

[Scarsdale]

10. Ah yes. That

tRump. Pure CLASS. Am I right? Theresa May must have been horrified.

[MarianJack]

11. Formal dinner?

I wonder if it was cold McDonald's like when he greeted the college basketball team. If so, than how many trips did it take for Chris Christie to fetch it all?

I'm sure that it had a negative impact on Dolt45's next employee evaluation from Vlad.

13. Ironic that the satin-in-chief SHOULD BE under heavy duty surveilance because he's

believed to be a traitor!...

[oldsoftie]

14. Your comment is really all that needs to be said!

[Kid Berwyn]

17. Shouted him down properly.

“I can relate. I used to get upset, too, if I missed a call from my boss.”

[Initech]

18. Once again, it all comes back to Russia.

[Hiawatha Pete]

19. Trailer Park Trash

To quote Dwayne Johnson's old WWF persona "Rocky Maivia" .

That's what Trump is. Trailer park trash.

Disclaimer- not a wrestling fan, but some of my high school friends were...

[Moostache]

22. Wait a second...

You mean to tell me that I was always right in assuming the orange asshat was never qualified to be anything down to and including 'county dog catcher'?

I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you!


This era (Error?) of history will record in all the gory details just how manifestly unqualified and evil Trump actually is and should be remembered for. His place in history is secure - the court jester of Presidents, the village idiot of politicians and the cruel headmaster of evil, self-absorbed public figures.

I hate that man, everything associated with him in any manner and especially his criminal offspring and grifter hangers-on.
