Another Trump tell-all book

“Nightmare Scenario: Inside the Trump Administration’s Response to the Pandemic That Changed History,” [is] authored by Washington Post journalists Yasmeen Abutaleb and Damian Paletta. The authors interviewed more than 180 people, including a number of White House senior staff members and government health leaders.

The book is set to be published June 29.

[...]

The authors write that the COVID-19 response turned into "a toxic environment in which no matter where you turned, someone was ready to rip your head off or threatening to fire you,” according to the Post.

[...]

“Testing is killing me!” Trump reportedly told then-Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar during a phone call on March 18. Trump was yelling so loud that aides were said to have overheard every word of the conversation.

[...]

“This was gross incompetence to let CDC develop a test,” Trump reportedly said to Azar.

[...]

“I’m going to lose the election because of testing! What idiot had the federal government do testing?” Trump exclaimed.

“Uh, do you mean Jared?” Azar responded.

  The Hill
HAHAHAHAHA.

According to this article, Trump also wanted to fire whoever allowed 14 coronavirus-infected cruise vacationers to return to the US and wanted to send all such people to Guantanamo or "an island".

The book will no doubt be a best-seller.
