Report: Trump didn't have a victory speech prepared on election night
Axios ^ | July 17, 2017 | Shannon Vavra

Posted on 07/17/2017 8:39:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In his forthcoming book Devil's Bargain, Bloomberg Businessweek's Joshua Green writes President Trump didn't have a victory speech prepared on election night, per the Daily Mail. Also on election night, Green writes, Trump became enraged when Chris Christie suggested that Barack Obama call his phone when he reached out to congratulate Trump — a move which contributed to their falling out. Christie's office says that's "complete fiction." Other nuggets:

How Trump reportedly chewed out then-campaign manager Paul Manafort: After reports that his aides went on TV to reach Trump, Trump reportedly yelled "'Am I like a baby to you? I sit there like a little baby and watch TV and you talk to me? Am I a f***ing baby, Paul?'" The next day there was a NYT report about Manafort's $12.7 million payday from a pro-Russian party in Ukraine.

Jared Kushner is the one who got rid of Manafort and Christie, per the book. When Manafort initially refused to resign, Kushner said they'd be putting out a press release in 30 seconds saying Manafort had resigned to force his hand.

Jeff Sessions, who would become Trump's Attorney General, reportedly told Bannon during the campaign if he endorsed Trump and Trump didn't win, it would be "the end of my career in the Republican Party," but Bannon convinced him to go through with it.

Good Lord who cares?! He gave a great speech anyway and did far better than sedated Hillary who couldn’t even show up for her concession speech.

Like you’re really gonna spend the money to buy the book? I wouldn’t mind reading the lefty authors who really dissed Hillary’s campaign. I’ll check it out at the library or wait for the paperback-thrift store.

WTF ever.

Oh, and I’m so sick of Russia here, there, everywhere I’ve changed my salad dressing to simple balsamic vinegar, threw away my Stoli and switched to Grey Goose and I don’t think I’ll visit Russian Hill anymore...

Like Crooked Hillary, he probably didn’t have a concession speech prepared either.

Long before he ran for President, Trump was already a master of the off-the-cuff or “unprepared” speech — usually without notes!

Why would he have a victory speech?

Hillary should have loaned hers out. I can just imagine Trump talking about that glass ceiling he just broke through.

Works for me. Libtards.

Trump speaks extemporaneously ~ he says what he feels needs to be said, when the time is right to say it

Hillary probably had 8 different versions of her acceptance speech.

OH man, I really hope we get to see her fat @ss go to jail someday. She is really the absolute worst of the absolute worst.

There is one version she didn’t have.

She is a coward proven many times over in her public life.

She was a coward on election night. She will always be a coward. Go away Hillary, you are not America.
