Donald Trump hung up on reporters in the middle of an interview and then had his secretary say that he was unable to take their call after he was asked if he ever employed “John Miller” which is one of the names that Trump used when he acted as his own fake PR person.

The Washington Post reported:

Then, Friday afternoon, Washington Post reporters who were 44 minutes into a phone interview with Trump about his finances asked him a question about Miller: “Did you ever employ someone named John Miller as a spokesperson?”

The phone went silent, then dead. When the reporters called back and reached Trump’s secretary, she said, “I heard you got disconnected. He can’t take the call now. I don’t know what happened.”

What happened was that Trump didn’t want to answer the question, so he hung up the phone and then told his secretary to tell the Post reporters that he was busy when they called back.

In other words, Donald Trump did the exact opposite of what a responsible adult who is fit to be the nation’s Commander In Chief would do.

Trump currently has two scandals brewing, and they both are being fed by his consistent refusal to tell the truth. Trump could make the questions about his tax returns go away if he released them. The “John Miller” story makes Trump look like a complete psycho, but he could have stuck to his earlier comments and played it off as a joke.

Donald Trump shouldn’t be president because when he was confronted with the slightest bit of adversity, he hung up the phone and hid under his desk. Trump is an embarrassment to the United States of America.
