Trump Dressed Down Mulvaney In Front of Lawmakers

“President Trump chastised his new chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, over his handling of shutdown talks, creating an awkward scene in front of congressional leaders of both parties,” Axios reports.

“Mulvaney inserted himself into the conversation and tried to negotiate a compromise sum of money… Mulvaney said ‘that if Dems weren’t OK with $5.7 [billion] and the president wasn’t OK with $1.3 [the Democratic offer] … he was trying to say we should find a middle ground,’ one of the sources said, paraphrasing Mulvaney’s remarks.”

Said the source: “Trump cut him off … ‘You just fucked it all up, Mick.’ It was kind of weird.”
