That sounds like why Anthony Bourdain had no interest in ever dining with him.
Yup, one of his great quotes
Quote:
"I just find him personally objectionable. I don't think he likes food. And from people I know who have had to endure dinner with him, if you enjoy sitting there listening to him talk about himself, you know, great, God bless you," Bourdain said.
"He only eats steak well done, and if he knows how to use chopsticks, much less is able to grasp them with those tiny little nubbins, I'd be shocked."

Trump's guy Spicer wants to see the White House staffs' phones to see how many and who are leaking to the media. This demonstrates a very negative management style, but what else would you expect from the Trump administration.
Equally interesting though is Dana Bash's comments, where she says those leaks are part of how the media gets their news and she suggests the media needs the leaks to do their job.
I'm not defending the Trump presidency by any means, which is an embarrassing disaster, but, you have to see there could be some method to what is going on here. The administration is rebelling. Trump is trying to lock it down. And all along the media are supporting this sort of revolt.
Something is going to have to give.
Keep in mind, one can dislike Trump, but, he was elected.
This is a long read but it's a fascinating analysis. The comments are equally stimulating.

All this can only be understood when we look at the big picture. That means the following: we must look a little more closely at the individuals inside Trump’s administration, the wider social and institutional networks they represent, and what emerges from their being interlocked in government; we must contextualize this against two factors, the escalation of global systemic crisis, and the Trump regime’s ideological framing(s) of that crisis (both for themselves, and for public consumption); we must connect this with the impact on the transnational Deep System, and how that links up with the US Deep State; and we must then explore what this all means in terms of the scope of actions likely to be deployed by the Trump regime to pursue its discernable goals.
Spicer's attempt to suppress and discredit the leaks about Trump's Russia ties leaks.
Looks like he is actively tried to contact government and intelligence officials to discredit the leaked Trump-Russia ties and prevent an investigation.
Media outlets and others in positions of power need to continue on pushing for an investigation of the Trump-Russia connection. Spicer trying to suppress this initiative only makes the White House look more suspicious. If they had nothing to hide, they'd let the investigation begin because they would have nothing to worry about... right, Sean?
