Elton John blares so loudly on Donald Trump’s campaign plane that staffers can’t hear themselves think. Press secretary Hope Hicks uses a steamer to press Trump’s pants — while he is still wearing them. Trump screams at his top aides, who are subjected to expletive-filled tirades in which they get their “face ripped off.”

And Trump’s appetite seems to know no bounds when it comes to McDonald’s, with a dinner order consisting of “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.”

The scenes are among the most surreal passages in a forthcoming book chronicling Trump’s path to the presidency co-written by Corey Lewandowski, who was fired as Trump’s campaign manager, and David Bossie, another top aide. The book, “Let Trump Be Trump,” paints a portrait of a campaign with an untested candidate and staff rocketing from crisis to crisis, in which Lewandowski and a cast of mostly neophyte political aides learn on the fly and ultimately accept Trump’s propensity to go angrily off message.

Yes and they bring it to your car on roller skates.  Problem is, your car also requires a flux capacitor.

By the way, I had McDonalds, kind of accidentally, a few weeks ago.  Nasty stuff.  We were at my mom's for the day helping move some furniture and to help out she told us she would go by Burger King (still nasty but not quite as nasty as McD) ,took all our orders, and came back with McDonalds.  My husband and I looked at each other and then later wondered to each other how the ordering went when she got up to the speaker and started ordering Whoppers.

I spend a good deal of time on the roads, driving to accounts in my territory.  The choices of food are rarely healthy and I’m not interested in acquiring the Trump physique.  However, I will occasionally stop in Whataburger when I’m in Tulsa.

Seriously.  He's already overweight.  He needs to cut back on the junk.

Okay, but his rages that "cut people into pieces'...has anyone EVER gotten up in his face and told him to shut the hell up?

Not that funny, needed to be a little more subtle.

I wouldn't give Corey two cents for his little revenge tome.

    Herb helps, you should try it sometime, after all, unlike here, it's legal there, isn't it?. @Emjay

You need help @corbe.  I don't.  Your Trump derangement syndrome has overtaken your good sense.

If you're talking about weed, it is NOT legal in Hawaii, although I understand that is is used occasionally.

However, since you did admit you'd rather have Trump than Pence, you may be on the road to recovery.  Stay cool.

    I am slowly weaning myself from those rabid anti Trump sites @Emjay and hanging here moore with @CatherineofAragon.
    I admitted to my Mother, bless her heart she's a Trumper, today that he get's credit for discombobulating the MSM and making them retire early for something he admitted to do on Tape a year ago. 
    It's a wonderful World.

Yes it is and I hope you and @CatherineofAragon are very happy together and can enjoy a McDonald's free lifestyle.

     I always thought your professed love for me was much greater than Catherine's, you being from Texas and all always brought an unusual understanding, right?
   If you're going to forsake me @Emjay this is the weekend to do it while my 'X' is in residence, to help me soften the blow.

I appreciate you, @corbe.  You're patient and you always have a kind word for everybody.  That makes you a better person than me.  I admit I don't have time for the BS.

You don't have to keep complimenting me.  I like you just fine, or at least as much as the average dirtbag.
