Eric Trump, the former president’s son, “flipped out” and yelled at his father’s campaign data analysts at the White House as results came in on election night, an excerpt from a new book by the Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker said.
He had predicted to friends the night before that his father would win reelection with 322 electoral votes, and he was upset that campaign staffers were reporting otherwise, the excerpt from “I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year” said.
“We pay you to do this,” he reportedly yelled at staffers in the White House’s Map Room, which had been transformed into a Trump campaign war room. “How can this be happening?”
