Good God what an asshole

Good God what an assholeby digby

This jackass is so ugly in so many ways. This is just another one, but man …

The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call.

Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News.

The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.

McCabe replied: “OK, sir.” Trump then hung up the phone.

Yes, we know Trump had a problem with McCabe’s wife. But seriously, who over the age of 8 years old would say “ask your wife what it’s like to be a loser?” My God.

McCabe is going to be free to speak now. I wonder if Trump realizes this.
