Trump shouted 'you're making me look like a f******' idiot' at White House staff, report claims
Donald Trump reportedly told aides and cabinet ministers they were making him look like an “idiot” in an expletive-laden rant over his failure to clamp down on the nation’s southern border.
In a March Oval Office meeting in which he called for entry to the US from Mexico to be completely shut down, the president is said to have berated officials including secretary of state Mike Pompeo , aide Stephen Miller and former homeland security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen .
“You are making me look like an idiot,” he said, according to an excerpt of a new book featured in The New York Times , which said the statement also included an expletive.

The week ended with the firing of Ms Nielsen after the 45th President said he wanted a cement wall on the Mexican border, despite contracts having already been secured for a steel barrier.
Asked by Mr Trump to erect such a barricade, Ms Nielsen replied: “Sir, I literally don’t think that’s even possible”.
This prompted the president to request her resignation by saying he wanted “to make a change”.
In another reported exchange between the pair, Ms Nielsen attempted to focus on subjects beyond the wall including requests for legal powers to take down drones .
But she was cut off half way through her request.
“Kirstjen, you didn’t hear me the first time, honey,” Mr. Trump said. “Shoot ’em down. Sweetheart, just shoot ’em out of the sky, OK?”

He wouldn't have to ask for my resignation. I would have quit the first time he called me "honey" or "sweetheart"
Yup, dispute anything the turd in chief says and 'You're Fired!'
He would have had mine the moment I found out I was working for him.
By Tweet most of the time.
How anyone can defend this disgraceful POS is beyond my comprehension.
He insults women, blacks, and Hispanics yet he still gets their support. I just don't get it.
In many cases he gets their support BECAUSE he insults women, blacks, and Hispanics.
Women - You have to treat them like shit.
Hispanics - They are rapists.
Blacks - They are born inherently lazy.
I still don't understand how they can support him.
Don't forget he is also supported by Republicans who decry financial responsibility.
"Honey" and "Sweetheart", omg, lol....
Donny, you need no help from anyone to look like a fucking idiot.
meeting of the no-minds
"YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
" NO, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
"NO, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
" NO, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
"NO, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
" NO, YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT"
I suppose the fact that he realizes he looks like an idiot comes secondary to the fact that he blames it on others. Trump needs nobody but himself to look like an idiot.
There is that.
It wasn't his staff who just suggested (Trump speech for demands) that China investigate the Bidens.
