'Fuming' Trump threatened to pull endorsement in key race because candidate didn't call him a 'great' president

According to a deep dive into the chaos, backbiting and infighting political leading up to the midterms election -- which was a major disappointment for conservatives -- the New York Times is reporting that an angry Donald Trump made a late-night call weeks before the election and threatened Republican National Committee head Ronna McDaniel.

His problem? One of the key candidates he endorsed in an important battleground state refused to call him a "great president" during a debate earlier that evening.

According to the Times' report, the former president called the GOP chair at midnight on a Sunday evening to complain about Joe Lombardo, the sheriff of Clark County, who was running for governor.

"Mr. Lombardo soon issued a statement calling Mr. Trump a 'great president,'" the report states before adding. "The crisis was averted. The next week, when Mr. Trump held a Nevada rally, Mr. Lombardo joined the chorus singing his praises onstage."

LOL. These toadies must be so exhausted kowtowing to Benedict Donald's childish demands. I hope it makes their lives miserable 24/7. Serves them right.

1. Wouldn't surprise me if saying the tRump was a "great" President probably cost him votes.
