Katie S. Phang @KatiePhang 3mTrump was in his motorcade after speech. Ornato told her (Former Meadows Chief of Staff) that while in the Beast, he thought he could go to the Capitol and when told it wasn't happening, Trump was very angry & irate. Trump tried to grab the steering wheel. Engel grabbed his arm. Trump then lunged at Engel.

Teri Kanefield @Teri_Kanefield 4m
When Trump got into the car he thought that he was under the impression he was going to the Capitol.
When he was told he was not going, Trump was "irate. . . . said 'I am the f-ing President, take me to the Capitol now.'"
Trump tried to grab the steering wheel . . .

When told no, the president was "irate," and Trump said, "I'm the effing president. Take me up to the Capitol now." Trump tried to grab the steering wheel. Then used his free hand to try to grab the guy's neck. #HATH

Is that he wasn't at the Capitol. So the biggest loser should be thankful that the SS drove his fat ass back to the WH.
