DescriptionPresident Trump was in an especially ornery mood after staff members gently suggested he refrain from injecting politics into day-to-day issues of governing after last month’s raucous rally in Arizona, and he responded by lashing out at the most senior aide in his presence.

In the future, he said, he would not abide such treatment, according to three people familiar with the exchange.
