Trump's former communications chief says he's 'terrified' of a forthcoming book by Maggie Haberman

Former President Donald Trump's former communications director said Thursday that Trump is "terrified" of a forthcoming book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Alyssa Farah made the comment during an appearance on ABC's "The View." It came after Axios obtained an excerpt of Haberman's book saying that Trump's aides believed he routinely clogged a White House toilet by flushing wads of paper down it. Haberman's book also reportedly says that Trump has told people he is still in touch with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

"I still talk to some folks in Trumpworld, the ones who have not engaged in criminality," Farah said Thursday. "The former president is terrified of Maggie Haberman's book. This is the first big anecdote, but there is quite a bit more to come."

Joy Behar, a co-host on "The View," asked Farah if Trump was equally apprehensive about "Peril" by The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. But Farah said Haberman's book is the one Trump is most nervous about given her years of experience covering him at both The Times and at The New York Post.

1. Because shame works so well

He gives zero fucks and Maggie is just doing her public relations thing to build "buzz"

[tavernier]

5. Yeah, he's probably spread that around on purpose

So that people will read the book. He loves negative publicity because that’s what his cult likes to read.

7. Actually, he is very driven by shame.

Narcissists have no sense of guilt (I did something bad), but are consumed with shame (I am bad). That's because narcissists have very low self-esteem. They project those feelings by putting down and shaming others.

That's why he always has to be "right", no matter what, including redrawing hurricane maps with a sharpie.

9. I think his shame is what makes him look bad.

[tinrobot]

10. Shame over his loss of the election lead to Jan 6th.

Talk about looking bad.

2. Oh yeah, how about the emails and server........

What about them buster?

[obamanut2012]

3. Isn't it illegal for him to be in contact with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un?

4. Getting a Kickback from Haberman's publishing company, no doubt

Maggie Haberman is a truly amoral person. Don't buy her trash book.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Is that why he complained about having to flush 15 times?

now it all becomes clear.

8. Yup. There's a reason I've always called him Turd.

Maybe I'll have to call him Top Secret Turd from now on.
