A new book is bringing to light new anecdotes of the chaos and surprises of Washington in the Trump era, including the time the president challenged a Republican lawmaker by asking 'Who the f*** are you?'
That confrontation came when Florida Republican Rep. Bill Posey, who was elected a decade ago, challenged Trump on the ultra-sensitive issue of his inaugural crowd size.
The lawmaker urged Trump to stop the 'tweets and whining about crowd size,' according to an anecdote in 'The Hill to Die on,' a new book by the two authors of Politico's Playbook.
‘Who the f*** are you?’ countered Trump. The president then repeated his inaccurate statement that his was the ‘biggest inauguration’ ever.'
