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.

I look at the picture and the first thing that pops in my head is; is Europe worth saving?

Wow, these @ssholes have really lowered the standard on what “abusive” means. Boo hoo hoo, the President teased me about being short, boo hoo.

You have Plugs Biden exposing his revolting disgusting naked body to female SS agents, Klobuchar cursing her staff and throwing things at them, and Kankles going on regular obscene nasty rants to her staff. The Fake
News @holes don’t care about any of that.

The good news is, nobody reads these “Trump is Satan” books anyway.

There are good women everywhere. Just because you had a lousy boss does not make what you say true. I had lousy women bosses as well but I understood that they were transient in my life. The best boss I ever had was a woman and I was at first reluctant to work for her because of her sex. Expand your mind unless, of course, that is impossible.

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.

And if they weren't exactly "physically intimidating", you knew that if you said something stupid to them, you were not going to get a meek, polite reply. Neither were afraid to push hard for their boss's policies and neither pulled their punches. THEY were the Alpha in the room, even in enemy territory. Kirstjen couldn't pull that off.

The Big Question: who paid for the writing of that book?

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

OK... Where is the abusive language?

"The Council of Washington POS concern trolls is REALLY REALLY concerned about how Kirstjen Nielsen was treated by Orange Man Bad."

And now, the rest of the story:

Philip "Butt" Rucker, one of the authors of the hitpiece and a "concern troll" who blogs for the Washington POS, is also famous for getting a woman staffer [Madeleine Westerhout] fired from the White House because he valued his troll on Orange Man more than he valued Westerhout's job or her off-the-record utterances.

So, enough sanctimony from this back-stabbing POS Rucker.

Trump's personal assistant fired after comments about Ivanka, Tiffany
August 30, 2019

Westerhout liked her job - but:

Arthur Schwartz, a confidant of Donald Trump Jr. who spars frequently with the media, accused Rucker on Friday in a series of tweets of having “burned” Westerhout and of violating the Washington Post’s policies on sourcing.

Look, it's just another unethical Washington POS scribe, "Butt" Rucker, looking for "likes" on his hitpiece from the other bluechecks on Twitter.

This is probably mostly lies.

See my previous post on this POS Rucker.

More abusive than Corey Booker was when Nielson testified before his committee?

Doubtful.

More hurt feelings, big deal. Unfortunately, she was entrusted with an important job, and she blew it.
