ABC Just Released Bonkers Video of Donald Trump Freaking Out on His Chief of Staff Because He Coughed During His Stephanopoulos Interview

ABC Just Released Bonkers Video of Donald Trump Freaking Out on His Chief of Staff Because He Coughed During His Stephanopoulos Interview
ABC News

Wow.

President Donald Trump had already raised eyebrows in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos for claiming he'd possibly accept foreign interference if it ensured a win in his 2020 reelection bid.

But now another candid moment from the interview is making waves.


As Trump was bragging about his "financial statement" to Stephanopoulos, the President's Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, let slip a cough while Trump was speaking. The president finished his remarks before demanding that Mulvaney leave the room and then asked for a second take.

A visibly agitated Trump says in the video, after the cough:

"Let's do that over. He's coughing in the middle of my answer. I don't like that...If you're gonna cough, please leave the room. You just can't, you just can't cough."

Trump went on to finish his answer, claiming that he'd like to release his "phenomenal" financial statement, but that it's not up to him (it is).

Watch below:

The outtake went viral on Twitter, and at least one journalist heard from a 2016 Trump campaign employee about the president's distaste for coughing.

"I was told by multiple people when I came aboard to never cough or sneeze while in the presence of Trump. He thinks it’s a sign of weakness and lack of control. Nobody ever recovers.”

Though the president may see coughing and sneezing as indicative of a lack of control, many saw his berating of Mulvaney as indicative of extreme vanity.

Others weren't distracted by the cough, but by the president's empty assurances regarding his financial statements.

Yikes.

The Justice Department said last week it was creating the fund as part of a deal in which Trump agreed to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. But despite a press release, memo, and a newly-released settlement agreement, many details about the program remain unclear.
