We ranked 20 bonkers revelations from Maggie Haberman’s new book, including the time Hillary Clinton was warned that Trump might poison her via handshake and the time Trump tweeted a classified photo because it looked "sexy"

Way back in February, during the earliest stages of the Trump classified-document scandal, Axios ran this incredible paragraph under the headline “Haberman book: Flushed papers found clogging WH toilet“:
While President Trump was in office, staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper, Maggie Haberman scoops in her forthcoming book, “Confidence Man.”
Then on August 8 — weirdly, just hours before the feds raided Mar-a-Lago — Haberman took this delightfully gross story a bit too far. She shared a toilet photo that backed up her reporting but also forced Trump gossip hounds like myself to confront some uncomfortable questions about how we’re using our time on this earth.
11. Trump Doesn’t Consider Jared a Great Outdoorsman
Kushner suggests in his own book that his father-in-law heaped praise on him all the time. But Haberman reports Trump regularly belittled Kushner, at times complaining that he “sounds like a child” and grousing about “fucking Shabbat” when Kushner was observing religious customs. Trump also suggested his son-in-law wouldn’t make it on a camping trip, according to The Guardian:
“Ivanka wants to rent one of those big RVs,” Trump told bemused aides, according to a new book by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, before gesturing to his daughter’s husband. “This skinny guy wants to do it. Can you imagine Jared and his skinny ass camping? It’d be like something out of Deliverance.” According to Haberman, Trump then “made noises mimicking the banjo theme song from the 1972 movie about four men vacationing in rural Georgia who are attacked, pursued, and in one case brutally raped by a local resident.”
16. Trump Is Trans- and Homophobic
Trump has endorsed an adviser’s claim that he’s the “most pro-gay president in American history,” but Haberman’s reporting — and plenty of other evidence — says otherwise. According to a book excerpt published by The Daily Beast, Trump has always loved guessing about who might be gay, and during debate prep in 2016, he responded to a hypothetical question from a female transgender student about whether she could use the girl’s bathroom by asking, “Cocked or decocked?”: Offering up a “blank stare,” the group was taken aback. “Decocked?” an unspecified individual in the room responded. Trump then began making “a chopping gesture.” “With cock or without cock?” he said. At that moment, his advisers sitting within Trump Tower had come to understand that Trump wanted to know if the imaginary student had transitioned and undergone bottom surgery. “What difference does that make?” an adviser in the room responded to Trump. The now former president shot back that such a determination would impact his answer. “What if a girl was in the bathroom and someone came in, lifted up a skirt, and a schlong was hanging out,” Trump continued.
