Trump: Talking Trash About Katy Tur & Meghan McCain. [View all]

.

In an excerpt from the upcoming book, “Sinking in the Swamp: How Trump’s Minions and Misfits Poisoned Washington,” the report notes that the president has had a long-running feud with MSNBC’s Tur filled with personal attacks.

“To friends and advisers, he’d bitterly refer to the NBC News reporter simply as ‘That bitch with the tranny dad,'” the reports continues, explaining, “Her biological father is named Zoey Tur (born Robert Albert Tur), a pilot and journalist who garnered plaudits for work covering events such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the O.J. Simpson car chase. During the 2016 election, Zoey Tur called Trump a ‘fascist’ and ‘mentally ill’ in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and referred to Trump campaign stops as ‘his Nuremberg rallies.’ Two years before Trump launched his presidential bid, Bob Tur started hormone treatment to become Zoey. And ever since the days of the 2016 race, she will forever be known in President Trump’s mind as that ‘tranny’ with the ‘bitch’ kid who annoyed the billionaire demagogue so frequently during his big, loud run for office.”

Like Tur, Trump’s loathing of Meghan McCain has its genesis in his hatred of her father, in that case the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

“‘She’s been getting fatter?’ Trump asked, before launching into a harangue about how she is somehow ‘dumber’ than her father. One confidant to whom the president vented his grievances about the McCain family described a diatribe that lasted at least a minute and a half during which the president spoke without interruption. This person at one point put the phone on mute, hit the speakerphone button, and allowed others present to hear President Trump bash Meghan McCain’s cheeks and, to the president’s eye (ever attuned to the basest aspects of entertainment and cable news), her waistline,” the reports states. “During the conversations, he aggressively fixated on what an awful TV host she was, both on The View and during her time as a Fox News contributor. He wondered why anyone would want to hire her. He rambled on and on about how nobody would care about who she was or what she had to say, if not for the genetic proximity to Sen. McCain.”

Keep defending him, Meghan. You're just like the rest of the GOP Trump suck-ups.

On Monday, you'll be chapping your lips on his butt again.
