President Trump reportedly told then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that he should ask his wife, who had lost a bid for political office in Virginia, how it felt to be a loser, NBC News reported Monday.
Trump made the remarks in a phone call to McCabe the day he fired FBI Director James Comey that was placed to demand why Comey was allowed to fly on a FBI plane from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., after being fired.
McCabe told Trump that he hadn’t been asked about the flight but that he would have authorized it if he had.
Trump fell silent before lashing out at McCabe and telling him to ask his wife what it felt like to be a loser, according to NBC. The FBI head replied, “OK, sir,” before Trump ended the call.
McCabe’s wife had run as a Democrat for state office in Virginia but had lost the race.
As part of that political bid, she accepted nearly $500,000 in donations from a super PAC linked to Hillary Clinton and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
Trump has repeatedly noted the link between McCabe and Clinton, and has criticized McCabe publicly over Twitter.
He also reportedly asked McCabe who he voted for during an introductory meeting in the Oval Office.
The new report comes the same day it was reported that McCabe was stepping down as deputy director of the FBI amid attacks by Trump and Republicans.
Love it!
Reminds me of the Deck of Cards.
Trump is mean. Impeach!!!!!!
I dunno. The comment itself is so hilarious and humiliating that if I were McCabe, I’d blow my brains out before ever telling the media about it. LMAO.
So what? Could it be considered boorish? Yes. Is it illegal? No. People have said a lot worse to their underlings and it doesn’t turn into front page news.
If he did? GREAT...!
But I don’t believe this AT ALL:
Reallllllly sounds made up by bitter losers trying to make him sound MEAN.
Damn, I can remember when that chart was fairly lean and mean (several months ago).
Now it’s Yuge!
For it to come out now right after he was fired or forced to resign is too suspicious
Original source for this is NBC. Give this due weight.
OK, but did he rape someone or leave someone in a submerged car that he was driving?
that is honestly the funniest thing I have read in awhile— I hope he did say it..
Everyone in DC knows you launder the bribes through the spouse. Just check out the net worth of the family.
FAKE NEWS
Good. I hope Trump told McCabe his wife is an ugly hag too!
I guess they liberals think their own party politicians talk nice and politely to everyone behind closed doors. Problem is, people are leaking what Trump says. I’d be some of Bubba’s and Obama’s behind the scenes rants would peel paint.
Trump said something mean. Wahhhhhhhh
This crap is getting old. They are desperate. Good.
I don’t really believe this. Sour grapes. Making a narrative that sounds sympathetic to the traitor McCabe.
I agree I doubt POTUS said this but I would love it if he did.
