John Boehner recalls Trump berating a staffer as an 'idiot' and shouting at him to 'f---ing listen!'
Boehner will release his memoir
On the House next week, and on Thursday,
Punchbowl News published an excerpt in which Boehner recalls once golfing with two insurance executives and Trump before he was elected president.
The former Republican leader says that as the group was getting ready to play, Trump asked a young staffer of Boehner's, who they called BJ, for the names of the two executives, and the staffer said, "I think they're Joe and Jeff." This turned out to not be correct, and when Trump and Boehner discovered they had been repeatedly calling the executives by the wrong names, the future president was allegedly quite upset.
