  • From CBS’ 60 Minutes to Da Ali G Show, Trump has cut short interviews when he wasn’t feeling them – he even claimed in one that Joe Biden wasn’t asked enough ‘tough questions’ in comparison
  • Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson claimed that Trump would throw plates and flip tablecloths when he was angry, which seems to be in keeping with his other outbursts

Donald Trump may be 76 years old, but the real estate mogul-turned-politician is famous for his emotional outbursts when he doesn’t feel he’s getting his way. As a result, he’s been called everything from a “Man-Child” to “The Toddler in Chief” by critics.

From storming out of an interview in the 1990s to calling prosecutors nasty names earlier this year, here are Trump’s biggest tantrums ever.

1. His table manners

Cassidy Hutchinson, former top aide to ex White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, revealed in a January 6 committee hearing that, “There was ketchup dripping down the wall and a shattered porcelain plate on the floor” after a valet told her that Trump hurled his lunch plate at the wall when he was “extremely angry”.

The alleged fit of rage came after attorney general Bill Barr told the Associated Press in December 2020 that there was no widespread voter fraud in the previous month’s election.

Hutchinson also noted, “There were several times throughout my tenure with the chief of staff that I was aware of him either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth to let all the contents of the table go onto the floor and likely break or go everywhere.”
