Late last night, she tweeted more about his past behavior:

Trump fumes at staff yesterday. When things aren't going well, Trump never shoulders blame.

During the campaign, Trump would routinely kick aides off the plane as a time-out. "They hate me because they hate you," was a refrain.
As people responding to her on Twitter pointed out, this is classic psychological abuse.

(60,010 posts)6. It is known that he listens in on calls at MarLego
from a switchboard he had installed in his bedroom
but I am now wondering if he tapes calls thru it.
cell phones are not ovrheard, just calls from the desk phones in the place
which also indicates it is a much older system.
