Donald Trump did not take kindly to a warning from GOP pollster Tony Fabrizio in the months before the 2020 election, Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa write in their upcoming book Peril.

When Fabrizio told Trump following his failed July 2020 comeback rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that voters were fatigued, tired of the chaos and tired of the tumult of his administration, Trump reportedly fired back:

Oh, theyre tired? Theyre fucking tired? Well Im fucking tired and fatigued too.

Trump then launched into a verbal tirade about Joe Biden , calling him too old, according to excerpts of the book that Insider published on Friday.

Fabrizio reportedly counseled Trump against depicting Biden as a crazy liberal, saying: I dont think people will buy it.
