"...when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit blocked one of his policies, Trump told Nielsen he wanted to eliminate the court altogether. “Let’s just cancel it,” he told her...adding that they should “get rid” of the judges & using a profanity."

President Trump once offered what he considered “a great deal” to Jordan’s King Abdullah II: control of the West Bank, whose Palestinian population long sought to topple the monarchy.

“I thought I was having a heart attack,” Abdullah II recalled to an American friend in 2018, according to a new book on the Trump presidency being published next week. “I couldn’t breathe. I was bent doubled-over.”

The unreported offer to Abdullah is among the startling new details about Trump’s chaotic presidency in the book “The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021” by Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for the New York Times, and Susan Glasser, staff writer for the New Yorker.

The book, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the latest in a long-running series of deeply reported behind-the-scenes accounts featuring, or written by, Trump administration insiders, with some claiming that they tried to curb the 45th president’s worst instincts.

I'm tired of these assholes not being journalists and holding back info so they can write a fucking book.

[badhair77]

1. I agree.

They get their information because of access as reporters but don’t report. Disgusting.

[irisblue]

2. Peter Baker, like Maggie Haberman, held info that needed to be make public, years back

He sold his good name & reputation for the proverbial mess of pottage.

[dchill]

3. I, too, grow fatigued. News delayed is news denied.

How bad does information have to be to make them deliver the news on time?

[sarcasmo]

4. The grifter King is always ready to, give away a land he doesn't own.

[Corgigal]

5. Another book I won't buy.

I did buy Sarah Kendzior new book yesterday.

Anyway, keep falling on a sword for Trump judges. Yore showing us how stupid you really are. You are depending on the rest of the judiciary’s branch to hold, Trump wanted to kick you all to the curb.

6. Have you started reading it? Any good?

Did you read her first?

I will reserve my last 17 questions....lol

[Corgigal]

7. Got it on audiobook.

Started it, on chapter 4. It’s not a bad price, only 14.99

By the way, I hate Con men, and this country has been crawling in them since forever. How many people grifters have killed. Can’t imagine.
