Trump’s legal threat to Bannon, by AFP.
Lawyers for Donald Trump have sent a cease and desist letter to former White House adviser Stephen Bannon claiming the right-wing media figure breached his non-disclosure agreement after an excerpt from a soon-to-be released book was published on Wednesday. …
During the 2016 presidential election, then candidate Trump required all campaign staff to sign an NDA, preventing them from making any disparaging comments against him, his campaign or his family.
Interesting tidbits:
Donald Trump and his wife Melania were “horrified” when he won the US presidency, with Melania bursting into tears when the reality sank in, according to an explosive new book.
Mr Trump only ran for the White House to boost his own brand and because he believed his nomination would deliver “untold opportunities,” journalist Michael Wolff writes in his expose on the White House administration, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
In the book, Mr Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon describes the moment the polls showed the real estate mogul now had the most powerful position in the world.
“A befuddled Trump morphing into a disbelieving Trump and then into a horrified Trump,” said Mr Bannon. When he realised he was to be president, he “looked as if he had seen a ghost”, his eldest son, Donald Jr. said. …
He reveals that on inauguration day Mr Trump was “visibly fighting” with his wife and to have found the White House an intimidating home.
Among the claims made by the book is that Mr Trump and Melania have separate bedrooms, the first residents to sleep apart since the Kennedys and that his daughter Ivanka treats her father with “a degree of detachment”, mocking his hairstyle to friends. The colour, she would point out, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair.
Mr Trump has also banned domestic staff from touching his belongings, especially his toothbrush, partly because of a fear he could be poisoned. This is apparently why he prefers fast food, which is “safely pre-made” by a McDonald’s cook who has no idea who will eat it.
I’m not a fan of Wolff’s, and frankly doubt his story.
But if it’s true, how humiliating is it for Hillary and the Democrats, to lose to a big fat idiot who didn’t even want to win?
