(3,474 posts)The full sentence makes it even better:
The anecdote, the aides said, was greeted with silence, and Mr. Trump was prodded to change the subject by Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, and Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.
Even they know that the Short-Fingered Vulgarian (28 years and his nose is still out of joint!) is the drunk uncle that you try to shush so he doesn't embarrass himself even worse than he has already.
