"Mark Meadows. I'm coming after you"

snip--

Trump also called out Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the chairman of the far-right House Freedom Caucus. According to people in the room, Trump said "Mark Meadows. I'm coming after you."

Meadows did not take it as a threat. And he thinks if anyone can "bring this home and close out this deal," it's the president. But at the moment, Meadows remains a "no" vote, and while he refused to get into numbers, Meadows claimed there are enough people who agree with him to bring the bill down. The president, he said, "is aware of a vote count issue," and he believes Trump remains open to negotiating changes that could move people like Meadows to vote for the bill.

That said, 1- yay for Republican infighting and 2- would not surprise me if the Trump swamp contains many many mob links.

has contact with Trumpy. It's a great quote that provides an illustration of how Trumpy operates within the context of NDAs. He can be as threatening and aggressive as he wants to be and won't have to worry about people exposing his evil. But that's no longer a luxury for Mr. Trumpy. Now we get glimpses of the real person.

This is perhaps why Trumpy will have a very short tenure as prez. He's alienating everyone who doesn't kiss his ass.
