Donald Trump exploded with anger at one of his most senior aides about missing a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a former No 10 official.

The US president’s rant about the missed call happened “right in front” of former prime minister Theresa May in Washington, her ex-chief of staff Nick Timothy has revealed.

Mr Timothy spoke about a “fairly extraordinary” lunch during which Mr Trump shouted at his then-national security advisor Michael Flynn.

“Somebody just mentioned in passing that Vladimir Putin had asked for a call with him, and right in front us he absolutely shouted down Mike Flynn,” he said.

Mr Timothy said the president yelled: “If Putin wants a call with me you just put him through.”

3. Nothing surprises me about this idiot anymore, after Nov 3rd we'll see the rest of the iceberg.

4. In front of one of our truly most close allies

He has no boundaries. And this wasn't recently, when he's obviously lost it. it was in Jan 2017.

5. Maybe Putin wanted to give him a balance transfer of 5.99% and a 3% fee

Instead of the loan shark amount he's now paying.

8. trumps probably late on his payment

Because he's broke again.

6. Trump can't miss any calls from his dictatorship mentor.

10. I think you meant to say boss.

[Thomas Hurt]

11. I think it is more intimate than that.

He isn't just taking orders for Putin's benefit, he wants to be our Putin.

7. Sounds like he's scared...

can't help but think about poisons, and tall buildings..although it might be kind of hard to get him out of a window.

This unfortunate era will end hard & fast.
