In an angry conversation on his final day as president, Donald Trump told the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee he was leaving the GOP and creating his own political party -- and that he didn't care if the move would destroy the Republican Party, according to a new book by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Trump only backed down when Republican leaders threatened to take actions that would have cost Trump millions of dollars, Karl writes his upcoming book, "Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show."
The book gives a detailed account of Trump's stated intention to reject the party that elected him president and the aggressive actions taken by party leaders to force him to back down.
The standoff started on Jan. 20, just after Trump boarded Air Force One for his last flight as president.
"[RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel] called to wish him farewell. It was a very un-pleasant conversation," Karl writes in "Betrayal," set to be released on Nov. 16.
...
"I'm done," Trump told McDaniel. "I'm starting my own party."
"You cannot do that," McDaniel told Trump. "If you do, we will lose forever."
"Exactly. You lose forever without me," Trump responded. "I don't care."

What has the Republican party done for Trump except stab him in the back? Trump could restart the Tea Party and millions would follow him. He could win the presidency in a 3-way race like Clinton.

So, he probably said it in a weak moment. I say things often, and a few minutes later realized that wasn’t the RIGHT thing to do. Can you imagine.. someone actually has found a flaw, a mistake, a weak moment in Donal J. Trump. I can find a LOT Of other things to celebrate. I’ll stick with Mr. Donad J. Trump on his good days, and his bad days. We need him, remind him of this. So someone wants to write a book, and needs traction to bump his sales?
GOSH
The usual fake, anti Trump news from ABC? Yup.
3D Chess
The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
As long as a candidate is MAGA, I don’t give a rat’s patootie about the letter after the name.
And of course this is true because it is on the net, right?
Go away.
“The book gives a detailed account of Trump’s stated intention to reject the party that elected him president and the aggressive actions taken by party leaders to force him to back down.”
All that I remember was the party, including Ted Cruz, doing all they could to PREVENT him from being president, at least through the Convention.
" Is Vassar progressive?
Vassar is extremely liberal, socially and politically conscious, etc. There is a very strong gay community, and people are always debating about current issues. The problem can sometimes be that Vassar students focus so much on being "liberal" and "progressive" that they think they can do no wrong. "
Romney McDaniel WORKS for Soros while
pretending to be a GOP leader.
Ronna Romney Soros McDaniel (backstabber
of President Trump) is as honest as
the author. NOT.
But a fair question to ask is why DIDN’T Trump create a new political party? Why did he stick with the GOP, where 80% of the political leaders HATED him?
People on our side who know the correct answers to the above questions also understand why replacing RINOs with Democrats is a HORRIBLE concept.
Johnathan Karl. You are Fake News.
The last 3 RNC chairmen/women are Michael “get jiggy wit it” Steele, Rinse Preibus, and Ronna McRomneybee. Notice a RINO trend?
“according to a new book by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.”
Meaning that it probably never happened, and that the idea of it is supposed to scare us away from supporting Trump. Book length concern trolling by Jonathan Karl.
