Donald Trump’s response when someone coughs in the Oval Office tells you all you need to know
There were lots of fascinating moments in this documentary about Donald Trump but the most revealing was what happened when the so-called president was trying to explain something (AKA making it up) on camera when someone coughed.
This is what happened next (sound up and skip to 20 seconds if you don’t want to wait).

Trump is a self-confessed germophobe (physician, heal thyself!) and the person he orders out of the room is his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney.
And some of our favourite things people said about it.

Someone DARED to cough in King Trump's presence.
"If you're going to cough, leave the room."

So anytime Trump does an interview or public speech…i want to hear the loudest most annoying coughs from the audience.

Text from former 2016 Trump campaign staffer: “I was told by multiple people when I came aboard to never cough or sneeze while in the presence of Trump. He thinks it’s a sign of weakness and lack of control. Nobody ever recovers.” https://t.co/9CmKeoH1iu

Trump banishing a person in room for having the audacity to have to cough during his disastrous interview. I’ve run out of adjectives to describe my hatred for this thing in a suit. pic.twitter.com/O60cvrkdQw

I think #Mulvaney was trying not to laugh when #Trump said, “It’s a fantastic financial statement”, and it came out as a cough.

Evidently Trump first of all said he enjoyed making the documentary. But then something happened (maybe he watched it) and this happened.
