Furious Trump went ballistic at Priebus and Bannon, then stormed out the Oval Office (trunc)
Daily Mail ^ | March 4, 2017

Posted on 03/05/2017 8:33:35 AM PST by NCjim

Donald Trump erupted into a 'ballistic' Oval Office tirade against his senior staff for failing to fight off Sessions' recusal amid Russia links and told Priebus and Bannon they weren't flying on Air Force One to Florida, before storming out, reports have claimed.

The president was seemingly expecting a celebratory week following his praised speech to Congress on Tuesday but after a fresh round of Russia allegations, Trump was furious over the 'mini disaster' according to multiple accounts.

He was allegedly especially upset over Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision to recuse himself from all FBI investigations regarding Russia on Thursday and took it out on his senior staff the next day. In his 'ballistic' rant, Trump gave his aides a verbal lashing and told chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Stephen Bannon they wouldn't be accompanying him on Air Force One to Florida, before storming out on Friday.

This isn't fake news. I suspect it's actually disinformation put out there by the Trump team.

Especially since Bannon ended up with Trump down at Mar-A-Largo anyway.

I saw reports that said Bannon was one of those at dinner with Trump at Mar-a-lago last night. I’m not buying this story - it’s similar to the “WH is in chaos” meme that the Left keeps trying to peddle.

Actually, were I Trump, I’d feel the same way. Sessions had no grounds to recuse himself, and all it did was empower the Dems, who now want more.

The recusal creates the impression that there was dirt there, when there is not, and that the Dems might be right here, which they are not.

Possibly fake news - but Sessions should never have recused himself. Why not talk to Trump before hand?? “Repubs do not know how to win, I will teach them” - Trump 2016

Trump strikes me as more the type of person to say “Get the hell out of my office” than one to “storm out” in protest.

If he did bitch at them, then GOOD. Particularly Bannon, who was especially hired because he knows how to fight the Left.

Trump's agenda is being ground to a halt. Everybody knows what's going on here. They don't want Trump to succeed, they don't want Americans to be free, and they want our tax-dollars to continue to prop up the global elites.

You have the story all wrong. After the events of the last 24 hours, Sessions' recusal makes more sense than it did last Thursday.

The big story is now the Obama administration's surveillance of Trump's campaign last year. Sessions knew that there's a damn good chance his own calls and e-mails were intercepted, which means he now be a witness in a grand jury proceeding where Obama officials are the targets of the investigation.
