Yes, it’s true. Trump is recording Oval Office conversations.
A knowledgeable source forwarded me this transcript of a meeting Trump held upon his return to the White House from his overseas trip. My source told me that this is only a partial transcript of the meeting and that there may be more to come. If I get more, I will publish it here.
In this transcript, Trump discusses plans to set up a White House “war room” to handle the evolving Russia investigation:
TRUMP: Do I have to do everything myself? Everything? What the fuck is wrong with you guys? For fuck’s sake, you—
PRIEBUS: I am working on—
TRUMP: Did you just interrupt me, Rinse My Balls? Did you just fucking interrupt me?
PRIEBUS: I—
TRUMP: You did it again!
PRIEBUS: I—
TRUMP: Shut the fuck up, Rinse Pubis!
PRIEBUS: Sorry, sir, I—
TRUMP: FUCK! SHUT UP!
KUSHNER: Yeah, shut up, Rinse My Well-Trimmed and Coiffed Groin Region Hair Follicles.
TRUMP: Ya know, I really can’t stand you sometimes, Kushner.
KUSHNER: Feeling’s mutual. Why do you think you never see your grandchildren?
TRUMP: You’re full of it, Kushner. I see Barron all the time.
KUSHNER: He’s your son, not your grandson.
TRUMP: Fake news!
KUSHNER: It’s not fake news. He’s your son.
TRUMP: Rinse, get Melania on the phone!
PRIEBUS: Yes, sir.
TRUMP: Did I ask you to speak?
PRIEBUS: No, I—
TRUMP: Goddamn it! SHUT UP! Where’s Spicer?
PRIEBUS: I’ll get—
TRUMP: Holy shit, you just don’t learn, do you?
SPICER: You wanted me, sir?
TRUMP: You’re out. No more podium time for you.
SPICER: Fine with me. But I hope you’re not going to put Shit Socks up there.
TRUMP: “Shit Socks?”
SPICER: Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It’s a play on her initials. She’s worse than me.
KUSHNER: Not possible.
SPICER: Bend over and I’ll give you a back channel.
TRUMP: I’m only putting her out there once a week. That’s what we’re doing from now on.
SPICER: You’ll miss me.
KUSHNER: I can’t even tell you’re here.
SPICER: Ivanka… Is that Russian?
TRUMP: Knock it off, you two. Where’s Bannon?
BANNON: Over here. Behind the drapes, sir.
TRUMP: You and Comey... Bannon, I want you to direct our war room to fight this fake news thing on Russia.
BANNON: But it’s not fake.
TRUMP: We need our own fake news to combat the fake news!
KUSHNER: Hey, I thought I was in charge of this stuff. Along with peace in the Middle East, innovation in government and wiping your bottom when you’re finished making poopy.
TRUMP: Jeezus christ, Kushner, that was our secret! Now I’m wondering if you’re the source for some of these leaks!
KUSHNER: I wouldn’t be leaking on myself, Donald.
TRUMP: No, that’s Bannon. That constant wet spot is gross. You’re one of the reasons Melania doesn’t want to live here, Steve.
KUSHNER: But not the biggest reason.
TRUMP: You're getting on my nerves, Kushner. I told Ivanka not to marry a Jew.
KUSHNER: If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have had the successes you’ve had.
BANNON: Such as?
KUSHNER: Firing Comey.
BANNON: Disaster.
KUSHNER: Overturning Obamacare.
BANNON: Failure.
KUSHNER: First foreign trip.
BANNON: You even fucked up the visit with the Pope, for christ's sake. A gift certificate to KFC? What the fuck...
KUSHNER: Kislyak told me he loves fried chicken.
[ROOM erupts with LAUGHTER]
BANNON: Oh, fuck…
TRUMP: Okay, Bannon, you’re in charge of the war room. And you get Conway and Lewandowski.
BANNON: Hell, no. No fucking way. I’d rather bring back Flynn.
TRUMP: Great idea. We’ll bring back Flynn.
MCGAHN: No. Ixnay on the Flynn-nay.
TRUMP: Don, where are you?
MCGAHN: Back here behind the sofa, sir.
TRUMP: Well, stand up for fuck sake!
SESSIONS: I think we absolutely should bring back Flynn!
TRUMP: Jeff, where are you?
SESSIONS: Behind the bathroom door, sir.
TRUMP: Pubis, turn off the recording system.
PRIEBUS: Yes, sir, as you w—
TRUMP: SHUT UP!
