President Donald Trump was "verbally and emotionally abusive" toward Kirstjen Nielsen when she was the secretary of homeland security, according to a new book by the Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig.

An excerpt of the book first published by The Post said Trump "made fun of her stature and believed that at about five feet four inches she was not physically intimidating."

The president reportedly told others that Nielsen was "so short."

Trump would tell Nielsen, "Kirstjen, you're just not tough enough," and say she didn't "look the part" of homeland security secretary, the book reported, according to The Guardian.

The President would have left her alone if she had done her job .

[griswold3]

Did she say this or was this the authors’ opinion?

[SpaceBar]

According to her.

[Williams]

Yeah so? He height shamed her?

[NormsRevenge]

She should have started wearing an eye patch and black leather jacket and knee high boots to meetings.

[Mr. K]

She was lousy at her job... was he supposed to tell her what a special girl she was and give her a participation trophy?

“”Kirstjen, you’re just not tough enough,”

He’s right. All the tools & resources of the govt and she couldnt make it work. And leave it to the WAPO soyboys to make this small issue really bad for the Orange Man. You dont see Chad Wolf crying over stupid illegals crossing the fence like she did..

Ah, I see, another strong woman.

Cry me a river...

Up front, Hey, I’m as good as any man.

Later, They just didn’t treat me fair.

I’m sure men are always treated fair though. LOL

[chuckee]

I see what they did there. A little identity politics at play by the media. She is not being fired for being ineffective. Media storyline she is being fired because she has female characteristics. Wonder why he didn’t fire Nicky Haley. She has female characteristics too....but she was effective

" ... "Kirstjen, you're just not tough enough," and say she didn't "look the part" of homeland security secretary,..."

And you know what -- Trump is right!
I always thought she did not fit the job.

[TruthFactor]

Awwwww

In the progressive lexicon, a strong woman is someone who claims sexual harassment or discrimination when she is fired for incompetence.

[chuckee]

Can we then say Jeff Sessions was also fired for being short.
