Enough wrath for all: Six times Trump attacked his friends

Published



President Trump is famous for taking down his enemies with slashing comments and tweets. But, sometimes, his friends and allies get a strong dose of the Trump treatment as well.

The president’s friendships are reportedly defined by fealty. He surrounds himself with faithful stewards of his message. And, while he is willing to hear a variety of opinions, dissent is not to be aired publicly, and perceived mistakes are not taken lightly. He can be quick to punish, it is said, lobbing broadsides that can resemble the taunts he tweets at his enemies. For some, a door stays open to the rekindling of the friendship. Less so for others.
