RANTING AT 3 TVs AND GORGING ON BURGERS

- By LOUISE BERWICK louise.berwick@dailystar.co.uk

DONALD Trump eats burgers in bed, yells at staff who dare to touch his toothbrush and watches three TVs at once.

The claims are made in a bombshell new book called Fire And Fury: Inside The Trump White House by Michael Wolff.

The US President was so angry over what he calls “libellous” allegation­s that he tried to get it banned last night.

His lawyer Charles J. Harder demanded the publisher “immediatel­y cease from any further publicatio­n of the book” including excerpts and summaries.

Wolff claims Mr Trump would plough through McDonald’s meals in his bedroom because he feared being poisoned by any other food.

He writes: “If he was not having his 6.30 dinner with (former right-hand man) Steve Bannon, then, more to his liking, he was in bed by that time with a cheeseburg­er watching his three screens and making phone calls.

“The phone was his true contact point with the world.”

The President was so paranoid about being poisoned, he would yell at staff not to touch anything in his room, “especially his toothbrush”. He would also allegedly leave his clothes on the floor and demand they weren’t touched.

Wolff claims Trump would say: “If my shirt is on the floor, it’s because I want it on the floor.”

He goes on to tell how Trump tried to seduce the wives of his friends.

The book says: “Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed.

“In pursuing a friend’s wife, he’d have his secretary ask the friend into his office.”

The President would then allegedly say: “You must have had a better f*** than your wife? Tell me about it. I have girls coming in from Los Angeles at three o’clock. We can go upstairs and have a great time. I promise.”

Wolff adds: “All the while Trump would have his friend’s wife on the speakerpho­ne listening in.”

The book also says Bannon accused Trump’s son, Donald Jr, and son-in-law Jared Kushner of holding a “treasonous” meeting with a Russian lawyer during the Presidenti­al election campaign.

As well as trying to get the controvers­ial book banned, Mr Trump has fired a “cease and desist” order at Bannon, who is believed to have leaked some of the White House stories.
