WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 06: U.S. President Donald Trump hosts a roundtable discussion with small business owners and members of his administration in the Roosevelt Room at the White House December 06, 2019 in Washington, DC.
President Donald Trump erupted at his campaign manager Brad Parscale on a telephone call last Friday after polls in several battleground states showed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden beating him in November. Trump needs to notch victories in the six states seen as 2020 battlegrounds—Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona and North Carolina, to secure reelection.
Surveys conducted by the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Trump campaign revealed that job losses, deaths and political tensions during the coronavirus crisis have hurt the president’s standing in the 2020 general election campaign.
Trump reportedly cursed out and threatened to sue Parscale.
“I’m not f—ing losing to Joe Biden,” five sources claimed that Trump screamed at Parscale, according to the Associated Press.
