Trump's "last madness" in the White House was exposed! US: It's worse than we think

Former US President Trump has been away from the White House for more than half a year, and the "mess" left behind during his term of office is still being repeatedly attacked by media opinion. Recently, the US book market has once again blown up a "storm of revelations", written by well-known media people, and a number of books reflecting Trump's "last madness" in the White House have been released. CNN lamented that the new books revealed "worse than we thought."

According to the "USA Today" reported on the 14th, in the summer of 2020, the Floyd incident stirred up the national public resentment, racial protests emerged in an endless stream, and the White House had a headache. During a demonstration in Washington, D.C., Trump was temporarily sent to the White House bunker for security reasons, but the smell-sharp New York Times soon exposed the president's wretched behavior, which sparked Trump's anger, and he threatened to "execute" those who leaked secrets to the media. At that time, a large number of staff members did not dare to come out and try to avoid eye contact with the president. At that time, as protests intensified everywhere, Trump repeatedly proposed to dispatch troops to suppress it, which was repeatedly refuted by Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. At a meeting in the White House War Room, Trump once again added fuel to the violent protests everywhere and asked Milley to "command the army." Milley explained that he was only an adviser in the White House, not a military commander. Trump, who had completely lost patience, burst out in public: I said, I put you in charge of leading the way! Millie also growled, "I said I couldn't do it!" Trump exploded again: You dare to talk to me like this! Millie yelled at the other attendees, "Damn! If you people in this room understand the law, no one tells him what my legal responsibilities are? Then Attorney General Barr had to answer: "Mr. President, Millie is right. ”

The above is an excerpt from michael Bend, a veteran White House correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, from his new book, Inside The Story of Trump's Defeat. In the new book, which has already been launched, the author has compiled and depicted the main theme of Trump's last days in the White House through contacts with dozens of former Trump's staff and political allies - furious quarrels, change of day, discouragement, administrative chaos and even "anarchy". A similar plot is reflected in ABC Washington chief correspondent Jonathan Carr's new book "Betrayal": According to the excerpt, in order to intimidate Barr into an investigation into so-called "election fraud", Trump slapped the former in a meeting and roared, his face flushed, like a "madman". The new work will be available in November this year.

In addition, "Trump's Disastrous Last Year", co-authored by Washington Post newsman Leonig and Locke, will also be released on the 20th of this month, and there are chapters in the book that focus on portraying the "courtiers" around Trump. On the night of last year's Election Day, Mr. Trump's personal lawyer, Giuliani, drunkenly told Mr. Trump, "You just declare the winner" — and the results of the multi-state vote count had not yet been reached, and several White House officials believed that the law was inappropriate. After Trump's defeat, it was Giuliani who did his best to add fuel to the extraordinarily big lie of "election fraud". An insider satirized the atmosphere in the White House at that time: "If there is a 'cool uncle' who drives a luxury car at home, takes your child to watch movies and play around all day, then it is difficult for parents to teach their children to learn well no matter how responsible they are." ”
