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.

Speaking badly about the boss's family relationships, especially to people who hate the boss, can have a negative effect on job security.

Cool.

Now do "burning your young and naive source, because I is a jernalist with ethics".

Oh, that's right - there are NO consequences for a POS who has a secure job as a Democrat Media propagandist.

I would thoroughly enjoy giving "Butt" Rucker a beat-down in a back alley in DC...

Ah, I see, another strong woman.

You spelled "empowered and independent because G'urllllll Power^TM" wrong.

Is saying “You are short” emotional and physical abuse or just the God honest truth.

[Maris Crane]

She was a LOSER.

And now we find out she is a SNOWFLAKE. MORE FLAKE THAN SNOW.

You can’t help being short or old. But ineffective is something under your control and therefore the only thing that should be mentioned.

Yes, it was from a meeting in 2015. The caption was “Five of Europe’s six female defence ministers – Albania’s Mimi Kodheli, the Netherlands’ Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen, Norway’s Ine Marie Eriksen Soreide and Italy’s Roberta Pinotti”.

Some have switched out, but at the 2019 meeting, there were 7, but no more “girls club pics” after they were ridiculed for this one.
