This morning it was reported via ABC’s Jonathan Karl’s new book that on Trump’s last day as president, he said he was leaving the Republican Party to form his own party and that he didn’t care if it destroyed the Republican Party:
In an angry conversation on his final day as president, Donald Trump told the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee he was leaving the GOP and creating his own political party — and that he didn’t care if the move would destroy the Republican Party, according to a new book by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Trump only backed down when Republican leaders threatened to take actions that would have cost Trump millions of dollars, Karl writes his upcoming book, “Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show.”
The standoff started on Jan. 20, just after Trump boarded Air Force One for his last flight as president.
But Trump just released a statement saying none of that is true, that it’s all completely fabricated from third-rate fake news reporter Jonathan Karl:
