Trump once summoned Priebus to kill a fly

A source told The Washington Post that once during an Oval Office meeting, a fly began buzzing around Trump's head, distracting him. Trump eventually summoned Priebus and told him to kill the fly. As a senior White House staffer, the chief of staff would not ordinarily be tasked with such matters.

A senior White House official told the newspaper that Trump often referenced Priebus' comments after the infamous "Access Hollywood" interview with Trump surfaced. Priebus, as head of the Republican National Committee, said at the time Trump that should drop out of the presidential race. The official told the Post that Trump's complaints about Priebus had ramped up in recent weeks. "It reached a fever pitch of the president complaining about Reince to all of us," the official said. "If we heard it once, we heard it 20 times in the last week - this erosion of confidence. The word was 'weak' - 'weak,' 'weak,' 'weak.' 'Can't get it done.'" The Wall Street Journal reported Friday night that Trump wasn't happy with Priebus because he didn't fire back at newly hired White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci following the publication of an explosive interview in which Scaramucci called Priebus a "f--- paranoid schizophrenic."
