of angry drunks I've known.

There is a quote I've been trying to run down; it is in one of the books--perhaps A Very Stable Genius, where someone cornered Trump and called him "an act" to his face. Trump responded, paraphrasing but close: "Totally. I'm totally an act. I'm amazed people don't understand this."

If anyone remembers who it was who cornered him, let me know. It was possibly Scaramucci? Or maybe Lewandowski?
