John Boehner Reveals The 'Very, Very Small' Thing That Enraged Trump At Golf Fundraiser

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump once flipped out during a golf fundraiser after one of John Boehner’s aides accidentally gave the wrong names for their playing partners, the former GOP House speaker recalls in his upcoming book.

Trump, in the incident that took place years before his presidency, reportedly raged at Boehner’s staffer and asked if he was “some kind of idiot,” per passages from “On the House: A Washington Memoir” published by Punchbowl News on Thursday.

Trump, furious after finding out he’d been calling the insurance executives that he and Boehner had played a round of golf with by different names, “gave the young man a piece of advice that he — and I — have never forgotten,” wrote the Ohio Republican, who left the House in 2015.

“And I hesitate to put an expletive in the mouth of a former president of the United States, but here it goes anyway. ‘You want to know how to remember somebody’s name?’ Trump asked. ’You fucking LISTEN!” Boehner remembered.

“This was more than New York bluster,” Boehner said of Trump’s volcanic lather. “This was real anger, over something very, very small. We had no idea then what that anger would do to our country.”

1. Soooo, did the original,orange man ever speak up during the reign of terror??? Did he ever speak

up during the campaign?

[captain queeg]

2. That's pretty funnny considering how often trump gets names wrong.

I sure don’t miss him. I can tolerate an occasional anecdote nowadays. Much better than when he dominated the news cycle. And I’m sure it drives him crazy not to be in the news every day.

[A HERETIC I AM]

4. Yeah. He must have used that technique when he introduced...

Marillyn Lockheed and Tim Apple

[soothsayer]

5. And Rick Gaetz

[Marie Marie]

11. And, the fact that HE never fucking listened.

[Red Mountain]

3. of course not

his book wasn't finished.

[Azathoth]

6. Actually, that's one of the few justifiable Trump tantrums

Like it or not, no matter what business you're in, being "executive level" means bringing in business/fundraising by shmoozing with important people. And part of that shmoozing is being able to address those people by their correct names.

Pretty much any politico/exec would be pissed if they discovered they had spent the day addressing rich donors by the wrong names.

[Demobrat]

7. Any reason the rich donor couldn't simply correct him?

Hey Jim
My name is John
Oh, sorry. Hey John

[speak easy]

8. 'Tim Apple' ?

[Grokenstein]

9. Oh. When you say "Trump" and "very, very small thing" in the same sentence

I automatically think of a wilted toadstool for some reason.

[Initech]

10. He such a petty, pathetic piece of garbage.

[TomDaisy]

12. Starburst Steve. Rick Gaetz. "Pleasure, California." Tim Apple.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

The only thing about it that would surprise me would be the offending event being as trivial as the offender wearing the wrong socks.

[live love laugh]

14. His penis? ("...very very small thing...")
