Trump Already Souring on Next Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney Over ‘Terrible Human Being’ Jibe, Says Report
Reuters

Donald Trump is reportedly already turning on Mick Mulvaney—who hasn’t even started his new job as acting White House chief of staff yet—due to a two-year-old video uncovered by The Daily Beast, which shows Mulvaney calling the president “a terrible human being.” Mulvaney is due to start his new job at the end of the year. Trump’s announcement of Mulvaney’s appointment followed a troubled hiring process that saw several of his preferred picks refuse the role. Trump reportedly started regretting his appointment after seeing the video of Mulvaney from a week before the 2016 election saying: “Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but I’m doing so despite the fact that I think he’s a terrible human being.” Axios reports Trump was “furious” when he heard about the footage—he reportedly asked one adviser: “Did you know [Mulvaney] called me ‘a terrible human being’ back during the campaign?” A spokeswoman for Mulvaney dismissed the remarks as “old news” and said he changed his mind about Trump after they met.

it'd be hard for him to find someone with a three-digit IQ who HADN'T said something horrifying about him on camera.

His paranoia will get the best of him and now he has Stephen Miller as his right-hand man with no interference.

welcome in this WH. Mulvaney is not so nice himself, since he is taking the job knowing indictments are pouring in for tRump and all in the WH. Mulvaney is a self serving opportunist, too. They all belong in prison. Will Mick get two paychecks, one for each job???

The first is ignorance which comes due when you realize Trump is not going to make you rich. Second is a streak of Masochism you enjoy pain and being berated.

So if you are already wealthy Trump is not so bad. If you enjoy pain being berated and betrayed you are either a close Trump family member or a full blown Masochist.

Mulvaney should recall what happened to Tillerson after it was revealed that he had called Trumpski a 'fucking moron.' Maybe that's why Mulvaney requested the title 'Acting' Chief of Staff. Makes that glide path to the exit a bit easier.

You can't make this stuff up.

because they had opposed him in the primary or had said something less than worshipful about him at one time.

and probably thinks anyone who is nice or even just non-assholic is a wus.

As for:

“Yes, I am supporting Donald Trump, but I’m doing so despite the fact that I think he’s a terrible human being.”

that says something about you too, Mulvaney, does it not?

Donald, you ARE a terrible human being. You have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. None. You make Ebeneezer Scrooge look like Ghandi.
