Trump said whoever 'leaked' info on his White House bunker stay should be 'executed,' new book claim
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Then-President Donald Trump told a number of his advisers in 2020 that whoever leaked information about his stay in the White House bunker during protests last June had committed treason and should be executed for sharing details about the episode with members of the press, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
Trump, along with then-first lady Melania Trump and their son, Barron, were all taken to the underground bunker for a period of time during the protests spurred by the police killing of George Floyd as protesters gathered outside the building. Bender writes in the book, titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost, that Trump, in the days following his time in the bunker, held a tense meeting with top military, law enforcement and West Wing advisers, in which he aired grievances over the leak.
"Trump boiled over about the bunker story as soon as they arrived and shouted at them to smoke out whoever had leaked it. It was the most upset some aides had ever seen the president," Bender writes.
'Whoever did that, they should be charged with treason!' Trump yelled. 'They should be executed!'" the book reads.

13. He is a coward, but...
... the decision to move Trump, his wife and son into the bunker was made by the Secret Service. They have absolute authority to move the president to safety.
Not only is Trump a coward but this story illustrates his stupidity. Trump could have been the one to tell the story and spin it to make himself look heroic. He could have told the press the story in an amusing way downplaying the dangers that the Secret Service perceived. Instead, he lied, as usual.
What a whiny, stupid little shit.
