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.

She always looked like she was about to cry to me.

I'm 5'2" and when I managed a large office men would call me a tough little cookie and often commented on my size. They laughed, I laughed. Oh the humanity.

If today's women can't take the heat they should get out of the kitchen. SO tiresome.

I'm sure all the evil dictators of the world shake in their boots when they see the 'Physically Intimidating' Defense Secretaries of NATO.

Wonder why he didn’t fire Nicky Haley. She has female characteristics too....but she was effective.

As I recall Sarah Huckabee Sanders was quite “effective”
at her job and President Trump was in no hurry for her to leave.

Right now, I suspect this is more fake news from more anonymous sources.

Trump is nice to anyone who is nice to him.

IF he was short with her (no pun intended) it would likely be because she was wasn't 'on the team' and was working against his interests.

Please note I said "IF". This is her word against his and an author with an agenda.

Grow up.

Just because many spoiled American women are not ready to handle the pressures of high office (and they are not), read up on history to find out how many women have changed the course of history for good, not ill. Joan D’Arc for one. Boudicca, another one. Dolly Madison. Abigail Adams. There are hundreds more. Maybe thousands, who knows?

horrible hire and terrible administrator who was way above her head, plus wanted open borders like her predecessor Kelly.

Gee two Washington Post “reporters” writing a book. I’ll bet there’s no motivation to make things up.

He probably told the little poser that she needed to do her job and she cried.

She was actively resisting Trump on immigration policy. I don’t care about her hurt feelings, we have a hurt country right now. I don’t even really believe this crap from the WP anyway, they make everything up all the time.

Modern women are toxic. They lead to toxic workplaces.

If women can’t take the heat, they need to find a girlie job instead of a job that takes a tough skin.
